More quotes by John F. Kennedy
Democracy is the superior form of government, because it is based on a respect for man as a reasonable being.
John F. Kennedy
When I was growing up I had three wishes. I wanted to be a Lindbergh-type hero, learn Chinese, and become a member of The Algonquin Round Table.
John F. Kennedy
Race has no place in American life or law.
John F. Kennedy
And this Nation, for all its hopes and all its boasts, will not be fully free until all its citizens are free.
John F. Kennedy
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
We shall be judged more by what we do at home than what we preach abroad.
John F. Kennedy
[War] can no longer be of concern to great powers alone.
John F. Kennedy
The most ideal approach to advance is the way of opportunity.
John F. Kennedy
Peace does not rest in charters and covenants alone. It lies in the hearts and minds of the people.
John F. Kennedy
For I can assure you that we love our country, not for what it was, though it has always been great - not for what it is, though of this we are deeply proud - but for what it someday can, and, through the efforts of us all, someday will be.
John F. Kennedy
The great French Marshall Lyautey once asked his gardener to plant a tree. The gardner objected that the tree was slow growing and wouldn't reach maturity for 100 years. The Marshall replied, In that case, there is no time to lose plant it this afternoon!
John F. Kennedy
Since the time of the ancient Greeks, we have always felt that there was a close relationship between a strong, vital mind and physical fitness.
John F. Kennedy
I was born an American, I live like an American, I will die an American.
John F. Kennedy
The pay is good and I can walk to work.
John F. Kennedy
Political sovereignty is but a mockery without the means of meeting poverty and illiteracy and disease. Self-determination is but a slogan if the future holds no hope.
John F. Kennedy
So let us begin anew -- remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof. Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate. Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us.
John F. Kennedy
Perhaps scientists have been the most international of all professions in their outlook... Every time you scientists make a major invention, we politicians have to invent a new institution to cope with it-and almost invariably, these days, it must be an international institution.
John F. Kennedy
At the start of 2005 the idea of downloading a song to a mobile phone was an idea, by the end of the year it was a reality.
John F. Kennedy
Our deep spiritual confidence that this nation will survive the perils of today - which may well be with us for decades to come - compels us to invest in our nation's future, to consider and meet our obligations to our children and the numberless generations that will follow.
John F. Kennedy
To those whom much is given, much is expected.
John F. Kennedy
