"While we cannot guarantee that we shall..." - Quote by John F Kennedy

“Life in freedom is not easy, and democracy is not perfect.”

“This is a great country and requires a good deal of all of us, so I can imagine nothing more important than for all of you to continue to work in public affairs and be interested in them, not only to bring up a family, but also give part of your time to your community, your state, and your country.”

“In a world of danger and trial, peace is our deepest aspiration.”

“Do not talk about giftedness, inborn talents! One can assume great men of all kinds who were very little gifted. They acquired greatness, became “geniuses” (as we put it), through qualities the lack of which no one who knew what they were would boast of: they all possessed that seriousness of the efficient workman which first learns to construct the parts properly before it ventures to fashion a great whole; they allowed themselves time for it, because they took more pleasure in making the little, secondary things well than in the effect of a dazzling whole.”

“The truth is, there is money buried everywhere, and you have only to go to work to find it.”

“He that by the Plough would thrive, Himself must either hold or drive.”

“To fail is a natural consequence of trying, To succeed takes time and prolonged effort in the face of unfriendly odds. To think it will be any other way, no matter what you do, is to invite yourself to be hurt and to limit your enthusiasm for trying again.”

“Success is not a destination thing, it’s a daily thing.”

“Censure is the tax a man pays to the public for being eminent.”
