"The American, by nature, is optimistic.
He is experimental, and inventor and a builder who builds best when
called upon to build greatly"
"We stand for freedom. That is our conviction
for ourselves; that is our only commitment to others"
"Forgive your
enemies, but never forget their names"
"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"
"For in the final analysis, our most basic common link,
is that we all inhabit this small planet, we all breathe the same
air, we all cherish our children's futures, and we are all mortal"
"Our
problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. And man
can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human
beings"
"Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other"
"Mankind
must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind"
"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"
