59 Years

John F. Kennedy, May 29, 1917 - November 22, 1963


"The great revolution in the history of man, past, present and future, is the revolution of those determined to be free."


"There is danger that totalitarian governments, not subject to vigorous popular debate, will underestimate the will and unity of democratic societies where vital interests are concerned.
-13th News Conference, June 28, 1961


"There are those who regard this history of past strife and exile as better forgotten. But, to use the phrase of Yeats, let us not casually reduce 'that great past to a trouble of fools.' For we need not feel the bitterness of the past to discover its meaning for the present and the future."
-Speech to a joint session of the Dail and the Seanad, Dublin, Ireland, June 28, 1963
