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 this generation…
Thousands of unknown men and women in Europe resisted the occupation of the
Nazis and many died, but all added to the ultimate strength and freedom of
their countries. It is from numberless
diverse acts of 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, which can sweep
down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.
--Robert F.
Kennedy, June 6, 1966
