More quotes by John F. Kennedy
There has also been a change - a slippage - in our intellectual and moral strength. Seven lean years of drouth and famine have withered a field of ideas.
John F. Kennedy
Once you say you're going to settle for second, that's what happens to you in life.
John F. Kennedy
My brother Bob doesn't want to be in government - he promised Dad he'd go straight.
John F. Kennedy
Richard Cromwell was not fit to wear the mantle of his uncle.
John F. Kennedy
Each success brings with it the potential of failure and each failure brings with it the potential of success.
John F. Kennedy
The function and responsibility of the President is to set before the American people the unfinished business, the things we must do if we are going to succeed as a nation.
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

John F. Kennedy
Not everyone has equal abilities, but everyone should have equal opportunity for education.
John F. Kennedy
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
Dont teach my boy poetry, an English mother recently wrote the Provost of Harrow. Dont teach my boy poetry he is going to stand for Parliament.

John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy
I do not speak for my church on public matters and the church does not speak for me.
John F. Kennedy
No government or social system is so evil that its people must be considered as lacking in virtue.
John F. Kennedy
I also want to take cognizance of the fact that this flight was made out in the open with all the possibilities of failure, which would have been damaging to our country's prestige. Because great risks were taken in that regard, it seems to me that we have some right to claim that this open society of ours which risked much, gained much.
John F. Kennedy
Self-government requires qualities of self-denial and restraint.
John F. Kennedy
Political action is the highest responsibility of a citizen.
John F. Kennedy
So let us begin anew -- remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate. Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us.
John F. Kennedy
Do you realize the responsibility I carry? I'm the only person standing between Richard Nixon and the White House.
John F. Kennedy
When I was growing up I had three wishes. I wanted to be a Lindbergh-type hero, learn Chinese, and become a member of The Algonquin Round Table.
John F. Kennedy
