"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do
for you--ask what you can do for your country."--John Fitzgerald
Kennedy, Inauguration Address, January 20, 1961
"Some men see things as they were and say 'why?' I see things
that never were, and ask 'why not?"--Robert Francis Kennedy,
Campaign Speech, University of Kansas, March 18, 1968
"The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and
the dream shall never die."--Senator Edward Kennedy, Democratic
National Convention, New York City, August, 1980
The words of three powerful brothers--men united not just by
family ties but by a tradition of inspiring service that continues
today with their children and grandchildren. Words which have
united a nation, inspired generations to take up the very best and
most honorable of causes, and pushed individuals to do and be and
give their best.
So often, these Kennedys--John, Robert, and Edward--found the
right words to say, to the United States and to the world. John F.
Kennedy, the charismatic President with a strong commitment to
justice and human rights. Robert F. Kennedy, Senator, Attorney
General, and presidential candidate, who carried the family
standard after Jack's assassination and broke new ground in civil
rights prior to his own tragic murder. Edward M. Kennedy, the Lion
of the Senate, whose passion created some of the most far-reaching
legislation of the last five decades.
"The Dream That Will Not Die" collects some of the most striking
speeches and quotes by the Kennedys, showing that even when the
going was tough, these brothers found the right way to make their
thoughts and feelings clear, showing their charm, humor, and
determination. Here you will find your own inspiration, in the
words of three men who believed that all Americans deserved the
same privileges the Kennedys were born to, privileges they never
took for granted.
