Robert F. Kennedy's Ripple Of Hope

"Few will have the greatness to bend history;
but each of us can work to change a small
portion of events, and in the total of all those
acts will be written the history of this
generation ...

"It is from numberless diverse acts
of courage and belief that human history is
thus shaped.

"Each time a man
(or woman) stands up for
an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others,
or strikes out against injustice, he
(or she) 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 which
can sweep down the mightiest walls of
oppression and resistance."




Robert F. Kennedy (1925-1968)


"those ripples build a current which
can sweep down the mightiest walls of
oppression and resistance."
