John F. Kennedy
I have said that control of arms is a mission that we undertake particularly for our children and our grandchildren and that they have no lobby in Washington.
John F. Kennedy
There can be no progress if people have no faith in tomorrow.
John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy
The new and terrible dangers which man has created can only be controlled by man.
John F. Kennedy
When consumers purchase more goods, plants use more of their capacity, men are hired instead of laid off, investment increases, and profits are high. Corporate tax rates must also be cut to increase incentives and the availability of investment capital.
John F. Kennedy
All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin. And therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words 'Ich bin ein Berliner!'
