"The basic problems facing the world today..." - Quote by John F Kennedy

“Lets talk to one another instead of about one another.”

“If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.”

“To exclude from positions of trust and command all those below the age of 44 would have kept Jefferson from writing the Declaration of Independence, Washington from commanding the Continental Army, Madison from fathering the Constitution, Hamilton from serving as secretary of the treasury, Clay from being elected speaker of the House and Christopher Columbus from discovering America.”

“There is no hope for the aching world except through the narrow and straight path of nonviolence.”

“Whoever is victor, there should be, after the war, a commonwealth of all nations.”

“But I remember more dearly autumn afternoons in bottoms that lay intensely silent under old great trees”

“I don't see why we and the Chinese should have to be enemies.”

“Wars, therefore, are to be undertaken for this end, that we may live in peace, without being injured; but when we obtain the victory, we must preserve those enemies who behaved without cruelty or inhumanity during the war.”

“In America, there's a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.”
