energy and daring.

We remember the life and lasting legacy of Robert F. Kennedy
and his commitment to a more just and peaceful world with his words:
“Each time a man stands up for an ideal… 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 wall of oppression and resistance.”

“all of us might wish at times

that we lived in a more tranquil world,

but we don’t.

and if our times are difficult and perplexing,

so are they challenging and filled with opportunity.”
