Nearly forty years ago, a distinguished Prime Minister of this country ... said, 'They may not be angels but they are at least our friends.'* I must say that I do not think that we probably demonstrated in that forty years that we are angels yet, but I hope we have demonstrated that we are at least friends.
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
I believe in an America where religious intolerance will someday end... where every man has the same right to attend or not attend the church of his choice.
John F. Kennedy
We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes.
John F. Kennedy
A rising tide (in the economy) lifts all boats.
