Recordar a John. F.
Kennedy es reconocer el liderazgo integral y recordar la vitalidad de los
grandes y más constructivos ideales. Atesorar las lecciones de Kennedy, es
revivir la vigencia de los grandes logros de Puerto Rico en coordinación con el
liderato demócrata (como los avances en máximo gobierno propio compatible con
la unión permanente), la amistad de Luis Muñoz Marín con John F. Kennedy, y la
amistad de Rafael Hernández Colón con Edward “Ted” Kennedy. Hay una trayectoria
que edifica generaciones, y un llamado a perfeccionar esa ruta en el siglo 21.
Dios ilumine a todos.

“La paz del mundo no
exige que cada hombre ame a su prójimo; solamente que ambos vivan juntos,
tolerándose mutuamente, sometiendo sus disputas a un arreglo justo y pacífico”.
--John F. Kennedy

“In the long history of the world,
only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its
hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility—I welcome it.
I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or
any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to
this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it—and the glow from
that fire can truly light the world.
And so, my fellow
Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for
your country.
My fellow
citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together
we can do for the freedom of man.
Finally, whether
you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us the same high
standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience
our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go
forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing
that here on earth God's work must truly be our own”. --John F. Kennedy

“This Nation was founded by men of
many nations and backgrounds. It was founded on the principle that all men are
created equal, and that the rights of every man are diminished when the rights
of one man are threatened”. –John. F. Kennedy

“Reposará en la estepa la equidad, y la justicia morará
en el vergel; el producto de la justicia será la paz, el fruto de la equidad,
una seguridad perpetua”. --Isaías 32:16-17
