It was 42 years ago today that John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 35th President of the United States, was murdered in Dallas, Texas.

The men who create power make an indispensable contribution to the Nation’s greatness, but the men who question power make a contribution just as indispensable, especially when that questioning is disinterested, for they determine whether we use power or power uses us.

The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all.
-John F. Kennedy, speech at Vanderbilt University, May 18, 1963

And so, my fellow americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.
-John F. Kennedy, Inaugural address, January 20, 1961

You and your profoundly humane vision are missed.
