In the final analysis, poverty is a condition of helplessness - of inability to cope with the conditions of existence in our complex society.

What has violence ever accomplished? What has it ever created? No martyr's cause has ever been stilled by an assassin's bullet. No wrongs have ever been righted by riots and civil disorders.

The poor man looks upon the law as an enemy, not as a friend. For him, the law is always taking something away.

Robert Kennedy Quotes
