“Dare to rise to greatness”

 A Quotation on Daring to be Great

Robert F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, is considered to be one of the great men of the 20th century to have shown positive and laudable leadership examples to his fellow humans. In his quote below he delivers some provocative words on each human's worth to be excellent. The members of M.A.D. are willing to take up his mantle to rise to greatness, even in the smallest of ways.

Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. 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.
