"The future does not belong to those who are content with today, apathetic toward common problms and their fellow man alike, timid and fearful in the face of bold proects and new ideas. Rather, it will belong to those who can blend passion, reason, and courage in a personal commitment to the ideals of American society." - Robert F. Kennedy
