"Unconditional war can no longer lead to unconditional victory. It can no longer serve to settle disputes. It can no longer be of concern to great powers alone. For a nuclear disaster, spread by winds and waters and fear, could well engulf the great and the small, the rich and the poor, the committed and the uncommitted alike. Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind."	John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"I hear it said that West Berlin is militarily untenable-and so was Bastogne, and so, in fact, was Stalingrad. Any danger spot is tenable if men-brave men-will make it so."	John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans, born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today, at home and around the world!"	John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses."	John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"I look forward to an America which will not be afraid of grace and beauty."	John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"The future does not belong to those who are content with today, apathetic toward common problems and their fellow man alike, timid and fearful in the face of bold projects and new ideas. Rather, it will belong to those who can blend passion, reason and courage in a personal commitment to the ideals of American society."	Robert Francis Kennedy
"You can't make war in the Middle East without Egypt and you can't make peace without Syria."	Robert Francis Kennedy
"Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind."	John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Jr
"If you live among dogs, keep a stick. After all, this is what a hound has teeth for-to bite when he feels like it!" (On military preparedness)"	Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev
"Adversity draws men together and produces beauty and harmony in life's relationships, just as the cold of winter produces ice-flowers on the window-panes, which vanish with the warmth."	Søren Aaby Kierkegaard
"Life can only be understood backward, but it must be lived forward."	Søren Aaby Kierkegaard
"A man who as a physical being is always turned toward the outside, thinking that his happiness lies outside him, finally turns inward and discovers that the source is within him."	Søren Aaby Kierkegaard
"I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Councilor or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: 'I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action'; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for someone else's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a 'more convenient season.'"	Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Look at the bow in the cloud, in the very rain itself. That is a sign that the sun, though you cannot see it, is shining still -- that up above beyond the cloud is still sunlight and warmth and cloudless blue sky."	Charles Kingsley
"It is only the great hearted who can be true friends. The mean and cowardly, Can never know what true friendship means."	Charles Kingsley
"If peace is equated simply with the absence of war, it can become abject pacifism that turns the world over to the most ruthless."	Henry Alfred Kissinger
"The conventional army loses if it does not win. The guerrilla wins if he does not lose."	Henry Alfred Kissinger
"The Vietnam War required us to emphasize the national interest rather than abstract principles. ... What President Nixon and I tried to do was unnatural. And that is why we didn't make it."	Henry Alfred Kissinger
"The purpose of all higher education is to make men aware of what was and what is; to incite them to probe into what may be. It seeks to teach them to understand, to evaluate, to communicate."	Otto Kleppner
"Wars were not made by generations and their special stupidities, but that wars were made instead by something ignorant in the human heart."	John Knowles
