More quotes by John F. Kennedy
Failure has no friends.
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
Not everyone has equal abilities, but everyone should have equal opportunity for education.
John F. Kennedy
Those who do nothing are inviting shame as well as violence. Those who act boldly are recognizing right as well as reality.
John F. Kennedy
The men who create power make an indispensable contribution to the nation's greatness. But the men who question power make a contribution just as indispensable for they determine whether we use power or power uses us.
John F. Kennedy
Forbidden fruit tastes sweet, but its aftertaste is bitter.
John F. Kennedy
Privilege is here, and with privilege goes responsibility.
John F. Kennedy
The world was not meant to be a prison in which man awaits his execution.
John F. Kennedy
A tax cut means higher family income and higher business profits and a balanced federal budget.
John F. Kennedy
The fact that we live in a world that moves crisis by crisis does not make a growing interest in outdoor activities frivolous, or ample provision for them unworthy of the nation's concern.
John F. Kennedy
It is an unfortunate fact that we can secure peace only by preparing for war.
John F. Kennedy
Last year, more Americans went to symphonies than went to baseball games. This may be viewed as an alarming statistic, but I think that both baseball and the country will endure.
John F. Kennedy
One person can make a difference, and everyone should try.
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
I will splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds.
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
Budget deficits are not caused by wild-eyed spenders, but by slow economic growth and periodic recessions. And any new recession would break all deficit records. In short, it is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high today and tax revenues are too low, and the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now.
John F. Kennedy
[War] can no longer be of concern to great powers alone.
John F. Kennedy
The human mind is our fundamental resource.
John F. Kennedy
Communism has never come to power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both.
John F. Kennedy
