Quotes by John F. Kennedy

John F. Kennedy commanded a torpedo boat in the Pacific, won a Pulitzer for a book on political courage, and became the youngest elected American president in 1960. His thousand days included the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban missile crisis, the commitment to the moon and a late turn towards civil rights legislation. He was assassinated in Dallas in November 1963. His inaugural address was written to be quoted, and it has been, continuously, ever since.
