In free society art is not a weapon...Artists are not engineers of the soul.
John F. Kennedy

The war against hunger is truly mankind's war of liberation.
John F. Kennedy
Image
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

John F. Kennedy
Image
I hear it said that West Berlin is militarily untenable - and so was Bastogne, and so, in fact, was Stalingrad. Any danger spot is tenable if men - brave men - will make it so.
John F. Kennedy

To each of us is entrusted the heavy responsibility of guiding the affairs of a democratic nation founded on Christian ideals.

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
Image
What really counts is not the immediate act of courage or of valor, but those who bear the struggle day in and day out - not the sunshine patriots but those who are willing to stand for a long period of time.

By the age of six the average child will have completed the basic American education.... From television, the child will have learned how to pick a lock, commit a fairly elaborate bank holdup, prevent wetness all day long, get the laundry twice as white, and kill people with a variety of sophisticated armaments.

History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.

The margin is narrow, but the responsibility is clear.

The pay is good and I can walk to work.
