“I hope they live as good people, that they understand that though they have what many don’t, that does not make them better—but that they can do better, they can help make a difference in this land of freedom that which freedom has not been given to all. My hope is that they’re gracious like their mother, and they’re sensible in their actions. And if politics is their passion, well, I can’t very well argue with that now can I?” - John F. Kennedy talking about his children

Happy 87th Birthday Ethel Skakel Kennedy! (April 11, 1928)

“Nobody gets a free ride. Everybody faces friends who have died or family who have died or who are really sick. So have your wits about you and do what you can and dig in, because it might not last.”
