More quotes by John F. Kennedy
It is not our wealth that built our roads, but it is our roads that built our wealth.
John F. Kennedy
I think the American people expect more from us than cries of indignation and attack. The times are too grave, the challenge too urgent, and the stakes too high - to permit the customary passions of political debate.
John F. Kennedy
Peace need not be impracticable, and war need not be inevitable.
John F. Kennedy
Never let your fears hold you back from pursuing your hopes.
John F. Kennedy
Sincerity is always subject to proof.
John F. Kennedy
This country cannot afford to be materially rich and spiritually poor.
John F. Kennedy
Moral courage is more a rare commodity than bravery in a battle or great intelligence.
John F. Kennedy
I can evade questions without help what I need is answers
John F. Kennedy
There is, of course, a legitimate argument for some limitation upon immigration. We no longer need settlers for virgin lands, and our economy is expanding more slowly than in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
John F. Kennedy
I believe in a president whose religious views are his own private affair, neither imposed by him upon the nation, or imposed by the nation upon him as a condition to holding that office.
John F. Kennedy
This is not the land of my birth, but it is the land for which I hold the greatest affection, and I certainly will come back in the springtime
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
What church I go to on Sunday, what dogma of the Catholic Church I believe in, is my business and whatever faith any other American has is his business.
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
I was born an American, I live like an American, I will die an American.
John F. Kennedy
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
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
I am flatly opposed to appointment of an ambassador to the Vatican. Whatever advantages it might have in Rome - and I'm not convinced of these - they would be more than offset by the divisive effect at home.
John F. Kennedy
We would like to live as we once lived, but history will not permit it.
John F. Kennedy
There is an old saying that the course of civilization is a race between catastrophe and education. In a democracy such as ours, we must make sure that education wins the race.
John F. Kennedy
