Democracy may not be perfect, but at least I don't have to build a wall to keep my people in.
John F. Kennedy
Image
And so it is to the printing press--to the recorder of mans deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news-- that we look for strength and assistance, confident that with your help man will be what he was born to be: free and independent.
John F. Kennedy
Image
Science contributes to our culture in many ways, as a creative intellectual activity in its own right, as the light which has served to illuminate man's place in the universe, and as the source of understanding of man's own nature.
John F. Kennedy
Image
We must face the fact that the United States is neither omnipotent nor omniscient, that we cannot impose our will upon the other 94 percent of mankind, that we cannot right every wrong or reverse every adversity, and that therefore there cannot be an American solution to every world problem.
John F. Kennedy
Image
The processes of growth are gradual, bearing fruit in a decade, not a day.
John F. Kennedy
Image
And this Nation, for all its hopes and all its boasts, will not be fully free until all its citizens are free.
John F. Kennedy
Image
My experience in government is that when things are non-controversial and beautifully coordinated, there is not much going on.
John F. Kennedy
Image
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
Image
I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute - where no Catholic prelate would tell the president (should he be Catholic) how to act. I do not speak for my church on public matters - and the church does not speak for me.
John F. Kennedy
Image
I am the one person who can truthfully say, I got my job through the New York Times.
John F. Kennedy
Image
It might be said now that I have the best of both worlds. A Harvard education and a Yale degree.
John F. Kennedy
Image
Democracy is never a final achievement. It is a call to an untiring effort.
John F. Kennedy
Image
No sane society chooses to commit national suicide.
John F. Kennedy
Image
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
Image
Abroad, the balance of power is shifting. There are new and more terrible weapons - new and uncertain nations - new pressures of population and deprivation.
John F. Kennedy
Image
Whether I serve one or two terms in the Presidency, I will find myself at the end of that period at what might be called the awkward age-too old to begin a new career and too young to write my memoirs.
John F. Kennedy
Image
An economy hampered by restrictive tax rates will never produce enough jobs or enough profits
John F. Kennedy
Image
I know my Republican friends were glad to see my wife feeding an elephant in India. She gave him sugar and nuts. But of course the elephant wasn't satisfied.
John F. Kennedy
Image
Time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life.
John F. Kennedy
Image
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
