The Next Phase

I'm getting ready to head off to the first day of class for fall '09. I'm sensing that I'm embarking upon a new phase. While doing research, I came across an inspirational quote about creating positive social change. It was spoken by none other than positive change agent Robert F. Kennedy on June 6, 1966, in Capetown, South Africa. Here goes:

"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."

Couldn't have said it better myself, Bobby!
