More quotes by John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy
We would like to live as we once lived, but history will not permit it.
John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy
There is, in addition to a courage with which men die a courage by which men must live.
John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy
Libraries should be open to all - except the censor.

John F. Kennedy
History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.
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
The men who create power make an indispensable contribution to the nation's greatness. But the men who question power make a contribution just as indispensable for they determine whether we use power or power uses us.
John F. Kennedy
The Jewish people, ever since David slew Goliath, have never considered youth as a barrier to leadership.
John F. Kennedy
No one has been barred on account of his race from fighting or dying for America, there are no white or colored signs on the foxholes or graveyards of battle.
John F. Kennedy
The world was not meant to be a prison in which man awaits his execution.
John F. Kennedy
... the Athenian lawmaker Solon decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy.
John F. Kennedy
Communism has never come to power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both.
John F. Kennedy
