More quotes by John F. Kennedy
Real men stay faithful. They don't have time to look for other women because they're too busy looking for new ways to love their own.
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
An economy hampered by restrictive tax rates will never produce enough jobs or enough profits
John F. Kennedy
Most cities are nouns. New York's a verb.
John F. Kennedy
Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe. The survival of our friends is in danger. And yet no war has been declared, no borders have been crossed by marching troops, no missiles have been fired.
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
Remember that our nation's first great leaders were also our first great scholars.
John F. Kennedy
Privilege is here, and with privilege goes responsibility.
John F. Kennedy
Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. Our requirements for world leadership, our hopes for economic growth, and the demands of citizenship itself in an era such as this all require the maximum development of every young American's capacity. The human mind is our fundamental resource.
John F. Kennedy
Democracy is never a final achievement. It is a call to an untiring effort.
John F. Kennedy
We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes.
John F. Kennedy
In serving his vision of the truth, the artist best serves his nation.
John F. Kennedy
There are no 'white' or 'coloured' signs on the foxholes or graveyards of battle.
John F. Kennedy
In a time of domestic crisis, men of goodwill and generosity should be able to unite regardless of party or politics.
John F. Kennedy
This country cannot afford to be materially rich and spiritually poor.
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
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
The purpose of foreign policy is not to provide an outlet for our own sentiments of hope or indignation it is to shape real events in a real world.
John F. Kennedy
It is not our wealth that built our roads, but it is our roads that built our wealth.
John F. Kennedy
And is not peace, in the last analysis, basically a matter of human rights -- the right to live out our lives without fear of devastation – the right to breathe air as nature provided it -- the right of future generations to a healthy existence? (John F. Kennedy, June 10, 1963, American University speech)
