We cannot reform the world.... Uncle Sugar is as dangerous a role for us to play as Uncle Shylock.
John F. Kennedy
Image
Those who do nothing are inviting shame as well as violence. Those who act boldly are recognizing right as well as reality.

History will not judge our endeavors--and a government cannot be selected--merely on the basis of color or creed or even party affiliation. Neither will competence and loyalty and stature, while essential to the utmost, suffice in times such as these.
John F. Kennedy
Image
There is always inequality in life. Some men are killed in a war and some men are wounded and some men never leave the country. Life is unfair.

Image
The American, by nature, is optimistic. He is experimental, an inventor and a builder who builds best when called upon to build greatly.
John F. Kennedy
Image
For if Freedom and Communism were to compete for mans allegiance in a world at peace, I would look to the future with ever increasing confidence.
John F. Kennedy
Image
I hear it said that West Berlin is militarily untenable - and so was Bastogne, and so, in fact, was Stalingrad. Any danger spot is tenable if men - brave men - will make it so.
John F. Kennedy
Image
Science contributes to our culture in many ways, as a creative intellectual activity in its own right, as the light which has served to illuminate man's place in the universe, and as the source of understanding of man's own nature.
John F. Kennedy
Image
Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave.
John F. Kennedy
Image
In seeking the help of the Congress and our countrymen, I pledged no easy answers. I pledged, and asked, only toil and dedication. These the Congress and the people have given in good measure.
John F. Kennedy
Image
We dare not forget that we are the heirs of that first revolution.
John F. Kennedy
Image
My fellow Americans, let us take that first step. Let us...step back from the shadow of war and seek out the way of peace. And if that journey is a thousand miles, or even more, let history record that we, in this land, at this time, took the first step.
John F. Kennedy

Time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life.
John F. Kennedy
Image
All over the world, particularly in the newer nations, young men are coming to power--men who are not bound by the traditions of the past--men who are not blinded by the old fears and hates and rivalries-- young men who can cast off the old slogans and delusions and suspicions.

If we are strong, our strength will speak for itself. If we are weak, words will be of no help.
