John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy
The best way to progress is the path of freedom.
John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy
A tired nation, said David Lloyd George, is a Tory nation, and the United States today cannot afford to be either tired or Tory.
John F. Kennedy
We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.
John F. Kennedy
For without belittling the courage with which men have died, we should not forget those acts of courage with which men have lived.
John F. Kennedy
Every dollar released from taxation that is spared or invested will help create a new job and a new salary.
John F. Kennedy
No one has been barred on account of his race from fighting or dying for America, there are no white or colored signs on the foxholes or graveyards of battle.
John F. Kennedy
