Motivational Quote by John F. Kennedy — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“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.”

“They follow the Hitler line - no matter how big the lie; repeat it often enough and the masses will regard it as the truth.”

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”

“Liberty without Learning is always in peril and Learning without Liberty is always in vain.”

“When anger use your energy to do something productive.”

“Having received abundant grace, let us live in gratitude and walk in love. In this way, the blessings entrusted to us will shine forth.”

“If you can remember why you started, then you will know why you must continue.”

“Hold fast to faith; things can change—miraculously, and in your favor.”

“But confining myself more to the particular, I say that a prince may be seen happy to-day and ruined to-morrow without having shown any change of disposition or character. This, I believe, arises firstly from causes that have already been discussed at length, namely, that the prince who relies entirely upon fortune is lost when it changes. I believe also that he will be successful who directs his actions according to the spirit of the times, and that he whose actions do not accord with the times will not be successful. Because men are seen, in affairs that lead to the end which every man has before him, namely, glory and riches, to get there by various methods; one with caution, another with haste; one by force, another by skill; one by patience, another by its opposite; and each one succeeds in reaching the goal by a different method. One can also see of two cautious men the one attain his end, the other fail; and similarly, two men by different observances are equally successful, the one being cautious, the other impetuous; all this arises from nothing else than whether or not they conform in their methods to the spirit of the times. This follows from what I have said, that two men working differently bring about the same effect, and of two working similarly, one attains his object and the other does not.”
