More quotes by John F. Kennedy
It's only when they join together in a forward movement that this country moves ahead.
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
A tired nation, said David Lloyd George, is a Tory nation, and the United States today cannot afford to be either tired or Tory.
John F. Kennedy
Nearly forty years ago, a distinguished Prime Minister of this country ... said, 'They may not be angels but they are at least our friends.'* I must say that I do not think that we probably demonstrated in that forty years that we are angels yet, but I hope we have demonstrated that we are at least friends.
John F. Kennedy
To be courageous requires no exceptional qualifications, no magic formula, no special combination of time, place, and circumstance. It is an opportunity that sooner or later is presented to us all.
John F. Kennedy
At the start of 2005 the idea of downloading a song to a mobile phone was an idea, by the end of the year it was a reality.
John F. Kennedy
The world was not meant to be a prison in which man awaits his execution.
John F. Kennedy
Once you say you're going to settle for second, that's what happens to you in life.
John F. Kennedy
Art establishes the basic human truths which must serve as the touchstone of our judgement.
John F. Kennedy
For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe -- the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.
John F. Kennedy
Never let your fears hold you back from pursuing your hopes.
John F. Kennedy
But however close we sometimes seem to that dark and final abyss, let no man of peace and freedom despair. For he does not stand alone.
John F. Kennedy
Those [presidents] who were strongest intellectually were also strongest spiritually.
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
And this Nation, for all its hopes and all its boasts, will not be fully free until all its citizens are free.
John F. Kennedy
A revolution is coming – a revolution which will be peaceful if we are wise enough compassionate if we care enough successful if we are fortunate enough – but a revolution which is coming whether we will it or not. We can affect its character we cannot alter its inevitability.
John F. Kennedy
If men and women are in chains anywhere in the world, then freedom is endangered everywhere.
John F. Kennedy
Now let me make it clear that I believe there can only be one defense policy for the United States and that is summed up in the word 'first.' I do not mean first, but. I do not mean first, when. I do not mean first, if. I mean first - period.
John F. Kennedy
There is a terrific disadvantage in not having the abrasive quality of the press applied to you daily. Even though we never like it, and even though we wish they didn't write it, and even though we disapprove, there isn't any doubt that we could not do the job at all in a free society without a very, very active press.
John F. Kennedy
Self-government requires qualities of self-denial and restraint.
John F. Kennedy
