Robert F Kennedy quotes - Page : 5

" As long as men are hungry, and their children uneducated, and their crops destroyed by pestilence, the American Revolution will have a part to play.

(NYC, 6-15-65) " # Revolutions and Revolutionaries # Freedom # Children

We are a great country, an unselfish country and a compassionate country. And I intend to make that my basis for running. " # Modern and Modernism # Age and Aging # War
