"Few will have greatness to bend the will of 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. It is from numberless
acts of diverse courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time
a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or
strikes out against injustice, 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 walls of
oppression and resistance."
Robert F. Kennedy
