More quotes by John F. Kennedy
A young man who does not have what it takes to perform military service is not likely to have what it takes to make a living. Today's military rejects include tomorrow's hard-core unemployed.
John F. Kennedy
I will splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds.
John F. Kennedy
A committee is twelve men doing the work of one.
John F. Kennedy
I want every American to be free to stand up for his rights, even if sometimes he has to sit down for them.
John F. Kennedy
Lower rates of taxation will stimulate economic activity and so raise the levels of personal and corporate income as to yield within a few years an increased - not a reduced - flow of revenues to the federal government.
John F. Kennedy
The most ideal approach to advance is the way of opportunity.
John F. Kennedy
Last year, more Americans went to symphonies than went to baseball games. This may be viewed as an alarming statistic, but I think that both baseball and the country will endure.
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
The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all.
John F. Kennedy
Remember that our nation's first great leaders were also our first great scholars.
John F. Kennedy
We will not prematurely or unnecessarily risk the costs of a worldwide nuclear war in which even the fruits of victory would be ashes in our mouth - but neither shall we shrink from that risk any time it must be faced.
John F. Kennedy
This country cannot afford to be materially rich and spiritually poor.
John F. Kennedy
Knowledge of the oceans is more than a matter of curiosity. Our very survival may hinge upon it.
John F. Kennedy
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
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
Democracy is the superior form of government, because it is based on a respect for man as a reasonable being.
John F. Kennedy
So let us begin anew -- remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate. Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us.
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
I see no magic in tax dollars which are sent to Washington and then returned. I abhor the waste and incompetence of large-scale federal bureaucracies in this administration as well as in others. I do not favor state compulsion when voluntary individual effort can do the job and do it well.
John F. Kennedy
The weapons of war must be abolished before they abolish us.
John F. Kennedy
