More quotes by John F. Kennedy
The fact that we live in a world that moves crisis by crisis does not make a growing interest in outdoor activities frivolous, or ample provision for them unworthy of the nation's concern.
John F. Kennedy
I will splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds.
John F. Kennedy
I suppose if you could have only one thing, it would be that-energy. Without it, you haven't got a thing.
John F. Kennedy
The world knows that America will never start a war. This generation of Americans has had enough of war and hate... we want to build a world of peace where the weak are secure and the strong are just.
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
A child miseducated is a child lost.
John F. Kennedy
We are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence — on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day
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
Foreign aid is a method by which the United States maintains a position of influence and control around the world
John F. Kennedy
An economy hampered by restrictive tax rates will never produce enough jobs or enough profits
John F. Kennedy
Immigration policy should be generous it should be fair it should be flexible. With such a policy we can turn to the world, and to our own past, with clean hands and a clear conscience.
John F. Kennedy
I see no magic in tax dollars which are sent to Washington and then returned. I abhor the waste and incompetence of large-scale federal bureaucracies in this administration as well as in others. I do not favor state compulsion when voluntary individual effort can do the job and do it well.
John F. Kennedy
Any danger spot is tenable if men, brave men, will make it so.
John F. Kennedy
Libraries should be open to all - except the censor.
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
Peaceful circulation has been interupted by barbed wire and concrete blocks. For a city or a people to be truly free, they must have the secure right, without economic, political or police pressure, to make their own choices and live their own lives.
John F. Kennedy
Our growing softness, our increasing lack of physical fitness, is a menace to our security.
John F. Kennedy
My call is not to those who believe they belong to the past. My call is to those who believe in the future.
John F. Kennedy
Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man
John F. Kennedy
If we could ever competitively, at a cheap rate, get fresh water from saltwater, ..(this) would be in the long-range interests of humanity which could really dwarf any other scientific accomplishments.
John F. Kennedy
