Some men see things as they...

原句係十九二十世紀大文豪 George Bernard Shaw 嘅作品. 之後有美國已故議員 Robert F Kennedy 於六十年代公開演講時借用, 令呢句金句聞名於世


"Some men see things as they are and say, 'Why'? I dream of things that never were and say, 'Why not'?" Robert Kennedy made this quotation famous during his 1968 Presidential campaign. Although he apparently used it on several occasions as a kind of slogan, the only occasion for which we have been able to find documentation is his speech at the University of Kansas on March 18, 1968. In its original form, the quotation was said by the serpent in George Bernard Shaw's play Back to Methuselah , and was used by President Kennedy in his Speech to the Irish Parliament on June 28, 1963: "Speaking as an Irishman [Shaw] summed up an approach to life: 'Other people,' he said, 'see things and say: why - but I dream things that never were and say: why not.'"

it's a dream quotes of Robert F. Kennedy

This quotation has been attributed to Robert F. Kennedy, but we have not found any written confirmation of this fact, although many individuals have stated that they heard him say it at various times. There are several translations of the original quotation, a saying of the Rabbi Hillel from the Pirkay Avot, a book of the Mishnah, the first part of the Talmud. Here is one translation: "If I am not for myself, who will be for me? And if I am only for myself, what am I? And if not now -- when?"
