From what historical records I have read about the Kennedy brothers they didn't follow their words. A lot of scary things happened under John Kennedy (he would have a lot of explaining to do today for his womanizing) and a lot of things about both brothers were covered up (few know of the real details behind the Cuban Missile Crisis).

The point being is that we need to look beyond lofty words. It is too easy to be lulled into complacency and get blindsided by real events. The tRump crowd use lots of hype to appeal to their followers and, unfortunately, it works. We need to all question (hence this site) all the time. What's the saying? if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I don't have any quotes to quote (although I'm pretty sure somebody important said something like this before I did) but the message I'd like to share is that it's better to be oriented toward something than away from something.
