John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy
I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris, and I have enjoyed it.
John F. Kennedy
Irrational barriers and ancient prejudices fall quickly when the question of survival itself is at stake.
John F. Kennedy
I am glad that Congress has recently authorized $800,000 to State welfare agencies to expand their day-care services during the remainder of this fiscal year. But we need much more. We need the $8 million in the 1965 budget for the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare allocated to this purpose.
John F. Kennedy
when my office would require me to either violate my conscience or violate the national interest, then I would resign the office and I hope any conscientious public servant would do the same.
John F. Kennedy
Wealth is the means, and people are the ends. All our material riches will avail us little if we do not use them to expand the opportunities of our people.
John F. Kennedy
Knowledge of the oceans is more than a matter of curiosity. Our very survival may hinge upon it.
John F. Kennedy
No government or social system is so evil that its people must be considered as lacking in virtue.
John F. Kennedy
[High income tax rates] not only check consumption but discourage investment and encourage...the avoidance of taxes [rather] than the production of goods.[...]Our present tax system...reduces the financial incentives for personal effort, investment, and risk-taking.
John F. Kennedy
A life of complete leisure is the hardest work of all.
John F. Kennedy
Aggressive conduct, if allowed to go unchecked and unchallenged, ultimately leads to war.
John F. Kennedy
The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.
John F. Kennedy
I think the success of any school can be measured by the contribution the alumni make to our national life.
John F. Kennedy
Most cities are nouns. New York's a verb.
John F. Kennedy
Partnership is not a posture but a process-a continuous process that grows stronger each year as we devote ourselves to common tasks.
John F. Kennedy
O God, thy sea is so great and my boat is so small.
John F. Kennedy
As far as the job of President goes, its rewarding and I've given before this group the definition of happiness for the Greeks. I'll define it again: the full use of your powers along lines of excellence. I find, therefore, that the Presidency provides some happiness.
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
Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us.
John F. Kennedy
