Quotes from the JFK speech that came to be known as “The New Frontier”
"The New Frontier of which I speak is not a set of promises– it is a set of challenges. It sums up not what I intend to offer the American people, but what I intend to ask of them."
Their motto was not "every man for himself"–but "all for the common cause."
"Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed."
Recall with me the words of Isaiah: "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary."
As we face the coming challenge, we too, shall wait upon the Lord, and ask that he renew our strength. Then shall we be equal to the test. Then we shall not be weary. And then we shall prevail.
