JFK QUOTES

1. Education: A child miseducated is a child lost.

2. Truth: 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

3. Courage: 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.

4. Example: As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

5. Change: Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.

6. Conformity Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.

7. Responsibility: Do you realize the responsibility I carry? I'm the only person standing between Richard Nixon and the White House.

8. Purpose: Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.

9. Enemies: Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.

10. Intelligence: I don't think the intelligence reports are all that hot. Some days I get more out of the New York Times.

11. Integrity 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.

12. Agenda: I look forward to a great future for America - a future in which our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purpose.

13. Talent: I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered at the White House - with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.

14. Idealist: I am an idealist without illusions.

15. Freedom: If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.

16. Leadership Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.

17. Cooperation: Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.

18. Mortality: Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.

19. Peace: Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures.

20. Enemy: The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie, deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive and unrealistic.
