• "Some believe there is nothing one man or one woman can do against the enormous array of the world's ills -- against misery, against ignorance, or injustice and violence. Yet many of the world's great movements, of thought and action, have flowed from the work of a single man. A young monk began the Protestant reformation, a young general extended an empire from Macedonia to the borders of the earth, and a young woman reclaimed the territory of France. It was a young Italian explorer who discovered the w World, and 32 year old Thomas Jefferson who proclaimed that all men are created equal. Give me a place to stand,' said Archimedes, and I will move the world.' These men moved the world, and so can we all."

  ~ Robert F. Kennedy quotes
