John F. Kennedy
The mere absence of war is not peace.
John F. Kennedy
Whether I serve one or two terms in the Presidency, I will find myself at the end of that period at what might be called the awkward age-too old to begin a new career and too young to write my memoirs.
John F. Kennedy
Last year, more Americans went to symphonies than went to baseball games. This may be viewed as an alarming statistic, but I think that both baseball and the country will endure.
John F. Kennedy
We will neglect our cities to our peril, for in neglecting them we neglect the nation.

John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy
We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values.
John F. Kennedy
I am the one person who can truthfully say, I got my job through the New York Times.
John F. Kennedy
Budget deficits are not caused by wild-eyed spenders, but by slow economic growth and periodic recessions. And any new recession would break all deficit records. In short, it is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high today and tax revenues are too low, and the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now.
John F. Kennedy
In a world of danger and trial, peace is our deepest aspiration.
John F. Kennedy
Libraries should be open to all - except the censor. [Response to questionnaire in Saturday Review, October 29 1960]
John F. Kennedy
Everything changes but change itself.
John F. Kennedy
For without belittling the courage with which men have died, we should not forget those acts of courage with which men have lived.
John F. Kennedy
For if Freedom and Communism were to compete for mans allegiance in a world at peace, I would look to the future with ever increasing confidence.
John F. Kennedy
