More quotes by John F. Kennedy
Philanthropy, charity, giving voluntarily and freely... call it what you like, but it is truly a jewel of an American tradition.
John F. Kennedy
In a time of domestic crisis, men of goodwill and generosity should be able to unite regardless of party or politics.
John F. Kennedy
The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.
John F. Kennedy
Peaceful circulation has been interupted by barbed wire and concrete blocks. For a city or a people to be truly free, they must have the secure right, without economic, political or police pressure, to make their own choices and live their own lives.
John F. Kennedy
Man will be what he was born to be: free and independent.
John F. Kennedy
Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe. The survival of our friends is in danger. And yet no war has been declared, no borders have been crossed by marching troops, no missiles have been fired.
John F. Kennedy
My experience in government is that when things are non-controversial and beautifully coordinated, there is not much going on.
John F. Kennedy
My fellow Americans, let us take that first step. Let us...step back from the shadow of war and seek out the way of peace. And if that journey is a thousand miles, or even more, let history record that we, in this land, at this time, took the first step.
John F. Kennedy
History will not judge our endeavors--and a government cannot be selected--merely on the basis of color or creed or even party affiliation. Neither will competence and loyalty and stature, while essential to the utmost, suffice in times such as these.
John F. Kennedy
Every president has taken comfort and courage when told...that the Lord will be with thee. He will not fail thee nor forsake thee. Fear not-neither be thou dismayed.
John F. Kennedy
First I believe that this Nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon.
John F. Kennedy
Libraries should be open to all - except the censor.
John F. Kennedy
I do not speak for my church on public matters and the church does not speak for me.
John F. Kennedy
Democracy is never a final achievement. It is a call to an untiring effort.
John F. Kennedy
I know there is a God - I see the storm coming and I see his hand in it - if he has a place then I am ready - we see the hand.
John F. Kennedy
The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.
John F. Kennedy
The problem of power is how to achieve its responsible use rather than its irresponsible and indulgent use of how to get men of power to live for the public rather than off the public.
John F. Kennedy
There is, in addition to a courage with which men die a courage by which men must live.
John F. Kennedy
Any danger spot is tenable if men, brave men, will make it so.
John F. Kennedy
No government or social system is so evil that its people must be considered as lacking in virtue.
John F. Kennedy
