Liberty without Learning is always in peril and Learning wit... - John F. Kennedy

"The rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened."

"Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.[Inaugural Address, January 20 1961]"

"The great enemy of truth is very often not the lie--deliberate, contrived and dishonest--but the myth--persistent, persuasive and unrealistic. Too often we hold fast to the cliches of our forebears. We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.[Commencement Address at Yale University, June 11 1962]"

"To those peoples in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required - not because the Communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich."

"Once you say you're going to settle for second, that's what happens to you in life."
