A short 'Speech' made out of quotes by JFK.

           We, in the long history of the world, think that only a few generations has been what is expected of mankind, and this will be one of those generations, and this is our time, our country, and our responsibility.    We should not be afraid of a crisis for when written in Chinese, the word crisis is composed of two characters.  One represents danger and the other represents opportunity.  In a crisis, be aware of the danger - but recognize the opportunity.  Also, the opportunity to secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.  This enemy is not China, or Russia or even Iraq, but ourselves are the ones of which we should be defending against.  Also forgive you enemies, but remember their names.
Also a nation which has forgotten the quality of courage which in the past has been brought to public life is not as likely to insist upon or regard that quality in its chosen leaders today - and in fact we have forgotten.  I feel that the truth will come soon.  We will be free men soon and all free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of a unified world. And therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words "I am a citizen of this world!”  Now, time and the world do not stand still.  Change is the law of life.  And those who look only into the past or the present are certain to miss the future.  I repeat, are certain to miss the future!

I thought that it was very neat how you took a quote and made it into something totally different but at the same time related. Very nice job.
