Modern cynics and skeptics... see no harm in paying those to whom they entrust the minds of their children a smaller wage than is paid to those to whom they entrust the care of their plumbing.

More quotes by John F. Kennedy
[War] can no longer be of concern to great powers alone.
John F. Kennedy
Our alliance is born, not of fear, but of hope. It is an alliance that advances what we are for, as well as opposes what we are against.
John F. Kennedy
And a revolution of automation finds machines replacing men in the mines and mills of America, without replacing their incomes or their training or their needs to pay the family doctor, grocer and landlord.
John F. Kennedy
It is our task in our time and in our generation, to hand down undiminished to those who come after us, as was handed down to us by those who went before, the natural wealth and beauty which is ours.
John F. Kennedy
You know nothing for sure...except the fact that you know nothing for sure.
John F. Kennedy
Unconditional war can no longer lead to unconditional victory. It can no longer serve to settle disputes... can no longer be of concern to great powers alone.
John F. Kennedy
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
John F. Kennedy
Science contributes to our culture in many ways, as a creative intellectual activity in its own right, as the light which has served to illuminate man's place in the universe, and as the source of understanding of man's own nature.
John F. Kennedy
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
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
You have, at the same time, placed your confidence in me, and in my ability to render a free, fair judgment - to uphold the Constitution and my oath of office - and to reject any kind of religious pressure or obligation that might directly or indirectly interfere with my conduct of the Presidency in the national interest.
John F. Kennedy
We in this country, in this generation, are, by destiny rather than choice, the watchmen on the walls of world freedom.
John F. Kennedy
Libraries should be open to all - except the censor. [Response to questionnaire in Saturday Review, October 29 1960]
John F. Kennedy
And only the very courageous will be able to keep alive the spirit of individualism and dissent which gave birth to this nation, nourished it as an infant, and carried it through its severest tests upon the attainment of its maturity.
John F. Kennedy
when my office would require me to either violate my conscience or violate the national interest, then I would resign the office and I hope any conscientious public servant would do the same.
John F. Kennedy
Where nature makes natural allies of us all, we can demonstrate that beneficial relations are possible even with those with whom we most deeply disagree-and this must someday be the basis of world peace and world law.
John F. Kennedy
Should I become President...I will not risk American lives...by permitting any other nation to drag us into the wrong war at the wrong place at the wrong time through an unwise commitment that is unwise militarily, unnecessary to our security and unsupported by our allies.
John F. Kennedy
Hold fast to the best of the past and move fast to the best of the future.
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
No sane society chooses to commit national suicide.
John F. Kennedy
