John F. Kennedy
It's only when they join together in a forward movement that this country moves ahead.
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.

John F. Kennedy
I do not speak for my church on public matters and the church does not speak for me.
John F. Kennedy
The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.
John F. Kennedy
And this Nation, for all its hopes and all its boasts, will not be fully free until all its citizens are free.
John F. Kennedy
Ask not that the journey be easy ask instead that it be worth it.
John F. Kennedy
The best road to progress is freedom's road.
John F. Kennedy
We can have faith in the future only if we have faith in ourselves.
John F. Kennedy
The science of weapons and war has made us all one world and one human race with one common destiny.
John F. Kennedy
Most cities are nouns. New York's a verb.
John F. Kennedy
Political sovereignty is but a mockery without the means of meeting poverty and illiteracy and disease. Self-determination is but a slogan if the future holds no hope.
John F. Kennedy
The world was not meant to be a prison in which man awaits his execution.
John F. Kennedy
