Quotations of John-Fitzgerald Kennedy

Here is the question: Can the world seize the opportunity of the upswing to secure the recovery and create a more inclusive economy that works for all?

Addressing Congress in 1962, about a year after the United States emerged from a recession, President Kennedy said: “Pleasant as it may be to bask in the warmth of recovery… the time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.” -- quoted by Christine Lagarde, A time to repair the roof, 4 October 2017.
