A life of complete leisure is the hardest work of all.
John F. Kennedy
No sane society chooses to commit national suicide.
John F. Kennedy
Just because we cannot see clearly te end of the road, that is no reason for not setting out on the essential journey.
John F. Kennedy
A nation which has forgotten the quality of courage which in the past has been brought to public life is not as likely to insist upon or regard that quality in its chosen leaders today - and in fact we have forgotten.
John F. Kennedy
Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe. The survival of our friends is in danger. And yet no war has been declared, no borders have been crossed by marching troops, no missiles have been fired.
John F. Kennedy
In a time of domestic crisis, men of goodwill and generosity should be able to unite regardless of party or politics.
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

John F. Kennedy
And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.
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
We must use time as a tool, not as a couch.
John F. Kennedy
I see no magic in tax dollars which are sent to Washington and then returned. I abhor the waste and incompetence of large-scale federal bureaucracies in this administration as well as in others. I do not favor state compulsion when voluntary individual effort can do the job and do it well.
John F. Kennedy
There is always inequality in life. Some men are killed in a war and some men are wounded and some men never leave the country. Life is unfair.
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
I am the one person who can truthfully say, I got my job through the New York Times.
John F. Kennedy
The New Frontier of which I speak is not a set of promises, it is a set of challenges. It sums up not what I intend to offer the American people, but what I intend to ask of them.
John F. Kennedy
