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.

More quotes by John F. Kennedy
Here on earth, God's work must surely be our own.
John F. Kennedy
There is always inequity in life. Some men are killed in war and some men are wounded some men never leave the country, some men are stationed in the Antarctic and some are stationed in San Francisco. It's very hard in military or in personal life to assure complete equality. Life is unfair.
John F. Kennedy
The world knows that America will never start a war. This generation of Americans has had enough of war and hate... we want to build a world of peace where the weak are secure and the strong are just.
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
Success has many fathers.
John F. Kennedy
The Jewish people, ever since David slew Goliath, have never considered youth as a barrier to leadership.
John F. Kennedy
Freedom is indivisible, and when one man is enslaved, all are not free.
John F. Kennedy
Let us welcome controversial books and controversial authors.
John F. Kennedy
I am glad that Congress has recently authorized $800,000 to State welfare agencies to expand their day-care services during the remainder of this fiscal year. But we need much more. We need the $8 million in the 1965 budget for the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare allocated to this purpose.
John F. Kennedy
A country is as strong, really, as its citizens. And I think that mental and physical health - mental and physical vigor - go hand in hand.
John F. Kennedy
For without belittling the courage with which men have died, we should not forget those acts of courage with which men have lived.
John F. Kennedy
Each increase of tension has produced an increase of arms each increase of arms has produced an increase of tension.
John F. Kennedy
Peace does not rest in charters and covenants alone. It lies in the hearts and minds of the people.
John F. Kennedy
Now we have a problem in making our power credible, and Vietnam is the place.
John F. Kennedy
Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us.
John F. Kennedy
The farmer is the only man in our economy who buys everything at retail, sells everything at wholesale, and pays the freight both ways.
John F. Kennedy
To those whom much is given, much is expected.
John F. Kennedy
And only the very courageous will be able to keep alive the spirit of individualism and dissent which gave birth to this nation, nourished it as an infant, and carried it through its severest tests upon the attainment of its maturity.
John F. Kennedy
At the start of 2005 the idea of downloading a song to a mobile phone was an idea, by the end of the year it was a reality.
John F. Kennedy
Not everyone has equal abilities, but everyone should have equal opportunity for education.
John F. Kennedy
