John Kennedy actually said...

"This issue separates Mr. Nixon and myself and it separates the Republican and Democratic Parties."

"In my judgment, it wants to be not only a great country, which it is; it wants to be a greater country."

"I hope it is a chance, as it has been in our history, for the United States to make a determination as to what it wants to be and what it must do."

"But if He has a place and a part for us, I believe we are ready."
