Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.Â
John F. KennedyÂ
Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners, and necessity has made us allies. Those whom God has so joined together, let no man put asunder.Â
John F. KennedyÂ
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.Â
John F. KennedyÂ
The very word 'secrecy' is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.Â
John F. KennedyÂ
The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty, and all forms of human life.Â

John F. KennedyÂ
There are many people in the world who really don't understand-or say they don't-what is the great issue between the free world and the Communist world. Let them come to Berlin!Â

John F. KennedyÂ
Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan.Â
John F. KennedyÂ
War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today.Â
John F. KennedyÂ
Washington is a city of Southern efficiency and Northern charm.Â
John F. KennedyÂ
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.Â
John F. KennedyÂ
We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came.Â
John F. KennedyÂ
We believe that if men have the talent to invent new machines that put men out of work, they have the talent to put those men back to work.Â
John F. KennedyÂ
We cannot expect that all nations will adopt like systems, for conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.Â
John F. KennedyÂ
