John F. Kennedy
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.

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
O God, thy sea is so great and my boat is so small.
John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy
In free society art is not a weapon...Artists are not engineers of the soul.
John F. Kennedy
Those whom nature hath so joined together, let no man put asunder
John F. Kennedy
No man who enters upon the office to which I have succeeded can fail to recognize how every president of the United States has placed special reliance upon his faith in God.
John F. Kennedy
