"Each time a person 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, these ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly. Some see things that are, and ask why. I dream of things that never were and ask why not." -- Robert F. Kennedy
