More from John F. Kennedy

For we seek not the worldwide victory of one nation or system but a worldwide victory of man.

While we shall never weary in the defense of freedom, neither shall we ever abandon the pursuit of peace.

Today we still welcome those winds of change--and we have every reason to believe that our tide is running strong.

Today the United Nations is primarily the protector of the small and the weak, and a safety valve for the strong.
