John F. Kennedy

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
We shall be judged more by what we do at home than what we preach abroad.
John F. Kennedy
Ask not that the journey be easy ask instead that it be worth it.
John F. Kennedy
A committee is twelve men doing the work of one.
John F. Kennedy
It is not our wealth that built our roads, but it is our roads that built our wealth.
John F. Kennedy
