Robert Kennedy Quotes About Politics

Quotes about: Politics

• It is from the numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal or acts to improve the lot of others or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

He plants it for posterity.' Let us continue to plant, and our children shall reap the harvest. That is our destiny as Democrats.
