Ted Kennedy’s
Eulogy to Robert F. Kennedy
St. Patrick’s Cathedral,
New York City June 8,
1968
My brother need not be idealized, or enlarged in
death beyond what he was in life; to be remembered simply as a good and decent
man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it,
saw war and tried to stop it. Those of us who loved him and who take him to his
rest today, pray that what he was to us and what he wished for others will some
day come to pass for all the world.
As he said many times, in many parts of this
nation, to those he touched and who sought to touch him: 'Some men see things as
they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why
not.'
