More from John F. Kennedy

If they choose peaceful competition, they shall have it.

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

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

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