John F Kennedy and the attitude of gratitude

I was not born yet when President Kennedy was struck down by the bullet in 1963. Yet every time that I read about our country during that period, I am inspired and filled with so much gratitude for those that came before me. With that spirit of gratitude, here are some of President Kennedy's nuggets of wisdom:

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them

Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.

Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.

A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone !
