More quotes by John F. Kennedy
This country was founded by men and women who were dedicated or came to be dedicated to two propositions first, a strong religious conviction, and secondly a recognition that this conviction could flourish only under a system of freedom.
John F. Kennedy
When asked what I am most proud of, I stick out my chest, hold my head high and state proudly, 'I served in the United States Navy!'
John F. Kennedy
In addition, the United States Delegation will suggest a series of steps to improve the United Nations machinery for the peaceful settlement of disputes... - for extending the rule of international law. For peace is not solely a matter of military or technical problems - it is primarily a problem of politics and people.
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
The new and terrible dangers which man has created can only be controlled by man.
John F. Kennedy
A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.
John F. Kennedy
We hold the view that the people make the best judgment in the long run.
John F. Kennedy
We believe that if men have the talent to invent new machines that put men out of work, they have the talent to put those men back to work.
John F. Kennedy
I look forward to an America which will not be afraid of grace and beauty.
John F. Kennedy
But however close we sometimes seem to that dark and final abyss, let no man of peace and freedom despair. For he does not stand alone.
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
There can be no progress if people have no faith in tomorrow.
John F. Kennedy
Effort and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.
John F. Kennedy
You know nothing for sure...except the fact that you know nothing for sure.
John F. Kennedy
Each increase of tension has produced an increase of arms each increase of arms has produced an increase of tension.
John F. Kennedy
History will not judge our endeavors--and a government cannot be selected--merely on the basis of color or creed or even party affiliation. Neither will competence and loyalty and stature, while essential to the utmost, suffice in times such as these.
John F. Kennedy
Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. Our requirements for world leadership, our hopes for economic growth, and the demands of citizenship itself in an era such as this all require the maximum development of every young American's capacity. The human mind is our fundamental resource.
John F. Kennedy
Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.
John F. Kennedy
There comes a point where you see no evidence that the carrot and diplomacy are working.
John F. Kennedy
The problem of power is how to achieve its responsible use rather than its irresponsible and indulgent use of how to get men of power to live for the public rather than off the public.
John F. Kennedy
