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.

More quotes by John F. Kennedy
Not everyone has equal abilities, but everyone should have equal opportunity for education.
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
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
I would not look with favor upon a President working to subvert the First Amendment's guarantees of religious liberty ... Neither do I look with favor upon those who would work to subvert Article VI of the Constitution by requiring a religious test - even by indirection.
John F. Kennedy
Economic growth without social progress lets the great majority of the people remain in poverty, while a privileged few reap the benefits of rising abundance.
John F. Kennedy
The wave of the future is not the conquest of the world by a single dogmatic creed but the liberation of the diverse energies of free nations and free men.
John F. Kennedy
The weapons of war must be abolished before they abolish us.
John F. Kennedy
No sane society chooses to commit national suicide.
John F. Kennedy
Let us not despair but act. Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past - let us accept our own responsibility for the future.
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
Immigration policy should be generous it should be fair it should be flexible. With such a policy we can turn to the world, and to our own past, with clean hands and a clear conscience.
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
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
Neither smiles nor frowns, neither good intentions nor harsh words, are a substitute for strength.
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
And so it is to the printing press--to the recorder of mans deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news-- that we look for strength and assistance, confident that with your help man will be what he was born to be: free and independent.
John F. Kennedy
Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave.
John F. Kennedy
To those whom much is given, much is expected.
John F. Kennedy
I think the American people expect more from us than cries of indignation and attack. The times are too grave, the challenge too urgent, and the stakes too high - to permit the customary passions of political debate.
John F. Kennedy
Don't pray for an easy life, pray to be a stronger man.
John F. Kennedy
