"When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry..." - Quote by John F Kennedy

“Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and commerce.”

“No government or social system is so evil that its people must be considered as lacking in virtue.”

“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.”

“A poet more than thirty years old is simply an overgrown child.”

“I wish to write such rhymes as shall not suggest a restraint, but contrariwise the wildest freedom.”

“Time was a film run backward. Suns fled and ten million moons fled after them.”

“Thou must (in commanding and winning, or serving and losing, suffering or triumphing) be either anvil or hammer.”

“But 'tis common proof, that lowliness is young ambition's ladder, whereto the climber-upward turns his face; but when he once attains the upmost round, he then turns his back, looks in the clouds, scorning the vase defrees by which he did ascend.”

“The only thing power respects, is power.”
