More quotes by John F. Kennedy
Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us.
John F. Kennedy
The supreme reality of our time is the vulnerability of our planet.
John F. Kennedy
A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.
John F. Kennedy
If men and women are in chains anywhere in the world, then freedom is endangered everywhere.
John F. Kennedy
We are confronted primarily with a moral issue... whether all Americans are to be afforded equal rights and equal opportunities, whether we are going to treat our fellow Americans as we want to be treated.
John F. Kennedy
There is, of course, a legitimate argument for some limitation upon immigration. We no longer need settlers for virgin lands, and our economy is expanding more slowly than in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
John F. Kennedy
I just received the following wire from my generous Daddy Dear Jack, Don't buy a single vote more than is necessary. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay for a landslide.
John F. Kennedy
We had a dog who was named Pushinka, who was given to my father by a Soviet official. And we trained that dog to slide down the slide we had in the back of the White House. Sliding the dog down that slide is probably my first memory.
John F. Kennedy
Lower rates of taxation will stimulate economic activity and so raise the levels of personal and corporate income as to yield within a few years an increased - not a reduced - flow of revenues to the federal government.
John F. Kennedy
Freedom is indivisible, and when one man is enslaved, all are not free.
John F. Kennedy
I want every American to be free to stand up for his rights, even if sometimes he has to sit down for them.
John F. Kennedy
We must face the fact that the United States is neither omnipotent nor omniscient, that we cannot impose our will upon the other 94 percent of mankind, that we cannot right every wrong or reverse every adversity, and that therefore there cannot be an American solution to every world problem.
John F. Kennedy
Philanthropy, charity, giving voluntarily and freely... call it what you like, but it is truly a jewel of an American tradition.
John F. Kennedy
The great free nations of the world must take control of our monetary problems if these problems are not to take control of us.
John F. Kennedy
The rising tide lifts all the boats.
John F. Kennedy
Dont teach my boy poetry, an English mother recently wrote the Provost of Harrow. Dont teach my boy poetry he is going to stand for Parliament. Well, perhaps she was rightbut if more politicians knew poetry, and more poets knew politics, I am convinced the world would be a little better place to live on this Commencement Day of 1956.
John F. Kennedy
The problem of power is how to achieve its responsible use rather than its irresponsible and indulgent use of how to get men of power to live for the public rather than off the public.
John F. Kennedy
I am glad that Congress has recently authorized $800,000 to State welfare agencies to expand their day-care services during the remainder of this fiscal year. But we need much more. We need the $8 million in the 1965 budget for the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare allocated to this purpose.
John F. Kennedy
To be courageous requires no exceptional qualifications, no magic formula, no special combination of time, place, and circumstance. It is an opportunity that sooner or later is presented to us all.
John F. Kennedy
Democracy is never a final achievement. It is a call to an untiring effort.
John F. Kennedy
