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

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
If we are strong, our strength will speak for itself. If we are weak, words will be of no help.
John F. Kennedy
I can't see that it's wrong to give him a little legal experience before he goes out to practice law.
John F. Kennedy
Whether they be young in spirit, or young in age, the members of the Democratic Party must never lose that youthful zest for new ideas and for a better world, which has made us great.
John F. Kennedy
A life of complete leisure is the hardest work of all.
John F. Kennedy
I look forward to an America which will not be afraid of grace and beauty, which will protect the beauty of our natural environment, which will preserve the great old American houses and squares and parks of our national past and which will build handsome and balanced cities for our future.
John F. Kennedy
Any danger spot is tenable if men, brave men, will make it so.
John F. Kennedy
