More from John F. Kennedy
While we shall never weary in the defense of freedom, neither shall we ever abandon the pursuit of peace.
The modern globe is too small, its weapons are too destructive, and its disorders are too contagious to permit any other kind of victory.
Through hot wars and cold, through recession and prosperity, through the ages of the atom and outer space, the American people have never faltered and their faith has never flagged.
For we seek not the worldwide victory of one nation or system but a worldwide victory of man.
