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.

The first man-made satellite to orbit the earth was named Sputnik. The first living creature in space was Laika. The first rocket to the Moon carried a red flag. The first photograph of the far side of the Moon was made with a Soviet camera. If a man orbits the earth this year his name will be Ivan.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John F. Kennedy

We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes.
John F. Kennedy
Image
The New Frontier of which I speak is not a set of promises, it is a set of challenges. It sums up not what I intend to offer the American people, but what I intend to ask of them.
John F. Kennedy
Image
I am the one person who can truthfully say, I got my job through the New York Times.
John F. Kennedy

Sometimes party loyalty asks too much.
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

Don't ask 'Why', ask instead, 'Why not'.

American history is not something dead and over. It is always alive,always growing, always unfinished.
John F. Kennedy
Image
Man will be what he was born to be: free and independent.
John F. Kennedy
Image
History will not judge our endeavors--and a government cannot be selected--merely on the basis of color or creed or even party affiliation. Neither will competence and loyalty and stature, while essential to the utmost, suffice in times such as these.
John F. Kennedy
Image
History will never accept difficulties as an excuse.

Diplomacy and defense are not substitutes for one another. Either alone would fail.

The science of weapons and war has made us all one world and one human race with one common destiny.
