When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

More quotes by John F. Kennedy
I want every American to be free to stand up for his rights, even if sometimes he has to sit down for them.
John F. Kennedy
In serving his vision of the truth, the artist best serves his nation.
John F. Kennedy
No one has been barred on account of his race from fighting or dying for America, there are no white or colored signs on the foxholes or graveyards of battle.
John F. Kennedy
Partnership is not a posture but a process-a continuous process that grows stronger each year as we devote ourselves to common tasks.
John F. Kennedy
A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.
John F. Kennedy
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
Knowledge of the oceans is more than a matter of curiosity. Our very survival may hinge upon it.
John F. Kennedy
It is insane that two men, sitting on opposite sides of the world, should be able to decide to bring an end to civilization.
John F. Kennedy
Budget deficits are not caused by wild-eyed spenders, but by slow economic growth and periodic recessions. And any new recession would break all deficit records.

John F. Kennedy
Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all.
John F. Kennedy
I would not look with favor upon a President working to subvert the First Amendment's guarantees of religious liberty ... Neither do I look with favor upon those who would work to subvert Article VI of the Constitution by requiring a religious test - even by indirection.
John F. Kennedy
Be strong and of good courage be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed.
John F. Kennedy
No government or social system is so evil that its people must be considered as lacking in virtue.
John F. Kennedy
All over the world, particularly in the newer nations, young men are coming to power--men who are not bound by the traditions of the past--men who are not blinded by the old fears and hates and rivalries-- young men who can cast off the old slogans and delusions and suspicions.
John F. Kennedy
If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.
John F. Kennedy
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.
John F. Kennedy
Neither smiles nor frowns, neither good intentions nor harsh words, are a substitute for strength.
John F. Kennedy
Foreign aid is a method by which the United States maintains a position of influence and control around the world
John F. Kennedy
To each of us is entrusted the heavy responsibility of guiding the affairs of a democratic nation founded on Christian ideals.
John F. Kennedy
O God, thy sea is so great and my boat is so small.
