More quotes by John F. Kennedy
I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris, and I have enjoyed it.
John F. Kennedy
When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John F. Kennedy
Democracy may not be perfect, but at least I don't have to build a wall to keep my people in.
John F. Kennedy
Show me a man with a great golf game, and I’ll show you a man who has been neglecting something.
John F. Kennedy
Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.
John F. Kennedy
No man who enters upon the office to which I have succeeded can fail to recognize how every president of the United States has placed special reliance upon his faith in God.
John F. Kennedy
I will splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds.
John F. Kennedy
We have all seen these circus elephants complete with tusks, ivory in their head and thick skins, who move around the circus ring and grab the tail of the elephant ahead of them.
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
We need men who can dream of things that never were.
John F. Kennedy
Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us.
John F. Kennedy
Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all.
John F. Kennedy
No American is ever made better off by pulling a fellow American down, and all of us are made better off whenever any one of us is made better off.
John F. Kennedy
But if the life will not be easy, it will be rich and satisfying. For every young American who participates in the Peace Corps-who works in a foreign land-will know that he or she is sharing in the great common task of bringing to man that decent way of life which is the foundation of freedom and a condition of peace.
John F. Kennedy
Self-government requires qualities of self-denial and restraint.
John F. Kennedy
And so it is to the printing press--to the recorder of mans deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news-- that we look for strength and assistance, confident that with your help man will be what he was born to be: free and independent.
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
We will neglect our cities to our peril, for in neglecting them we neglect the nation.
John F. Kennedy
The Republican Party can lead any person to believe that their promises will be fulfilled in the future. They follow the Hitler line – no matter how big the lie repeat it often enough and the masses will regard it as truth.
John F. Kennedy
Don't pray for an easy life, pray to be a stronger man.
John F. Kennedy
