The vanity of our false distinctions (Robert F. Kennedy)


    We must admit the vanity of our false distinctions among men and learn to find our own advancement in the search for the advancement of all. We must admit in ourselves that our children’s future cannot be built on the misfortunes of others. We must recognize that this short life can neither be ennobled nor enriched by hatred or revenge.

--Robert F. Kennedy,
Remarks to the Cleveland City Club,
April 5, 1968
