More quotes by John F. Kennedy
I look forward to an America which will not be afraid of grace and beauty, which will protect the beauty of our natural environment, which will preserve the great old American houses and squares and parks of our national past and which will build handsome and balanced cities for our future.
John F. Kennedy
The fact that we live in a world that moves crisis by crisis does not make a growing interest in outdoor activities frivolous, or ample provision for them unworthy of the nation's concern.
John F. Kennedy
I am not the Catholic candidate for President. I am the Democratic Party's candidate for President, who happens also to be a Catholic.
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
If anyone is crazy enough to want to kill a president of the United States, he can do it. All he must be prepared to do is give his life for the president's.
John F. Kennedy
I don't think the intelligence reports are all that hot. Some days I get more out of the New York Times.
John F. Kennedy
We will neglect our cities to our peril, for in neglecting them we neglect the nation.
John F. Kennedy
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
The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all.
John F. Kennedy
The first man-made satellite to orbit the earth was named Sputnik. The first living creature in space was Laika. The first rocket to the Moon carried a red flag. The first photograph of the far side of the Moon was made with a Soviet camera. If a man orbits the earth this year his name will be Ivan.
John F. Kennedy
There are no 'white' or 'coloured' signs on the foxholes or graveyards of battle.
John F. Kennedy
My experience in government is that when things are non-controversial and beautifully coordinated, there is not much going on.
John F. Kennedy
An economy hampered by restrictive tax rates will never produce enough jobs or enough profits
John F. Kennedy
The mere absence of war is not peace.
John F. Kennedy
Diplomacy and defense are not substitutes for one another. Either alone would fail.
John F. Kennedy
The best road to progress is freedom's road.
John F. Kennedy
If this nation is to be wise as well as strong, if we are to achieve our destiny, then we need more new ideas for more wise men reading more good books in more public libraries.
John F. Kennedy
The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society. ... There is little value in ensuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it.
John F. Kennedy
I will splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds.
John F. Kennedy
The world has been close to war before - but now man, who has survived all previous threats to his existence, has taken into his mortal hands the power to exterminate the entire species some seven times over.
John F. Kennedy
