More quotes by John F. Kennedy
A child miseducated is a child lost.
John F. Kennedy
I look forward to an America which will not be afraid of grace and beauty...an America which will reward achievement in the arts as we reward achievement in business or statecraft.
John F. Kennedy
The mere absence of war is not peace.
John F. Kennedy
To each of us is entrusted the heavy responsibility of guiding the affairs of a democratic nation founded on Christian ideals.
John F. Kennedy
A tax cut means higher family income and higher business profits and a balanced federal budget.
John F. Kennedy
I would rather be accused of breaking precedents than breaking promises.
John F. Kennedy
If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.
John F. Kennedy
It is insane that two men, sitting on opposite sides of the world, should be able to decide to bring an end to civilization.
John F. Kennedy
Here on earth, God's work must surely be our own.
John F. Kennedy
For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe -- the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.
John F. Kennedy
Our growing softness, our increasing lack of physical fitness, is a menace to our security.
John F. Kennedy
The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.
John F. Kennedy
And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.
John F. Kennedy
If this nation is to be wise as well as strong, if we are to achieve our destiny, then we need more new ideas for more wise men reading more good books in more public libraries.
John F. Kennedy
Those [presidents] who were strongest intellectually were also strongest spiritually.
John F. Kennedy
And is not peace, in the last analysis, basically a matter of human rights -- the right to live out our lives without fear of devastation – the right to breathe air as nature provided it -- the right of future generations to a healthy existence? (John F. Kennedy, June 10, 1963, American University speech)
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
A boy spends his time finding a girl to sleep with. A real man spends his time looking for the one worth waking up to.
John F. Kennedy
Peace need not be impracticable, and war need not be inevitable.
John F. Kennedy
Above all, we are coming to understand that the arts incarnate the creativity of a free people. When the creative impulse cannot flourish, when it cannot freely select its methods and objects, when it is deprived of spontaneity, then society severs the root of art.
John F. Kennedy
