More quotes by John F. Kennedy
The complacent, the self-indulgent, the soft societies are about to be swept away with the debris of history. Only the strong, only the industrious, only the determined, only the courageous, only the visionary who determine the real nature of our struggle can possibly survive.
John F. Kennedy
No government or social system is so evil that its people must be considered as lacking in virtue.
John F. Kennedy
I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute - where no Catholic prelate would tell the president (should he be Catholic) how to act. I do not speak for my church on public matters - and the church does not speak for me.
John F. Kennedy
We would like to live as we once lived, but history will not permit it.
John F. Kennedy
The most effective means of upholding the law is not the State policeman or the marshals or the National Guard. It is you. It lies in your courage to accept those laws with which you disagree as well as those with which you agree.
John F. Kennedy
By the age of six the average child will have completed the basic American education.... From television, the child will have learned how to pick a lock, commit a fairly elaborate bank holdup, prevent wetness all day long, get the laundry twice as white, and kill people with a variety of sophisticated armaments.
John F. Kennedy
We cannot reform the world.... Uncle Sugar is as dangerous a role for us to play as Uncle Shylock.
John F. Kennedy
What church I go to on Sunday, what dogma of the Catholic Church I believe in, is my business and whatever faith any other American has is his business.
John F. Kennedy
I must say that though other days may not be so bright, as we look toward the future, that the brightest days will continue to be those we spent with you here in Ireland.
John F. Kennedy
In a world of danger and trial, peace is our deepest aspiration.
John F. Kennedy
Irrational barriers and ancient prejudices fall quickly when the question of survival itself is at stake.
John F. Kennedy
A rising tide (in the economy) lifts all boats.
John F. Kennedy
My experience in government is that when things are non-controversial and beautifully coordinated, there is not much going on.
John F. Kennedy
A life of complete leisure is the hardest work of all.
John F. Kennedy
The only reason to give a speech is to change the world.
John F. Kennedy
Modern cynics and skeptics... see no harm in paying those to whom they entrust the minds of their children a smaller wage than is paid to those to whom they entrust the care of their plumbing.
John F. Kennedy
A boy spends his time finding a girl to sleep with. A real man spends his time looking for the one worth waking up to.
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
Freedom is indivisible, and when one man is enslaved, all are not free.
John F. Kennedy
I know my Republican friends were glad to see my wife feeding an elephant in India. She gave him sugar and nuts. But of course the elephant wasn't satisfied.
John F. Kennedy
