John Kennedy actually said...

"One of the great things about this country has been that our most extraordinary accomplishments have not come from the Government down, or from the top down, but have come from the bottom up."

"I want to express pleasure to see all of these flowers blooming in your hair."

"The most significant guest at our dinner for the Grand Duchess the other night was not the Grand Duchess or the Duke or the Chief Justice, but Dr. Spock who was standing by!"

"In honoring you, we honor all those who bear arms in the service of their country."
