John Fitzgerald Kennedy Zitate
seite 11

John Fitzgerald „Jack“ Kennedy , häufig auch bei seinen Initialen JFK genannt, war von 1961 bis 1963 der 35. Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. In seine Amtszeit während der Hochphase des Kalten Krieges fielen historische Ereignisse wie die Invasion in der Schweinebucht, die Kubakrise, der Bau der Berliner Mauer, der Beginn der bemannten Raumfahrt, die Eskalation des Vietnamkriegs sowie die Zeit des zivilen Ungehorsams der afroamerikanischen Bürgerrechtsbewegung.

Kennedy war Mitglied der Demokratischen Partei und der erste US-Präsident römisch-katholischer Konfession. Wegen seines jungen Alters und seines Charismas verkörperte er für viele die Hoffnung auf eine Erneuerung der USA. Die Hintergründe seiner Ermordung 1963 sind bis heute in der Öffentlichkeit umstritten.

„Die Energie, der Glaube, die Hingabe, die wir diesem Unterfangen widmen, werden leuchten in unserem Land und in allen, die ihm dienen – und der Schein dieses Feuers kann wahrhaftig ein Licht sein für die Welt. Und deshalb, meine amerikanischen Mitbürger: Fragt nicht, was euer Land für euch tun kann - fragt, was ihr für euer Land tun könnt. Meine Mitbürger in der ganzen Welt: Fragt nicht, was Amerika für euch tun wird, sondern fragt, was wir gemeinsam tun können für die Freiheit des Menschen.“

John Fitzgerald Kennedy: Zitate auf Englisch

“We can say with some assurance that, although children may be the victims of fate, they will not be the victims of our neglect.”

"Remarks upon signing the Maternal and Child Health and Mental Retardation Planning Bill (434)" (24 October 1963)]
1963

“These burdens and frustrations are accepted by most Americans with maturity and understanding. They may long for the days when war meant charging up San Juan Hill-or when our isolation was guarded by two oceans — or when the atomic bomb was ours alone — or when much of the industrialized world depended upon our resources and our aid. But they now know that those days are gone — and that gone with them are the old policies and the old complacency's. And they know, too, that we must make the best of our new problems and our new opportunities, whatever the risk and the cost.
But there are others who cannot bear the burden of a long twilight struggle. They lack confidence in our long-run capacity to survive and succeed. Hating communism, yet they see communism in the long run, perhaps, as the wave of the future. And they want some quick and easy and final and cheap solution — now.
There are two groups of these frustrated citizens, far apart in their views yet very much alike in their approach. On the one hand are those who urge upon us what I regard to be the pathway of surrender-appeasing our enemies, compromising our commitments, purchasing peace at any price, disavowing our arms, our friends, our obligations. If their view had prevailed, the world of free choice would be smaller today.
On the other hand are those who urge upon us what I regard to be the pathway of war: equating negotiations with appeasement and substituting rigidity for firmness. If their view had prevailed, we would be at war today, and in more than one place.
It is a curious fact that each of these extreme opposites resembles the other. Each believes that we have only two choices: appeasement or war, suicide or surrender, humiliation or holocaust, to be either Red or dead. Each side sees only "hard" and "soft" nations, hard and soft policies, hard and soft men. Each believes that any departure from its own course inevitably leads to the other: one group believes that any peaceful solution means appeasement; the other believes that any arms build-up means war. One group regards everyone else as warmongers, the other regards everyone else as appeasers. Neither side admits that its path will lead to disaster — but neither can tell us how or where to draw the line once we descend the slippery slopes of appeasement or constant intervention.
In short, while both extremes profess to be the true realists of our time, neither could be more unrealistic. While both claim to be doing the nation a service, they could do it no greater disservice. This kind of talk and easy solutions to difficult problems, if believed, could inspire a lack of confidence among our people when they must all — above all else — be united in recognizing the long and difficult days that lie ahead. It could inspire uncertainty among our allies when above all else they must be confident in us. And even more dangerously, it could, if believed, inspire doubt among our adversaries when they must above all be convinced that we will defend our vital interests.
The essential fact that both of these groups fail to grasp is that diplomacy and defense are not substitutes for one another. Either alone would fail. A willingness to resist force, unaccompanied by a willingness to talk, could provoke belligerence — while a willingness to talk, unaccompanied by a willingness to resist force, could invite disaster.”

1961, Address at the University of Washington

“I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.”

Address at a White House dinner honoring Nobel Prize winners (29 April 1962), quoted in The White House Diary, at the JFK Library http://www.jfklibrary.org/white%20house%20diary/1962/April/29
1962

“I'm always rather nervous about how you talk about women who are active in politics, whether they want to be talked about as women or as politicians.”

Quoted in Bill Adler, "The Presidency," The Wit of President Kennedy (1964).

[JFK was speaking]...To a group of women delegates to the United Nations who had suggested that there might one day be a woman President.
