"We dare not forget that we are the heirs of that first revolution."
"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and success of liberty."
"Liberty without learning is always in peril; learning without liberty is always in vain."
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." John F. Kennedy |
