Robert Kennedy : (5)

" We develop the kind of citizens we deserve. If a large number of our children grow up into frustration and poverty, we must expect to pay the price. " - Robert Kennedy

" It is the right of government to protect the weak; it is the right of the weak to find in their courts fair treatment before the law. " - Robert Kennedy

" Lack of education, old age, bad health or discrimination – these are causes of poverty, and the way to attack it is to go to the root. " - Robert Kennedy

" Communism everywhere has paid the price of rigidity and dogmatism. Freedom has the strength of compassion and flexibility. It has, above all, the strength of intellectual honesty. " - Robert Kennedy

" President Kennedy has named two Negroes to District Judgeships and appointed Thurgood Marshall to the United States Court of Appeals. When I came to the Department of Justice, there were only ten Negroes employed as lawyers; not a single Negro served as a United States Attorney – or ever had in the history of the country. That has been changed. " - Robert Kennedy
