More quotes by John F. Kennedy
Richard Cromwell was not fit to wear the mantle of his uncle.
John F. Kennedy
I look forward to a great future for America - a future in which our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purpose.
John F. Kennedy
But if the life will not be easy, it will be rich and satisfying. For every young American who participates in the Peace Corps-who works in a foreign land-will know that he or she is sharing in the great common task of bringing to man that decent way of life which is the foundation of freedom and a condition of peace.
John F. Kennedy
Most cities are nouns. New York's a verb.
John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy
Forbidden fruit tastes sweet, but its aftertaste is bitter.

John F. Kennedy
I am the one person who can truthfully say, I got my job through the New York Times.
John F. Kennedy
when my office would require me to either violate my conscience or violate the national interest, then I would resign the office and I hope any conscientious public servant would do the same.
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
Too often we... enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.
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
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
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
