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
No man who enters upon the office to which I have succeeded can fail to recognize how every president of the United States has placed special reliance upon his faith in God.
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
History will never accept difficulties as an excuse.
John F. Kennedy
Not everyone has equal abilities, but everyone should have equal opportunity for education.

Here on earth, God's work must surely be our own.
John F. Kennedy
