More quotes by John F. Kennedy
World peace, like community peace, does not require that each man love his neighbor - it requires only that they live together with mutual tolerance, submitting their disputes to a just and peaceful settlement.
John F. Kennedy
Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe. The survival of our friends is in danger. And yet no war has been declared, no borders have been crossed by marching troops, no missiles have been fired.
John F. Kennedy
There are those who regard this history of past strife and exile as better forgotten. But, to use the phrase of Yeats, let us not casually reduce that great past to a trouble of fools. For we need not feel the bitterness of the past to discover its meaning for the present and the future.
John F. Kennedy
There has also been a change - a slippage - in our intellectual and moral strength. Seven lean years of drouth and famine have withered a field of ideas.
John F. Kennedy
This is not the land of my birth, but it is the land for which I hold the greatest affection, and I certainly will come back in the springtime
John F. Kennedy
The best road to progress is freedom's road.
John F. Kennedy
Courage--judgment--integrity--dedication--these are the historic qualities of the Bay Colony and the Bay State....And these are the qualities which, with God's help, this son of Massachusetts hopes will characterize our government's conduct in the four stormy years that lie ahead.
John F. Kennedy
Richard Cromwell was not fit to wear the mantle of his uncle.
John F. Kennedy
For I can assure you that we love our country, not for what it was, though it has always been great - not for what it is, though of this we are deeply proud - but for what it someday can, and, through the efforts of us all, someday will be.
John F. Kennedy
A great change is at hand, and our task, our obligation, is to make that revolution, that change, peaceful and constructive for all.
John F. Kennedy
The function and responsibility of the President is to set before the American people the unfinished business, the things we must do if we are going to succeed as a nation.
John F. Kennedy
Any danger spot is tenable if men, brave men, will make it so.
John F. Kennedy
Remember that our nation's first great leaders were also our first great scholars.
John F. Kennedy
Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet.
John F. Kennedy
There are no 'white' or 'coloured' signs on the foxholes or graveyards of battle.
John F. Kennedy
The purpose of foreign policy is not to provide an outlet for our own sentiments of hope or indignation it is to shape real events in a real world.
John F. Kennedy
Those who came before us made certain that this country rode the first waves of the industrial revolution, the first waves of modern invention and the first wave of nuclear power. And this generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming age of space. We mean to be part of it-we mean to lead it.
John F. Kennedy
Don't ask 'Why', ask instead, 'Why not'.
John F. Kennedy
Genuine peace must be the product of many nations, the sum of many acts. It must be dynamic, not static, changing to meet the challenge of each new generation. For peace is a process-a way of solving problems.
John F. Kennedy
A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.
John F. Kennedy
