Khrushchev was so impressed with this speech, he allowed it to be printed in it’s entirety, uncensored, in the Soviet Union’s official state newspaper “Pravda”.
-
"Our problems are man-made, therefore they can be solved by man."
-
I'm 76. This brought me to tears.
-
The world need to hear this now more than ever.
-
Listen to this man speak. Then turn on your television, watch, listen, and meditate on just how far we have fallen as a country.
-
Yes, there were once leaders who made brilliant insightful statements like this one.
-
Soul moving... war is never inevitable.. Makes you cry just to hear someone speak of peace, when the last twenty years have been spent in continuous war. 🦋🙏
-
He probably wrote this himself. Damn. I wish we had men like this today. Watch it all. Not sure people know about his WWII service and survival. A very rich kid, surviving battle, risking his life for our country. God bless you JFK.
-
This is just brilliant. “If man made the problem, man can solve the problem” is such a good analogy too.
-
"For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal." This line never fails to give me chills. It’s the true climax to what I (and many others, including Ted Sorensen, JFK’s speech writer) consider Kennedy’s greatest speech.
-
What a gift to this country. He was taken but he lives in these films. I will always remember and honor this great man.
-
I am 70 and this speech still resonates. Whatever JFK’s faults, I would rather have him our President today than anyone from either party.
-
Didn’t expect his voice to sound so... normal
-
"We won't start a war" ... And then someone realized he had to be removed.
-
we're alive today because this man and khrushchev were smart enough to step back from the brink
-
Words needed today. Who could be this brave ???
-
wait he doesnt sound like in clone high
-
"World peace does not require that man loves thy neighbor, but only that they live together in mutual tolerance" - This falls on death ears these days.
-
And to think that this exceptional person only had about 5 months left to lead our country RIP MR. PRESIDENT This so saddened me....I remember when I 1st heard of this great man's death. I was with my beautiful Grandmother.
