More quotes by John F. Kennedy
Our children and grandchildren are not merely statistics towards which we can be indifferent.
John F. Kennedy
There are those who regard this history of past strife and exile as better forgotten. But, to use the phrase of Yeats, let us not casually reduce that great past to a trouble of fools. For we need not feel the bitterness of the past to discover its meaning for the present and the future.
John F. Kennedy
I look forward to an america in which commands respect throughout the world, not only for its strength, but for its civilization as well. And I look forward to a world in which we will be safe not only for democracy and diversity but also for personal distinction.
John F. Kennedy
There is a terrific disadvantage in not having the abrasive quality of the press applied to you daily. Even though we never like it, and even though we wish they didn't write it, and even though we disapprove, there isn't any doubt that we could not do the job at all in a free society without a very, very active press.
John F. Kennedy
Now the trumpet summons us again - not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need not as a call to battle, though embattled we are but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, 'rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation', a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself.
John F. Kennedy
If we are to go only halfway or reduce our sights in the face of difficulty... it would be better to not go at all.
John F. Kennedy
The greater our knowledge increases the more our ignorance unfolds.
John F. Kennedy
We prefer world law in the age of self-determination to world war in the age of mass extermination.
John F. Kennedy
Race has no place in American life or law.
John F. Kennedy
Show me a man with a great golf game, and I’ll show you a man who has been neglecting something.
John F. Kennedy
The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word 'crisis.' One brush stroke stands for danger the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger--but recognize the opportunity.
John F. Kennedy
Freedom is indivisible, and when one man is enslaved, all are not free.
John F. Kennedy
But if the life will not be easy, it will be rich and satisfying. For every young American who participates in the Peace Corps-who works in a foreign land-will know that he or she is sharing in the great common task of bringing to man that decent way of life which is the foundation of freedom and a condition of 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
I am fully aware of the fact that the Democratic Party, by nominating someone of my faith, has taken on what many regard as a new and hazardous risk.
John F. Kennedy
There is always inequality in life. Some men are killed in a war and some men are wounded and some men never leave the country. Life is unfair.
John F. Kennedy
A life of complete leisure is the hardest work of all.
John F. Kennedy
Each success brings with it the potential of failure and each failure brings with it the potential of success.
John F. Kennedy
Foreign aid is a method by which the United States maintains a position of influence and control around the world
John F. Kennedy
I look forward to an America which will not be afraid of grace and beauty.
John F. Kennedy
