Khrushchev reminds me of the tiger hunter who has picked a place on the wall to hang the tiger's skin long before he has caught the tiger. This tiger has other ideas.
John F. Kennedy
I would rather be accused of breaking precedents than breaking promises.
John F. Kennedy
Members of the Congress, the Constitution makes us not rivals for power but partners for progress. We are all trustees for the American people, custodians of the American heritage. It is my task to report the State of the Union--to improve it is the task of us all.
John F. Kennedy
Art establishes the basic human truths which must serve as the touchstone of our judgement.
