More quotes by John F. Kennedy
Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man
John F. Kennedy
I have said that control of arms is a mission that we undertake particularly for our children and our grandchildren and that they have no lobby in Washington.
John F. Kennedy
In addition, the United States Delegation will suggest a series of steps to improve the United Nations machinery for the peaceful settlement of disputes... - for extending the rule of international law. For peace is not solely a matter of military or technical problems - it is primarily a problem of politics and people.
John F. Kennedy
I look forward to an America which will not be afraid of grace and beauty.
John F. Kennedy
For a subject worked and reworked so often in novels, motion pictures, and television, American Indians remain probably the least understood and most misunderstood Americans of us all.

Let us not despair but act. Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past - let us accept our own responsibility for the future.
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
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
John F. Kennedy
We dare not forget that we are the heirs of that first revolution.
John F. Kennedy
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
When I was growing up I had three wishes. I wanted to be a Lindbergh-type hero, learn Chinese, and become a member of The Algonquin Round Table.
John F. Kennedy
The weapons of war must be abolished before they abolish us.
John F. Kennedy
The war against hunger is truly mankind's war of liberation.
John F. Kennedy
Not every child has an equal talent or an equal ability or equal motivation, but they should have the equal right to develop their talent and their ability and their motivation, to make something of themselves.
John F. Kennedy
For without belittling the courage with which men have died, we should not forget those acts of courage with which men have lived.
John F. Kennedy
Let us welcome controversial books and controversial authors.
John F. Kennedy
Nearly forty years ago, a distinguished Prime Minister of this country ... said, 'They may not be angels but they are at least our friends.'* I must say that I do not think that we probably demonstrated in that forty years that we are angels yet, but I hope we have demonstrated that we are at least friends.
John F. Kennedy
A revolution is coming – a revolution which will be peaceful if we are wise enough compassionate if we care enough successful if we are fortunate enough – but a revolution which is coming whether we will it or not. We can affect its character we cannot alter its inevitability.
John F. Kennedy
Sincerity is always subject to proof.
John F. Kennedy
We stand for freedom. That is our conviction for ourselves that is our only commitment to others.
John F. Kennedy
