John F. Kennedy was not a perfect man by any means, but he helped to keep Communism from over taking the free world. He also sought to bring about equal rights for all races and religions in the United States. Also, John sought to guide his country away from control of international bankers (the Federal Reserve, which is neither) by issuing new American controlled bank notes. He was a war hero and inspired a generation to live unselfishly. "Things do not happen. Things are made to happen." JFK
John F. Kennedy was not a perfect man by any means, but he helped to keep Communism from over taking the free world. He also sought to bring about equal rights for all races and religions in the United States. Also, John sought to guide his country away from control of international bankers (the Federal Reserve, which is neither) by issuing new American controlled bank notes. He was a war hero and inspired a generation to live unselfishly. His death came way too soon. May he rest in peace. Here are his words. Some times they will motivate us, at other times they are very prophetic and yet still during other times they will entertain us.

"A child miseducated is a child lost."

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

"A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people."

"A nation which has forgotten the quality of courage which in the past has been brought to public life is not as likely to insist upon or regard that quality in its chosen leaders today, and in fact we have forgotten."

"A young man who does not have what it takes to perform military service is not likely to have what it takes to make a living. Today's military rejects include tomorrow's hard-core unemployed."

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

"Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future."

"Communism has never come to power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both." Note: President Obama's Marxism has come to this country during a time of two wars and much governmental corruption. Mark these words well.

"Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth."

"Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men."

"Do you realize the responsibility I carry? I'm the only person standing between Richard Nixon and the White House."

"Domestic policy can only defeat us; foreign policy can kill us."

"Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction."

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

"If anyone is crazy enough to want to kill a president of the United States, he can do it. All he must be prepared to do is give his life for the president's."

"In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility. I welcome it."

"Israel was not created in order to disappear. Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom."

"It is an unfortunate fact that we can secure peace only by preparing for war."

"The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie, deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive and unrealistic."

"The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all."

"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

"My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."

"There is always inequality in life. Some men are killed in a war and some men are wounded and some men never leave the country. Life is unfair."

"Things do not happen. Things are made to happen." John F. Kennedy

"Semper Fidelis" (Always Faithful) The Marine Corps motto is this since 1883. Often Marines simply say Semper Fi. It is a shortened form of the Latin "Semper Fidelis" which in English, translates to "Always Faithful." In other words, a Marine should strive to be "always faithful" to the Marine Corp. Many marines are devout Christians. And thus, they also strive to remain always faithful and motivated to serve the Lord Jesus Christ as well. I know this fact firsthand, for I was once one. "Gloria Deo Semper."
