John F. Kennedy

Failure has no friends.

John F. Kennedy

For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.

John F. Kennedy

Great crisis produce great men and great deeds of courage.

John F. Kennedy

History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.

John F. Kennedy

History will never accept difficulties as an excuse.

John F. Kennedy

I can evade questions without help; what I need is answers.

John F. Kennedy

If more politicians knew poetry, and more poets knew politics, I am convinced the world would be a little better place in which to live.

John F. Kennedy

If not us, who? If not now, when?

John F. Kennedy

If this nation is to be wise as well as strong, if we are to achieve our destiny, then we need more new ideas for more wise men reading more good books in more public libraries.

John F. Kennedy

If we are strong, our strength will speak for itself. If we are weak, words will be of no help.
