More quotes by 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
There is, in addition to a courage with which men die a courage by which men must live.
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
Whether I serve one or two terms in the Presidency, I will find myself at the end of that period at what might be called the awkward age-too old to begin a new career and too young to write my memoirs.
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
We hold the view that the people make the best judgment in the long run.
John F. Kennedy
The world has been close to war before - but now man, who has survived all previous threats to his existence, has taken into his mortal hands the power to exterminate the entire species some seven times over.
John F. Kennedy
I am the one person who can truthfully say, I got my job through the New York Times.
John F. Kennedy
You know nothing for sure...except the fact that you know nothing for sure.
John F. Kennedy
So let us begin anew - remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof
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
Libraries should be open to all - except the censor.
John F. Kennedy
One person can make a difference, and everyone should try.
John F. Kennedy
Economic growth without social progress lets the great majority of the people remain in poverty, while a privileged few reap the benefits of rising abundance.
John F. Kennedy
The complacent, the self-indulgent, the soft societies are about to be swept away with the debris of history. Only the strong, only the industrious, only the determined, only the courageous, only the visionary who determine the real nature of our struggle can possibly survive.
John F. Kennedy
Democracy is the superior form of government, because it is based on a respect for man as a reasonable being.
John F. Kennedy
Ask not what your community can do for you ask what your community can not do for anyone else.
John F. Kennedy
We had a dog who was named Pushinka, who was given to my father by a Soviet official. And we trained that dog to slide down the slide we had in the back of the White House. Sliding the dog down that slide is probably my first memory.
John F. Kennedy
The purpose of foreign policy is not to provide an outlet for our own sentiments of hope or indignation it is to shape real events in a real world.
John F. Kennedy
In addition, the United States Delegation will suggest a series of steps to improve the United Nations machinery for the peaceful settlement of disputes... - for extending the rule of international law. For peace is not solely a matter of military or technical problems - it is primarily a problem of politics and people.
John F. Kennedy
