Text Quotes
The essence of Vanderbilt is still learning, the essence of its outlook is still liberty, and liberty and learning will be and must be the touchstones of Vanderbilt University and of any free university in this country or the world. I say two touchstones, yet they are almost inseparable, inseparable if not indistinguishable, for liberty without learning is always in peril, and learning without liberty is always in vain  (John F Kennedy Quotes) We are confronted primarily with a moral issue... whether all Americans are to be afforded equal rights and equal opportunities, whether we are going to treat our fellow Americans as we want to be treated  (John F Kennedy Quotes) I believe in human dignity as the source of national purpose, human liberty as the source of national action, the human heart as the source of national compassion, and in the human mind as the source of our invention and our ideas  (John F Kennedy Quotes) I believe in an America where religious intolerance will someday end... where every man has the same right to attend or not attend the church of his choice  (John F Kennedy Quotes) It is true that my predecessor did not object, as I do, to pictures of one’s golf skill in action. But neither, on the other hand, did he ever bean a Secret Serviceman  (John F Kennedy Quotes) There is always inequity in life. Some men are killed in war and some men are wounded; some men never leave the country, some men are stationed in the Antarctic and some are stationed in San Francisco. It’s very hard in military or in personal life to assure complete equality. Life is unfair  (John F Kennedy Quotes) The American Labor Movement has consistently demonstrated its devotion to the public interest. It is, and has been, good for all America  (John F Kennedy Quotes) Our labor unions are not narrow, self-seeking groups. They have raised wages, shortened hours, and provided supplemental benefits. Through collective bargaining and grievance procedures, they have brought justice and democracy to the shop floor  (John F Kennedy Quotes) In seeking the help of the Congress and our countrymen, I pledged no easy answers. I pledged, and asked, only toil and dedication. These the Congress and the people have given in good measure  (John F Kennedy Quotes) Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe. The survival of our friends is in danger. And yet no war has been declared, no borders have been crossed by marching troops, no missiles have been fired  (John F Kennedy Quotes) I do not say that all men are equal in their ability, character and motivation. I do say that every American should be given a fair chance to develop all the talents they may have  (John F Kennedy Quotes) If scientific discovery has not been an unalloyed blessing, if it has conferred on mankind the power not only to create but also to annihilate, it has at the same time provided humanity with a supreme challenge and a supreme testing  (John F Kennedy Quotes) We must create world-wide law and law enforcement as we outlaw world-wide war and weapon  (John F Kennedy Quotes) The labor movement is people. Our unions have brought millions of men and women together, made them members one of another, and given them common tools for common goals. Their goals are goals for all America - and their enemies are the enemies for progress. The two cannot be separated  (John F Kennedy Quotes) But if the life will not be easy, it will be rich and satisfying. For every young American who participates in the Peace Corps-who works in a foreign land-will know that he or she is sharing in the great common task of bringing to man that decent way of life which is the foundation of freedom and a condition of peace  (John F Kennedy Quotes) Those who came before us made certain that this country rode the first waves of the industrial revolution, the first waves of modern invention and the first wave of nuclear power. And this generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming age of space. We mean to be part of it-we mean to lead it  (John F Kennedy Quotes) The first man-made satellite to orbit the earth was named Sputnik. The first living creature in space was Laika. The first rocket to the Moon carried a red flag. The first photograph of the far side of the Moon was made with a Soviet camera. If a man orbits the earth this year his name will be Ivan  (John F Kennedy Quotes) The United States of America has no intention of finishing second in space. This effort is expensive-but it pays its way for freedom and for America  (John F Kennedy Quotes) Philanthropy, charity, giving voluntarily and freely... call it what you like, but it is truly a jewel of an American tradition  (John F Kennedy Quotes) National parks and reserves are an integral aspect of intelligent use of natural resources. It is the course of wisdom to set aside an ample portion of our natural resources as national parks and reserves, thus ensuring that future generations may know the majesty of the earth as we know it today  (John F Kennedy Quotes) When I was growing up I had three wishes. I wanted to be a Lindbergh-type hero, learn Chinese, and become a member of The Algonquin Round Table  (John F Kennedy Quotes) Our economy today depends upon women in the labor force. One out of three workers is a woman. Today, there are almost 25 million women employed, and their number is rising faster than the number of men in the labor force  (John F Kennedy Quotes) It is for these reasons that I believe we must expand day-care centers and provide other assistance which I have recommended to the Congress. At present, the total facilities of all the licensed day-care centers in the Nation can take care of only 185,000 children. Nearly 500,000 children under 12 must take care of themselves while their mothers work. This, it seems to me, is a formula for disaster  (John F Kennedy Quotes) I am grateful to those Members of Congress who worked so diligently to guide the Equal Pay Act through. It is a first step. It affirms our determination that when women enter the labor force they will find equality in their pay envelopes  (John F Kennedy Quotes) ... the United States was not built by those who waited and rested and wished to look behind them. This country was conquered by those who moved forward, and so will space  (John F Kennedy Quotes) But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask; why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?  (John F Kennedy Quotes) Last year, more Americans went to symphonies than went to baseball games. This may be viewed as an alarming statistic, but I think that both baseball and the country will endure  (John F Kennedy Quotes) A country is as strong, really, as its citizens. And I think that mental and physical health - mental and physical vigor - go hand in hand  (John F Kennedy Quotes) In addition, the United States Delegation will suggest a series of steps to improve the United Nations machinery for the peaceful settlement of disputes... - for extending the rule of international law. For peace is not solely a matter of military or technical problems - it is primarily a problem of politics and people  (John F Kennedy Quotes) Mr. Nixon has, in the last seven days, called me an economic ignoramus, a Pied Piper, and all the rest. I’ve just confined myself to calling him a Republican. But he says that is getting low  (John F Kennedy Quotes)
