Many consider him, along with his brother, Robert Kennedy, to be the “last great Democrats.”
>>>Here are 10 great quotes from JFK:
1. “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 the success of liberty.”
2. “The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission.”
3. “My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”
4. “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.”
5. “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”
6. “Israel was not created in order to disappear – Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom.”
7. “Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.”
8. “Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan.”
9. “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.”
10. “With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God’s work must truly be our own.”
