More quotes by 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
Be strong and of good courage be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed.
John F. Kennedy
Should I become President...I will not risk American lives...by permitting any other nation to drag us into the wrong war at the wrong place at the wrong time through an unwise commitment that is unwise militarily, unnecessary to our security and unsupported by our allies.
John F. Kennedy
I can evade questions without help what I need is answers
John F. Kennedy
The great free nations of the world must take control of our monetary problems if these problems are not to take control of us.
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
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
Every dollar released from taxation that is spared or invested will help create a new job and a new salary.
John F. Kennedy
Above all, we are coming to understand that the arts incarnate the creativity of a free people. When the creative impulse cannot flourish, when it cannot freely select its methods and objects, when it is deprived of spontaneity, then society severs the root of art.
John F. Kennedy
If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
John F. Kennedy
Sincerity is always subject to proof.
John F. Kennedy
[War] can no longer be of concern to great powers alone.
John F. Kennedy
I look forward to an America which will not be afraid of grace and beauty.
John F. Kennedy
Those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside
John F. Kennedy
Political sovereignty is but a mockery without the means of meeting poverty and illiteracy and disease. Self-determination is but a slogan if the future holds no hope.
John F. Kennedy
For I can assure you that we love our country, not for what it was, though it has always been great - not for what it is, though of this we are deeply proud - but for what it someday can, and, through the efforts of us all, someday will be.
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 not our wealth that built our roads, but it is our roads that built our wealth.
John F. Kennedy
We dare not forget that we are the heirs of that first revolution.
John F. Kennedy
If I had to live my life over again, I would have a different father, a different wife and a different religion.
John F. Kennedy
