John F. Kennedy



Over and over I look in your eyes
You are all I desire
You have captured me
I want to hold you
I want to be close to you
I never want to let go
I wish that this night would never end
I need to know


Over and over I've dreamed of this night
Now you're here by my side
You are next to me
I want to hold you and touch you and taste you
And make you want no one but me
I wish that this kiss could never end
Oh baby please
I don't want any night to go by
Without you by my side
I just want all my days
Spend being next to you
Lived for just loving you
And baby, oh by the way


Could I hold you for a lifetime
Could I look into your eyes
Could I have this night to share this night together
Could I hold you close beside me
Could I hold you for all time
Could I could I have this kiss forever

John F. Kennedy

A child miseducated is a child lost.


A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on.

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.



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.



A young man who does not have what it takes to perform military service is not likely to have what it takes to make a living. Today's military rejects include tomorrow's hard-core unemployed.



All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin. And therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words "Ich bin ein Berliner!"




And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.


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

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

Communism has never come to power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both

John F. Kennedy

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

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men.


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


Domestic policy can only defeat us; foreign policy can kill us.
 

Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.



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.


Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.
 

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.
 

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

Thomas Jefferson
A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference.


A coward is much more exposed to quarrels than a man of spirit.

A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.



A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.


Advertisements contain the only truths to be relied on in a newspaper.


All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.


All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression.



Always take hold of things by the smooth handle.

An association of men who will not quarrel with one another is a thing which has never yet existed, from the greatest confederacy of nations down to a town meeting or a vestry.
 

An enemy generally says and believes what he wishes.


An injured friend is the bitterest of foes

**********************************
Thomas Jefferson

As our enemies have found we can reason like men, so now let us show them we can fight like men also.

Be polite to all, but intimate with few.


Bodily decay is gloomy in prospect, but of all human contemplations the most abhorrent is body without mind.


Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.

But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine.


Commerce with all nations, alliance with none, should be our motto.


Conquest is not in our principles. It is inconsistent with our government.

Delay is preferable to error.


Dependence begets subservience and venality, suffocates the germ of virtue, and prepares fit tools for the designs of ambition
*******************************************
Martin Luther King, Jr
A lie cannot live.


A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.


A man can't ride your back unless it's bent.


A man who won't die for something is not fit to live.


A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan.


A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.


A right delayed is a right denied.


A riot is at bottom the language of the unheard.


A riot is the language of the unheard.


All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence
**************************************************************
Martin Luther King, Jr
All progress is precarious, and the solution of one problem brings us face to face with another problem.


Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better.


An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.


An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.


At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love.


Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent.


Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.


Discrimination is a hell hound that gnaws at Negroes in every waking moment of their lives to remind them that the lie of their inferiority is accepted as truth in the society dominating them.


Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.

Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see
