"Make Gentle The Life of This World" - RFK



"It is simple to follow the easy and familiar path of personal ambition and private gain. It is more comfortable to sit content in the easy approval of friends and of neighbors than to risk the friction and the controversy that comes with public affairs. It is easier to fall in step with the slogans of others than to march to the beat of the internal drummer--to make and stand on judgments of your own. And it is far easier to accept and to stand on the past, than to fight for the answers of the future."

- Robert F. Kennedy
