More from John F. Kennedy

• A city of southern efficiency and northern charm.
• All of us do not have equal talent, but all of us should have an equal opportunity to develop our talents.
• A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on.
• Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.
• Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men.
• 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 here alone.
