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.

More quotes by John F. Kennedy
There comes a point where you see no evidence that the carrot and diplomacy are working.
John F. Kennedy
The basis of self-government and freedom requires the development of character and self-restraint and perseverance and the long view. And these are qualities which require many years of training and education.
John F. Kennedy
Certain other societies may respect the rule of force--we respect the rule of law.
John F. Kennedy
There has also been a change - a slippage - in our intellectual and moral strength. Seven lean years of drouth and famine have withered a field of ideas.
John F. Kennedy
The exploration of space will go ahead, whether we join in it or not, and it is one of the great adventures of all time, and no nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in this race for space.
John F. Kennedy
Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.
John F. Kennedy
If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
John F. Kennedy
When I was growing up I had three wishes. I wanted to be a Lindbergh-type hero, learn Chinese, and become a member of The Algonquin Round Table.
John F. Kennedy
A young man who does not have what it takes to perform military service is not likely to have what it takes to make a living. Today's military rejects include tomorrow's hard-core unemployed.
John F. Kennedy
I am not so much concerned with the right of everyone to say anything he pleases as I am about our need as a self-governing people to hear everything relevant.
John F. Kennedy
I am flatly opposed to appointment of an ambassador to the Vatican. Whatever advantages it might have in Rome - and I'm not convinced of these - they would be more than offset by the divisive effect at home.
John F. Kennedy
Do you realize the responsibility I carry? I'm the only person standing between Richard Nixon and the White House.
John F. Kennedy
Struggle for freedom. Where people are denied the right of choice, recourse to such struggle is the only means of achieving their liberties.
John F. Kennedy
One person can make a difference, and everyone should try.
John F. Kennedy
Effort and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.
John F. Kennedy
Remember that our nation's first great leaders were also our first great scholars.
John F. Kennedy
I believe in a president whose religious views are his own private affair, neither imposed by him upon the nation, or imposed by the nation upon him as a condition to holding that office.
John F. Kennedy
I must say that though other days may not be so bright, as we look toward the future, that the brightest days will continue to be those we spent with you here in Ireland.
John F. Kennedy
Political action is the highest responsibility of a citizen.
John F. Kennedy
The best road to progress is freedom's road.
John F. Kennedy
