JFK - In Memorium (Assasinated Nov. 22, 1963)

Some JFK quotes:

A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on.

----

A man does what he must - in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures - and that is the basis of all human morality.

----

For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.

----

Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.

----

I look forward to a future in which our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purpose.

----

Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all.

----

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.

----

The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were.

----

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.

RIP John F. Kennedy,

I heard it first on the radio early this morning.. It's been 43 years.

"Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names."
-JFK

We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.
JFK
This is one of my favorites quote which i used very often.

A great quote!

He used to be my hero while growing up behind the iron courtain. We were barely here a month in Canada when he got asassinated. It was a sad day, as we watched the events unfold on tv. May he rest in peace.................

jfk sounds like a prick

jacklaidlaw sounds like an idiot

JFK: 'I Am a Jelly Doughnut'

It's sad that the aniversary of his assasination is getting so little play on TV or anywhere else for that matter.

it was 43 years ago, the mourning passed at 41 years

its a sad fucking state of affairs when unimportant shit like Michael Richards calling 2 black dudes n i g g e r in a comedy nightclub and the REACTIONS FROM HOLLYWOOD are getting non-stop prime time tv coverage that OVERSHADOW an event which changed this country and affected all americans.

I think you are giving Kennedy way too much credit. The only reason you guys even know who he was is because he was assassinated.

Truth be told, he wasn't that good of a guy.

what a shame a great man

Great quotes by great speech writers.

either youre drunk, stupid or quite possibly both.

the more i read your posts confirms my belief that youre an idiot.

He was one of the best American presidents....

wow doesn't seem like its been that long.

Yeap he brought us closer to nuclear war than anyone, tried to overthrow another ruler and failed, won because of mob money and cheated on his wife with movie stars. Great prez lol. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

rest in peace old man

Had he been president in this day and time, he would have been right up there with Clinton and probably even worse insofar as his moral/family values.

This, "Greatest president of all times" stuff has me a bit confused... What made him that?

he inspired people... probably more than any president ever has. thats a big part of what leadership is. as for what "might have been" and anyones interpretation of the events during his presidency, thats all debatable and largely a matter of perspective and subjective views.

Ok.. He inspired people..

But as for events being anyone's interpretation.. and being debatable.. Not the case anymore.. Retrieved documents show quite the contrary.. Just as they show that Marilyn Monroe was much deeper in the mix than just his and Robert's playtoy...

I know.. conspiracy theories abound!!

Oh yeah, I must not know what I am talking about.

Tell me something, were you even alive when he was assassinated?

He got us into Nam, fucked up the Bay of Pigs, fucked around on his wife, was addicted to pain killers.

Yeah, he was a real inspiration.

JFK was best president in entire history of America.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Ask Marilyn Munroe !!! oh yeah you cant ??

That made me think a bit, and the first that popped into mind was John F. Kennedy Drive in San Francisco.

There are also many JFK Parkways around the country.

If you are going to try and be smart, the first rule is to at least spell the names correctly.

JFK was a breath of fresh air for this country. Look at the many Presidents that preceded him, some great men for sure, such as FDR and Eisenhower (the General, not the politician), but ultimately, rather staid, dour calculating politicians.

John Kennedy, on the other hand, was younger and more charismatic, and he understood the changes that were coming and embraced them.

Civil rights, expanding employment and housing opportunities, the space race...JFK had optimistic progressive visions about the potential for America, and programs that would help bring them about.

Was he human? Well, of course. If you dig deep enough, almost every prominent politician has skeletons in their closet. The only reason it is more apparent now is that the media has changed. What used to be considered personal was off limits, now it makes headlines.

Did JFK or any recent President write all of their own speeches? Of course not. Kennedy had Pierre Salinger, as Ronald Reagan had Peggy Noonan. Kennedy actually was well read and a good writer himself, and he developed many of the themes.

Look at the politicians since Kennedy. So many political party hacks and precious few leaders with real vision. I think it is fair to say that the current President is among the worst this nation has ever had to endure.

John McCain is getting along in years, but I truly hope to see him as the GOP candidate in the next Presidential election, up against one of the leading Democratic orators. I think this country is yearning for a leader with vision, and I believe McCain or any number of Democrats could be that leader.

So many people have made a career out of bashing Kennedy, as have tried to make a buck spinning speculative conspiracy yarns about his assasination. Nonetheless, he remains in the hearts of many, despite his human frailties, a great man and leader, and one whom we can still seek inspiration from through his words.

While I would never admit it when he was in office, LBJ did more for those ideas than JFK did.

A fatal bullet in the head kind of slows one down...

The progressive programs (Civil Rights, Domestic Programs, Space Program, etc), were all Kennedy's ideas.

It is good that LBJ helped see through some of JFK's legislation, but the real legacy for those ideas belongs to Kennedy, not Johnson.

When Kennedy was killed there were only 16,000 U.S. troops in Vietnam.

The real escalation in that war came after JFK's death.

The escalation of the war in Vietnam belonged to Johnson, and his failed policy there ultimately led to him not seeking re-election, handing the White House to Nixon (after Bobby Kennedy was also assassinated).
