RFK: "Let no one be discouraged by the belief there is nothing one man or one woman can do..."

Voice of the Day: Robert F. Kennedy

Let no one be discouraged by the belief there is nothing one man or one woman can do against the enormous array of the world's ills, against misery and ignorance, injustice and violence. ... Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, 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 our generation.

- Robert F. Kennedy

1. That ties in very nicely with a favorite quote of mine:

"Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before."
