More quotes by John F. Kennedy
Sometimes party loyalty asks too much.
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
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 is, in addition to a courage with which men die a courage by which men must live.
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
Unconditional war can no longer lead to unconditional victory. It can no longer serve to settle disputes... can no longer be of concern to great powers alone.
John F. Kennedy
Moral courage is more a rare commodity than bravery in a battle or great intelligence.
John F. Kennedy
The fact that we live in a world that moves crisis by crisis does not make a growing interest in outdoor activities frivolous, or ample provision for them unworthy of the nation's concern.
John F. Kennedy
Political sovereignty is but a mockery without the means of meeting poverty and illiteracy and disease. Self-determination is but a slogan if the future holds no hope.
John F. Kennedy
Events of October 1962 indicated, as they had all through history, that control of the sea means security. Control of the seas can mean peace. Control of the seas can mean victory. The United States must control the seas if it is to protect your security.
John F. Kennedy
Let us make it clear that we will never turn our backs on our steadfast friends in Israel, whose adherence to the democratic way must be admired by all friends of freedom.
John F. Kennedy
Aggressive conduct, if allowed to go unchecked and unchallenged, ultimately leads to war.
John F. Kennedy
Those who do nothing are inviting shame as well as violence. Those who act boldly are recognizing right as well as reality.
John F. Kennedy
Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.
John F. Kennedy
Remember that our nation's first great leaders were also our first great scholars.
John F. Kennedy
For a subject worked and reworked so often in novels, motion pictures, and television, American Indians remain probably the least understood and most misunderstood Americans of us all.
John F. Kennedy
Peaceful circulation has been interupted by barbed wire and concrete blocks. For a city or a people to be truly free, they must have the secure right, without economic, political or police pressure, to make their own choices and live their own lives.
John F. Kennedy
Libraries should be open to all - except the censor.
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
In a time of domestic crisis, men of goodwill and generosity should be able to unite regardless of party or politics.
John F. Kennedy
