More quotes by 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
Those who came before us made certain that this country rode the first waves of the industrial revolution, the first waves of modern invention and the first wave of nuclear power. And this generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming age of space. We mean to be part of it-we mean to lead it.
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
Ask not what your community can do for you ask what your community can not do for anyone else.
John F. Kennedy
The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all.
John F. Kennedy
If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.
John F. Kennedy
We must face the fact that the United States is neither omnipotent nor omniscient, that we cannot impose our will upon the other 94 percent of mankind, that we cannot right every wrong or reverse every adversity, and that therefore there cannot be an American solution to every world problem.
John F. Kennedy
I am fully aware of the fact that the Democratic Party, by nominating someone of my faith, has taken on what many regard as a new and hazardous risk.
John F. Kennedy
Where nature makes natural allies of us all, we can demonstrate that beneficial relations are possible even with those with whom we most deeply disagree-and this must someday be the basis of world peace and world law.
John F. Kennedy
In serving his vision of the truth, the artist best serves his nation.
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
Wealth is the means, and people are the ends. All our material riches will avail us little if we do not use them to expand the opportunities of our people.
John F. Kennedy
Race has no place in American life or law.
John F. Kennedy
The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word 'crisis.' One brush stroke stands for danger the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger--but recognize the opportunity.
John F. Kennedy
This is not the land of my birth, but it is the land for which I hold the greatest affection, and I certainly will come back in the springtime
John F. Kennedy
There is something that happens when we leave the land and enter the ocean. It's unexpected, the environment feels strangely welcoming. The ocean almost feels like... home.
John F. Kennedy
Dont teach my boy poetry, an English mother recently wrote the Provost of Harrow. Dont teach my boy poetry he is going to stand for Parliament. Well, perhaps she was rightbut if more politicians knew poetry, and more poets knew politics, I am convinced the world would be a little better place to live on this Commencement Day of 1956.
John F. Kennedy
The basis of effective government is public confidence, and that confidence is endangered when ethical standards falter or appear to falter.
John F. Kennedy
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
Democracy is never a final achievement. It is a call to an untiring effort.
John F. Kennedy
