More from John F. Kennedy

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

If they choose peaceful competition, they shall have it.

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

The modern globe is too small, its weapons are too destructive, and its disorders are too contagious to permit any other kind of victory.
