More from John F. Kennedy

If at times our actions seem to make life difficult for others, it is only because history has made life difficult for us all.

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

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

If they choose peaceful competition, they shall have it.
