CHILDREN: "Children are the world's most valuable resource and its best hope for the future."

EQUALITY: "All of us do not have equal talent, but all of us should have an equal opportunity to develop our talents."

ACTION: "There are risks and costs to a program of action, but they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction." and "Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction."

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

MORALITY: "A man does what he must - in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures - and that is the basis of all human morality."

DREAMERS: " The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were.

EDUCATION: "Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource." and "Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation."

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

CIVIL RIGHTS: "This Nation was founded by men of many nations and backgrounds. It was founded on the principle that all men are created equal, and that the rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened."

THE INDIVIDUAL: "One person can make a difference and every person should try." and "Things do not happen. Things are made to happen."

Here is a selection written by Sherry Fiester, accompanied by Debra Conway (both of JFK Lancer) about truth:

Another type of movie about me was the home movie; and the most controversial is the Zapruder film.

On September26, 1960, more than 70 million viewers tuned in to watch me and Vice President Richard Nixon in the first-ever televised presidential debate. It was the first of four televised "Great Debates" between us. The first debate centered on domestic issues. The high point of the second debate, on 7 October, was disagreement over U.S. involvement in two small islands off the coast of China, and on 13 October. On 21 October, the final debate, the we focused on American relations with Cuba.

The second was my Inaugural Address. I remember saying " In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.

Now the trumpet summons us again -- not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need -- not as a call to battle, though embattled we are -- but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, "rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation,"² a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.

I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it. And the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

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.

Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own."

I have long been interested in the topic of political courage, beginning with my senior thesis at Harvard. The thesis, later published as Why England Slept, was a study of the failure of British political leaders in the 1930s to oppose popular resistance to rearming, leaving the country ill-prepared for World War II. My election to the House in 1946 and the Senate in 1952 gave me personal experience in dealing with the conflicting pressures that legislators face. When I took a leave of absence from the Senate in 1954 to recover from back surgery, it gave me the opportunity to study the topic of political courage. The project resulted in the publication of Profiles in Courage, which focuses on the careers of eight Senators whom I felt had shown great courage under enormous pressure from their parties and their constituents. The point I sought to make is not about how heroes are made of different stuff than others. This book is about how human beings can, in a time of moral crisis, find the courage to follow their own truth in the face of opposition. Profiles in Courage was Awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1957.

I replied "It was absolutely involuntary. They sank my boat." JFK
