More quotes by John F. Kennedy
There is, in addition to a courage with which men die a courage by which men must live.
John F. Kennedy
A revolution is coming – a revolution which will be peaceful if we are wise enough compassionate if we care enough successful if we are fortunate enough – but a revolution which is coming whether we will it or not. We can affect its character we cannot alter its inevitability.
John F. Kennedy
Our children and grandchildren are not merely statistics towards which we can be indifferent.
John F. Kennedy
A young man who does not have what it takes to perform military service is not likely to have what it takes to make a living. Today's military rejects include tomorrow's hard-core unemployed.
John F. Kennedy
Man will be what he was born to be: free and independent.
John F. Kennedy
In the dark days and darker nights when England stood alone-and most men save Englishmen despaired of England's life-he [Churchill] mobilized the English language and sent it into battle.
John F. Kennedy
There are those who regard this history of past strife and exile as better forgotten. But, to use the phrase of Yeats, let us not casually reduce that great past to a trouble of fools. For we need not feel the bitterness of the past to discover its meaning for the present and the future.
John F. Kennedy
The American, by nature, is optimistic. He is experimental, an inventor and a builder who builds best when called upon to build greatly.
John F. Kennedy
The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.
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
[High income tax rates] not only check consumption but discourage investment and encourage...the avoidance of taxes [rather] than the production of goods.[...]Our present tax system...reduces the financial incentives for personal effort, investment, and risk-taking.
John F. Kennedy
If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.
John F. Kennedy
Ask not that the journey be easy ask instead that it be worth it.
John F. Kennedy
Immigration policy should be generous it should be fair it should be flexible. With such a policy we can turn to the world, and to our own past, with clean hands and a clear conscience.
John F. Kennedy
If we are strong, our strength will speak for itself. If we are weak, words will be of no help.
John F. Kennedy
Effort and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.
John F. Kennedy
Peaceful circulation has been interupted by barbed wire and concrete blocks. For a city or a people to be truly free, they must have the secure right, without economic, political or police pressure, to make their own choices and live their own lives.
John F. Kennedy
Political sovereignty is but a mockery without the means of meeting poverty and illiteracy and disease. Self-determination is but a slogan if the future holds no hope.
John F. Kennedy
If anyone is crazy enough to want to kill a president of the United States, he can do it. All he must be prepared to do is give his life for the president's.
John F. Kennedy
Do you realize the responsibility I carry? I'm the only person standing between Richard Nixon and the White House.
John F. Kennedy
