John F. Kennedy
Never let your fears hold you back from pursuing your hopes.
John F. Kennedy
Democracy is never a final achievement. It is a call to an untiring effort.

I see no magic in tax dollars which are sent to Washington and then returned. I abhor the waste and incompetence of large-scale federal bureaucracies in this administration as well as in others. I do not favor state compulsion when voluntary individual effort can do the job and do it well.
John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy
Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly.
John F. Kennedy
A committee is twelve men doing the work of one.
John F. Kennedy
The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word 'crisis.' One brush stroke stands for danger the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger--but recognize the opportunity.
John F. Kennedy
The basis of effective government is public confidence, and that confidence is endangered when ethical standards falter or appear to falter.
John F. Kennedy
Most cities are nouns. New York's a verb.
John F. Kennedy
The guiding principle of this Nation has been, is now, and ever shall be IN GOD WE TRUST.
John F. Kennedy
If we could ever competitively, at a cheap rate, get fresh water from saltwater, ..(this) would be in the long-range interests of humanity which could really dwarf any other scientific accomplishments.
John F. Kennedy
Sincerity is always subject to proof.
John F. Kennedy
The human mind is our fundamental resource.
John F. Kennedy
