More From John F. Kennedy

I really don't know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except i think it is because in addition to the fact that the sea changes and the light changes, and ships change, it is because we all came from the sea. and it is an interesting biological fact that all of us have, in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. we are tied to the ocean. and when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch it we are going back from whence we came.
Ocean Thinking Light
What is there in places empty of matter? and whence is it that the sun and planets gravitate toward one another without dense matter between them? whence is it that nature doth nothing in vain? and whence arises all that order and beauty which we see in the world? to what end are comets? and whence is it that planets move all one and the same way in orbs concentrick, while comets move all manner of ways in orbs very excentrick? and what hinders the fixed stars from falling upon one another?
Stars Moving Fall
I cannot cause light; the most i can do is try to put myself in the path of its beam. it is possible, in deep space, to sail on solar wind. light, be it particle or wave, has force: you can rig a giant sail and go. the secret of seeing is to sail on solar wind. hone and spread your spirit till you yourself are a sail, whetted, translucent, broadside to the merest puff

Coral reefs, the rain forest of the ocean, are home for one-third of the species of the sea. coral reefs are under stress for several reasons, including warming of the ocean, but especially because of ocean acidification, a direct effect of added carbon dioxide. ocean life dependent on carbonate shells and skeletons is threatened by dissolution as the ocean becomes more acid.
Stress Rain Ocean
But in a way you can say that after leaving the sea, after all those millions of years of living inside of the sea, we took the ocean with us. when a woman makes a baby, she gives it water, inside her body, to grow in. that water inside her body is almost exactly the same as the water of the sea. it is salty, by just the same amount. she makes a little ocean, in her body. and not only this. our blood and our sweating, they are both salty, almost exactly like the water from the sea is salty. we carry oceans inside of us, in our blood and our sweat. and we are crying the oceans, in our tears.
Baby Ocean Sweat
We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people. for space science, like nuclear science and technology, has no conscience of its own. whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man, and only if the united states occupies a position of preeminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war.

It is always better to avenge dear ones than to indulge in mourning. for every one of us, living in this world means waiting for our end. let whoever can win glory before death. when a warrior is gone, that will be his best and only bulwark.

No one is going to question my commitment to the defence of our nation. i don't know what it is these republicans, who didn't serve in any war, have against those of us who are democrats who did.
