More quotes by John F. Kennedy
History will not judge our endeavors--and a government cannot be selected--merely on the basis of color or creed or even party affiliation. Neither will competence and loyalty and stature, while essential to the utmost, suffice in times such as these.
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
Fail miserably, achieve greatly!
John F. Kennedy
Sincerity is always subject to proof.
John F. Kennedy
American history is not something dead and over. It is always alive,always growing, always unfinished.
John F. Kennedy
We go into space because whatever mankind must undertake, free men must fully share.
John F. Kennedy
For I can assure you that we love our country, not for what it was, though it has always been great - not for what it is, though of this we are deeply proud - but for what it someday can, and, through the efforts of us all, someday will be.
John F. Kennedy
Members of the Congress, the Constitution makes us not rivals for power but partners for progress. We are all trustees for the American people, custodians of the American heritage. It is my task to report the State of the Union--to improve it is the task of us all.
John F. Kennedy
The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all.
John F. Kennedy
No responsibility of government is more fundamental than the responsibility of maintaining the highest standard of ethical behavior for those who conduct the public business.
John F. Kennedy
Ask not that the journey be easy ask instead that it be worth it.
John F. Kennedy
The function and responsibility of the President is to set before the American people the unfinished business, the things we must do if we are going to succeed as a nation.
John F. Kennedy
The science of weapons and war has made us all one world and one human race with one common destiny.
John F. Kennedy
And so it is to the printing press--to the recorder of mans deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news-- that we look for strength and assistance, confident that with your help man will be what he was born to be: free and independent.
John F. Kennedy
I would rather be accused of breaking precedents than breaking promises.
John F. Kennedy
All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin. And therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words 'Ich bin ein Berliner!'
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
The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.
John F. Kennedy
Philanthropy, charity, giving voluntarily and freely... call it what you like, but it is truly a jewel of an American tradition.
John F. Kennedy
The most effective means of upholding the law is not the State policeman or the marshals or the National Guard. It is you. It lies in your courage to accept those laws with which you disagree as well as those with which you agree.
John F. Kennedy
