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.

More quotes by John F. Kennedy
While it may be theoretically possible to demonstrate the risks inherent in any treaty... the far greater risk to our security are the risks of unrestricted testing, the risks of a nuclear arms race, the risks of new nuclear powers.
John F. Kennedy
You have, at the same time, placed your confidence in me, and in my ability to render a free, fair judgment - to uphold the Constitution and my oath of office - and to reject any kind of religious pressure or obligation that might directly or indirectly interfere with my conduct of the Presidency in the national interest.
John F. Kennedy
Sometimes party loyalty asks too much.
John F. Kennedy
A nation which has forgotten the quality of courage which in the past has been brought to public life is not as likely to insist upon or regard that quality in its chosen leaders today - and in fact we have forgotten.
John F. Kennedy
Struggle for freedom. Where people are denied the right of choice, recourse to such struggle is the only means of achieving their liberties.
John F. Kennedy
Real men stay faithful. They don't have time to look for other women because they're too busy looking for new ways to love their own.
John F. Kennedy
We can have faith in the future only if we have faith in ourselves.
John F. Kennedy
Those who came before us made certain that this country rode the first waves of the industrial revolution, the first waves of modern invention and the first wave of nuclear power. And this generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming age of space. We mean to be part of it-we mean to lead it.
John F. Kennedy
Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe. The survival of our friends is in danger. And yet no war has been declared, no borders have been crossed by marching troops, no missiles have been fired.
John F. Kennedy
Let us not despair but act. Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past - let us accept our own responsibility for the future.
John F. Kennedy
I believe in a president whose religious views are his own private affair, neither imposed by him upon the nation, or imposed by the nation upon him as a condition to holding that office.
John F. Kennedy
The human mind is our fundamental resource.
John F. Kennedy
There comes a point where you see no evidence that the carrot and diplomacy are working.
John F. Kennedy
When consumers purchase more goods, plants use more of their capacity, men are hired instead of laid off, investment increases, and profits are high. Corporate tax rates must also be cut to increase incentives and the availability of investment capital.
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
[War] can no longer be of concern to great powers alone.
John F. Kennedy
We are confronted primarily with a moral issue... whether all Americans are to be afforded equal rights and equal opportunities, whether we are going to treat our fellow Americans as we want to be treated.
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
I suppose if you could have only one thing, it would be that-energy. Without it, you haven't got a thing.
John F. Kennedy
No government or social system is so evil that its people must be considered as lacking in virtue.
John F. Kennedy
