What One Person Can Do

Hat tip to God’s Politics for this quote from Robert F. Kennedy, in a 1966 speech at the University of Capetown, South Africa:

Let no one be discouraged by the belief there is nothing one man or one woman can do against the enormous array of the world’s ills, against misery and ignorance, injustice and violence. … 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 our generation.

“What in your life is calling you? When all the noise is silenced, the meetings adjourned, the lists laid aside, and the wild iris blooms by itself in the dark forest, what still pulls on your soul?”
The Box: Remembering the Gift
