"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."
-Bobby Kennedy, as excerpted from his "Ripples of Hope" speech, delivered at the University of Cape Town in 1966. Full speech is here.
