Tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one's own beliefs. Rather it condemns the oppression or persecution of others.
John F. Kennedy
Image
Let us make it clear that we will never turn our backs on our steadfast friends in Israel, whose adherence to the democratic way must be admired by all friends of freedom.
John F. Kennedy
Image
Just because we cannot see clearly te end of the road, that is no reason for not setting out on the essential journey.
John F. Kennedy

We dare not forget that we are the heirs of that first revolution.

Each increase of tension has produced an increase of arms each increase of arms has produced an increase of tension.
