I look forward to a great future for America, a future in which our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purpose. | look forward to an America which will not be afraid of grace and beauty, which will protect the beauty of our natural environment, which will preserve the great old American houses and squares and parks of our national past, and which will build handsome and balanced cities for our future. | look forward to an America which will reward achievement in the arts as we reward achievement in business or statecraft. | look forward to an America which will steadily raise the standards of artistic accomplishment and which will steadily enlarge cultural opportunities for all of our citizens. And | look forward to an America which commands respect throughout the world not only for its strength but for its civilization as well. And | look forward to a world which will be safe not only for democracy and diversity but also for personal distinction.

    #JFK was assassinated OTD 1963. His last public speech, delivered a month earlier at the groundbreaking for Robert #Frost #Library, Amherst College, is considered one of his greatest.

    Best known for its soaring praise of the artist in society and the call to measure a nation's greatness by its culture rather than power alone, it in fact began with a plea for educated elites to recognize their privilege and "to put back into our society."
