More quotes by John F. Kennedy
Democracy is the superior form of government, because it is based on a respect for man as a reasonable being.
John F. Kennedy
By the age of six the average child will have completed the basic American education.... From television, the child will have learned how to pick a lock, commit a fairly elaborate bank holdup, prevent wetness all day long, get the laundry twice as white, and kill people with a variety of sophisticated armaments.
John F. Kennedy
Events of October 1962 indicated, as they had all through history, that control of the sea means security. Control of the seas can mean peace. Control of the seas can mean victory. The United States must control the seas if it is to protect your security.
John F. Kennedy
I am glad that Congress has recently authorized $800,000 to State welfare agencies to expand their day-care services during the remainder of this fiscal year. But we need much more. We need the $8 million in the 1965 budget for the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare allocated to this purpose.
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
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
[High income tax rates] not only check consumption but discourage investment and encourage...the avoidance of taxes [rather] than the production of goods.[...]Our present tax system...reduces the financial incentives for personal effort, investment, and risk-taking.
John F. Kennedy
Everywhere immigrants have enriched and strengthened the fabric of American life.
John F. Kennedy
If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.
John F. Kennedy
We hold the view that the people make the best judgment in the long run.
John F. Kennedy
Nearly forty years ago, a distinguished Prime Minister of this country ... said, 'They may not be angels but they are at least our friends.'* I must say that I do not think that we probably demonstrated in that forty years that we are angels yet, but I hope we have demonstrated that we are at least friends.
John F. Kennedy
No sane society chooses to commit national suicide.
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
The United States, as the world knows, will never start a war.
John F. Kennedy
The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word 'crisis.' One brush stroke stands for danger the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger--but recognize the opportunity.
John F. Kennedy
Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all.
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
I believe in an America ... where no public official either requests or accepts instructions on public policy from the Pope, the National Council of Churches, or any other ecclesiastical source.
John F. Kennedy
We need men who can dream of things that never were.
John F. Kennedy
Those who do nothing are inviting shame as well as violence. Those who act boldly are recognizing right as well as reality.
