Fortune Quote #3383

In politics, there are no friends, only allies. -- John F. Kennedy

Fortune Quote #3382

But peace does not rest in the charters and covenants alone. It lies in
the hearts and minds of all people. And if it is cast out there, then no
act, no pact, no treaty, no organization can hope to preserve it without
the support and whole hearted commitment of all people. So let us not rest
all our hopes on parchment and on paper, let us strive to build peace, a
desire for peace, a willingness to work for peace in the hearts and minds
of all of our people. -- John F. Kennedy

Fortune Quote #3381

We stand today on the edge of a new frontier. 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....It appeals to our pride, not our security--it holds the promise of
more sacrifice instead of more security. -- John F. Kennedy

Fortune Quote #3380

Mothers all want their sons to grow up to be president but they don't want
them to become politicians in the process. -- John F. Kennedy

Fortune Quote #3379

A man does what he must---in spite of personal consequences, in spite of
obstacles and dangers---and this is the basis of all human
morality. -- John F. Kennedy

Fortune Quote #3378

Only a respect for the law makes it possible for free men to dwell
together in peace and progress.... Law is the adhesive force in the cement
of society, creating order out of chaos and coherence in place of
anarchy. -- John F. Kennedy

Fortune Quote #3377

There are three things in life which are real: God, human folly and
laughter. Since the first two are beyond our comprehension, we must do what
we can with the third. -- John F. Kennedy

Fortune Quote #3376

Now the trumpet summons us again--not as a call to bear arms, though arms
we need--not as a call to battle, though embattled we are--but a call to
bear the burden of a long twilight struggle year in and year out 'rejoicing
in hope, patient in tribulation' --a struggle against the common enemies of
man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself. -- John F. Kennedy

Fortune Quote #3375

Only when our arms are sufficient, without doubt, can we be certain,
without doubt, that they will never be employed. -- John F. Kennedy

Fortune Quote #3374

Let us never negotiate out of fear but let us never fear to
negotiate. -- John F. Kennedy

Fortune Quote #3373

The world is very different now...and yet the same revolutionary beliefs
for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe--the
belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but
from the hand of God. -- John F. Kennedy

Fortune Quote #3372

A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on. Ideas have
endurance without death. -- John F. Kennedy

Fortune Quote #3371

For the great enemy of truth is very often not the lie--deliberate,
contrived and dishonest--but the myth--persistent, persuasive--of our
forebears. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of
thought. -- John F. Kennedy

Fortune Quote #3370

We have come too far, we have sacrificed too much, to disdain the furture
now. -- John F. Kennedy

Fortune Quote #3369

The wave of the future is not the conquest of the world by a single
dogmatic creed but the liberation of the diverse energies of free nations
and free men. -- John F. Kennedy

Fortune Quote #3368

Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names. -- John F.
Kennedy

Fortune Quote #3367

Economic policy can result from governmental inaction as well as
governmental action. -- John F. Kennedy

Fortune Quote #3366

The path we have chosen for the present is full of hazards, as all paths
are---but it is the one most consistent with our character and courage as a
nation and our commitments around the world. The cost of freedom is always
high---but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never
choose, and that is the path of surrender or submission. -- John F.
Kennedy

Fortune Quote #3365

Diplomacy and defense are not substitutes for one another. Either alone
will fail. -- John F. Kennedy, 1960

Fortune Quote #3364

Without belittling the courage with which men have died, we should not
forget those acts of courage with which men...have lived. The courage of
life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment;
but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. --
John F. Kennedy, Profiles in Courage

Fortune Quote #3363

The stories of past courage can define that ingredient--they can teach,
they can offer hope, they can provide inspiration. But they cannot supply
courage itself. For this each man must look into his oun soul. --
John F. Kennedy, Profiles in Courage

Fortune Quote #3362

Any dangerous spot is tenable if brave men will make it so. --
John F. Kennedy

Fortune Quote #3361

Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth. --
John F. Kennedy

Fortune Quote #3360

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

Fortune Quote #3359

The freedom of [Berlin] is not negotiable. We cannot negotiate with those
who say, 'What's mine is mine and what's yours is negotiable.' --
John F. Kennedy, 1961

Fortune Quote #3358

We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts,
foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For 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

Fortune Quote #3357

Within the first few months, I discovered that being president is like
riding a tiger. A man has to keep on riding or be swallowed. --
Harry S Truman

Fortune Quote #3356

We must get at the Eastern values from within and not from without,
seeking them in ourselves, in the unconscious. We shall then discover how
great is our fear of the unconscious and how formidable are our
resistances. Because of these resistances we doubt the very thing that
seems so obvious to the East, namely, the self-liberating power of the
introverted mind. -- Carl Gustav Jung

Fortune Quote #3355

There is no conflict between religion and science in the East, because no
science is there based upon the passion for facts, and no religion upon
mere faith; there is religious cognition and cognitive religion. --
Carl Gustav Jung

Fortune Quote #3354

Scientific materialism has merely introduced a new hypostasis.... It has
given another name to the supreme principle of reality and has assumed that
this created a new thing and destroyed an old thing. Whether you call the
principle of existence "God," "matter," "energy," or anything else you
like, you have created nothing; you have simply changed a symbol.
-- Carl Gustav Jung

Fortune Quote #3353

Jesus is the perfect example of a man who preached something different
from the religion of his forefathers. But the imitatio Christi does not
appear to include the mental and spiritual sacrifice which he had to
undergo at the beginning of his career and without which he would never
have become a saviour. -- Carl Gustav Jung
