John F. Kennedy
Be aware of danger-but recognize the opportunity
John F. Kennedy
The best road to progress is freedom's road.
John F. Kennedy
Acting on our own, by ourselves, we cannot establish justice throughout the world, but joined with other free nations, we can ... assist the developing nations to throw off the yoke of poverty.
John F. Kennedy
A child miseducated is a child lost.
John F. Kennedy
When consumers purchase more goods, plants use more of their capacity, men are hired instead of laid off, investment increases, and profits are high. Corporate tax rates must also be cut to increase incentives and the availability of investment capital.
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
I was born an American, I live like an American, I will die an American.
John F. Kennedy
