I'm an idealist without illusions.
From John F. Kennedy
Now we have a problem in making our power credible, and Vietnam is the place.
The United States has to move very fast to even stand still.
No one has been barred on account of his race from fighting or dying for America, there are no white or colored signs on the foxholes or graveyards of battle.
We believe that if men have the talent to invent new machines that put men out of work, they have the talent to put those men back to work.
I believe in a president whose religious views are his own private affair, neither imposed by him upon the nation or imposed by the nation upon him as a condition to holding that office.
The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty, and all forms of human life.
We have the power to make this the best generation of mankind in the history of the world or to make it the last.
Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.
