Space – "We choose to go to the moon…"
Civil Rights – "We are confronted with a moral issue, old as scripture and as clear as the American Constitution."
The Berlin Wall – "Freedom is indivisible when one man is enslaved, all are not free. Ich bin ein Berliner."
The Arts – "I look forward to an America which will reward achievement in the Arts, as we reward achievements in business or statecraft."
And then he acted.
