More quotes by John F. Kennedy
I think the American people expect more from us than cries of indignation and attack. The times are too grave, the challenge too urgent, and the stakes too high - to permit the customary passions of political debate.
John F. Kennedy
Never let your fears hold you back from pursuing your hopes.
John F. Kennedy
Modern cynics and skeptics... see no harm in paying those to whom they entrust the minds of their children a smaller wage than is paid to those to whom they entrust the care of their plumbing.
John F. Kennedy
There's an old saying. Never send a boy to do a man's job, send a lady.
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
In free society art is not a weapon...Artists are not engineers of the soul.
John F. Kennedy
Perhaps scientists have been the most international of all professions in their outlook... Every time you scientists make a major invention, we politicians have to invent a new institution to cope with it-and almost invariably, these days, it must be an international institution.
John F. Kennedy
Certain other societies may respect the rule of force--we respect the rule of law.
John F. Kennedy
Art establishes the basic human truths which must serve as the touchstones of our judgement. The artist... faithful to his personal vision of reality, becomes the last champion of the individual mind and sensibility against an intrusive society and an offensive state.
John F. Kennedy
Our alliance is born, not of fear, but of hope. It is an alliance that advances what we are for, as well as opposes what we are against.
John F. Kennedy
The purpose of foreign policy is not to provide an outlet for our own sentiments of hope or indignation it is to shape real events in a real world.
John F. Kennedy
The mere absence of war is not peace.
John F. Kennedy
No sane society chooses to commit national suicide.
John F. Kennedy
A child miseducated is a child lost.
John F. Kennedy
I look forward to an America which will not be afraid of grace and beauty.
John F. Kennedy
Most cities are nouns. New York's a verb.
John F. Kennedy
While it may be theoretically possible to demonstrate the risks inherent in any treaty... the far greater risk to our security are the risks of unrestricted testing, the risks of a nuclear arms race, the risks of new nuclear powers.
John F. Kennedy
World peace, like community peace, does not require that each man love his neighbor - it requires only that they live together with mutual tolerance, submitting their disputes to a just and peaceful settlement.
John F. Kennedy
Israel was not created in order to disappear. Israel will endure and flourish.
John F. Kennedy
The basis of effective government is public confidence.
John F. Kennedy
