More quotes by John F. Kennedy
Above all, we are coming to understand that the arts incarnate the creativity of a free people. When the creative impulse cannot flourish, when it cannot freely select its methods and objects, when it is deprived of spontaneity, then society severs the root of art.
John F. Kennedy
I believe in an America where religious intolerance will someday end... where every man has the same right to attend or not attend the church of his choice.
John F. Kennedy
A tax cut means higher family income and higher business profits and a balanced federal budget.
John F. Kennedy
If men and women are in chains anywhere in the world, then freedom is endangered everywhere.
John F. Kennedy
We have the power to make this the best generation of mankind in the history of the world or to make it the last.
John F. Kennedy
Peace need not be impracticable, and war need not be inevitable.
John F. Kennedy
World peace, like community peace, does not require that each man love his neighbor - it requires only that they live together with mutual tolerance, submitting their disputes to a just and peaceful settlement.
John F. Kennedy
There has also been a change - a slippage - in our intellectual and moral strength. Seven lean years of drouth and famine have withered a field of ideas.
John F. Kennedy
It might be said now that I have the best of both worlds. A Harvard education and a Yale degree.
John F. Kennedy
We are confronted primarily with a moral issue... whether all Americans are to be afforded equal rights and equal opportunities, whether we are going to treat our fellow Americans as we want to be treated.
John F. Kennedy
Someone always needs rescuing, yet there's only one person who ever seems to understand you. It's a lot like being Lassie.
John F. Kennedy
The world knows that America will never start a war. This generation of Americans has had enough of war and hate... we want to build a world of peace where the weak are secure and the strong are just.
John F. Kennedy
The science of weapons and war has made us all one world and one human race with one common destiny.
John F. Kennedy
To be courageous requires no exceptional qualifications, no magic formula, no special combination of time, place, and circumstance. It is an opportunity that sooner or later is presented to us all.
John F. Kennedy
I believe in a president whose religious views are his own private affair, neither imposed by him upon the nation, or imposed by the nation upon him as a condition to holding that office.
John F. Kennedy
It is insane that two men, sitting on opposite sides of the world, should be able to decide to bring an end to civilization.
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
Nearly forty years ago, a distinguished Prime Minister of this country ... said, 'They may not be angels but they are at least our friends.'* I must say that I do not think that we probably demonstrated in that forty years that we are angels yet, but I hope we have demonstrated that we are at least friends.
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
Above all, we are coming to understand that the arts incarnate the creativity of a free people.
