John F. Kennedy
The Republican Party can lead any person to believe that their promises will be fulfilled in the future. They follow the Hitler line – no matter how big the lie repeat it often enough and the masses will regard it as truth.
John F. Kennedy
Ask not that the journey be easy ask instead that it be worth it.
John F. Kennedy
Everything changes but change itself.
John F. Kennedy
Washington is a city of Southern efficiency and Northern charm.
