More quotes by John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy
Once you say you're going to settle for second, that's what happens to you in life.

John F. Kennedy
Neither smiles nor frowns, neither good intentions nor harsh words, are a substitute for strength.
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
There is always inequality in life. Some men are killed in a war and some men are wounded and some men never leave the country. Life is unfair.
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
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
It might be said now that I have the best of both worlds. A Harvard education and a Yale degree.
John F. Kennedy
A revolution is coming – a revolution which will be peaceful if we are wise enough compassionate if we care enough successful if we are fortunate enough – but a revolution which is coming whether we will it or not. We can affect its character we cannot alter its inevitability.
John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy
