More quotes by John F. Kennedy
The men who create power make an indispensable contribution to the nation's greatness. But the men who question power make a contribution just as indispensable for they determine whether we use power or power uses us.
John F. Kennedy
Hold fast to the best of the past and move fast to the best of the future.
John F. Kennedy
The war against hunger is truly mankind's war of liberation.
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
To sound the alarm is not to panic but to seek action from an aroused public.
John F. Kennedy
I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered at the White House - with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.
John F. Kennedy
And so it is to the printing press--to the recorder of mans deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news-- that we look for strength and assistance, confident that with your help man will be what he was born to be: free and independent.
John F. Kennedy
So let us begin anew -- remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate. Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us.
John F. Kennedy
We want to be first not first if, not first but but first!
John F. Kennedy
We are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence — on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day
John F. Kennedy
We believe that if men have the talent to invent new machines that put men out of work, they have the talent to put those men back to work.
John F. Kennedy
My call is not to those who believe they belong to the past. My call is to those who believe in 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
Someone always needs rescuing, yet there's only one person who ever seems to understand you. It's a lot like being Lassie.
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
In seeking the help of the Congress and our countrymen, I pledged no easy answers. I pledged, and asked, only toil and dedication. These the Congress and the people have given in good measure.
John F. Kennedy
The farmer is the only man in our economy who buys everything at retail, sells everything at wholesale, and pays the freight both ways.
John F. Kennedy
The world knows that America will never start a war. This generation of Americans has had enough of war and hate... we want to build a world of peace where the weak are secure and the strong are just.
John F. Kennedy
Anyone who can solve the problems of water will be worthy of two Nobel prizes - one for peace and one for science.
John F. Kennedy
Israel was not created in order to disappear. Israel will endure and flourish.
John F. Kennedy
