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

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
