The enlargement of liberty for individual human beings must be the supreme goal and abiding practice of any western society.
 Robert Kennedy
At the heart of that western freedom and democracy is the belief that the individual man...is the touchstone of value, and all society, all groups, and states, exist for that person's benefit. Therefore the enlargement of liberty for individual human beings must be the supreme goal and the abiding practice of any western society.

 Robert Kennedy
Prejudice exists and probably will continue to `but we have tried to make progress and we are making progress. We are not going to accept the status quo.'
