While Ted Kennedy is no longer with us, his actions and his word will long outlive him.
As we mourn the loss of the late Senate icon, many commentators will be writing about the political impact Edward Kennedy has made in his long public service career. Today, I’d like to call attention to an equally important part of his legacy.
In an era of empty sound bites and political speeches written around cheap jokes and partisan applause lines, few brought public oratory to such heights as the Kennedy clan. The Kennedy family dynasty of Teddy, JFK, and Robert Kennedy changed the way that Americans view their political leaders.
The Kennedys used political speech as a tool to inspire bold political projects that would transform society. But they also peppered their political speeches with soaring words and inspiring thoughts about political courage, about success in life, about personal honor – inspiring Americans to be the best in all aspects of their lives.
In honor of Senator Edward Kennedy’s recent passing, we’ve compiled our ten favorite inspirational quotes from the Kennedy family.
Don't sacrifice your political convictions for the convenience of the hour.
- Edward M. Kennedy
Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.
- Robert F. Kennedy
We must use time as a tool, not as a crutch.
- John F. Kennedy
Each time someone 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.
- Robert F. Kennedy
Life isn't a matter of milestones, but of moments.
- Rose Kennedy
And so, my fellow americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.
- John F. Kennedy
Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change.
- Robert F. Kennedy
Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind.
- John F. Kennedy
The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.
- John F. Kennedy
The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die.
- Edward M. Kennedy

The 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous – and How They Can Help You
By: David Riklan | 17/09/2009 | AddictionsI want to start by admitting something up front – I’ve never been in a 12 step program. Those who have are often either very passionately for or very strongly against the program, but I’m not looking to take a side. Instead, what I want to do is give you an overview of what the 12 Steps are, because I think most of us have heard of Alcoholics Anonymous and the 12 Steps, but those like me who have never been through the program may not be familiar with the specifics.

Time Management: Keep Yourself On Schedule
By: David Riklan | 23/02/2009 | Self ImprovementIt is not uncommon to hear people complaining that their days at work are too hectic for them to be able to plan anything. Plans never work out, there are always changes: appointments being cancelled or new assignments being added, so that the preview and the review of each day have very little in common. This may be true, but maybe we should take a few moments to breathe and analyze this situation.
