John F. Kennedy
  • 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.

  • The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy.

  • My brother Bob doesn't want to be in government - he promised Dad he'd go straight.

  • The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.

  • Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource.
