More quotes by John F. Kennedy
The freedom of the city is not negotiable. We cannot negotiate with those who say, 'What's mine is mine and what's yours is negotiable.'
John F. Kennedy
There is always inequity in life. Some men are killed in war and some men are wounded some men never leave the country, some men are stationed in the Antarctic and some are stationed in San Francisco. It's very hard in military or in personal life to assure complete equality. Life is unfair.
John F. Kennedy
If this nation is to be wise as well as strong, if we are to achieve our destiny, then we need more new ideas for more wise men reading more good books in more public libraries.
John F. Kennedy
Sincerity is always subject to proof.
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
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
We support the security of both Israel and her neighbors.
John F. Kennedy
Democracy is never a final achievement. It is a call to an untiring effort.
John F. Kennedy
To those whom much is given, much is expected.
John F. Kennedy
Foreign aid is a method by which the United States maintains a position of influence and control around the world
John F. Kennedy
In a world of danger and trial, peace is our deepest aspiration.
John F. Kennedy
Above all, we are coming to understand that the arts incarnate the creativity of a free people. When the creative impulse cannot flourish, when it cannot freely select its methods and objects, when it is deprived of spontaneity, then society severs the root of art.
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
Someone always needs rescuing, yet there's only one person who ever seems to understand you. It's a lot like being Lassie.
John F. Kennedy
Ask not that the journey be easy ask instead that it be worth it.
John F. Kennedy
I can't see that it's wrong to give him a little legal experience before he goes out to practice law.
John F. Kennedy
I know there is a God - I see the storm coming and I see his hand in it - if he has a place then I am ready - we see the hand.
John F. Kennedy
Every president has taken comfort and courage when told...that the Lord will be with thee. He will not fail thee nor forsake thee. Fear not-neither be thou dismayed.
John F. Kennedy
Just because we cannot see clearly te end of the road, that is no reason for not setting out on the essential journey.
John F. Kennedy
I look forward to an America which will not be afraid of grace and beauty...an America which will reward achievement in the arts as we reward achievement in business or statecraft.
John F. Kennedy
