We had a dog who was named Pushinka, who was given to my father by a Soviet official. And we trained that dog to slide down the slide we had in the back of the White House. Sliding the dog down that slide is probably my first memory.

More quotes by John F. Kennedy
The weapons of war must be abolished before they abolish us.
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.

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.

Never let your fears hold you back from pursuing your hopes.
John F. Kennedy
Where nature makes natural allies of us all, we can demonstrate that beneficial relations are possible even with those with whom we most deeply disagree-and this must someday be the basis of world peace and world law.
John F. Kennedy
Self-government requires qualities of self-denial and restraint.
John F. Kennedy
Our growing softness, our increasing lack of physical fitness, is a menace to our security.
John F. Kennedy
I want every American to be free to stand up for his rights, even if sometimes he has to sit down for them.
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
Aggressive conduct, if allowed to go unchecked and unchallenged, ultimately leads to war.
John F. Kennedy
Those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside
John F. Kennedy
We would like to live as we once lived, but history will not permit it.
John F. Kennedy
Modern cynics and skeptics... see no harm in paying those to whom they entrust the minds of their children a smaller wage than is paid to those to whom they entrust the care of their plumbing.
John F. Kennedy
