Find Out Who Your Friends Are


"Forgive Your Enemies, but Never Forget Their Names"

John F. Kennedy


Remember you will always have enemies out there and sometimes it will be easy to forgive them for what they have said or done to you, and sometimes it may no be so easy. However, never forget their names because there will always be a part of you that will remember the event. if you look back and think if they were a true friend or just an acquaitnace, they would't have done what they did or said to become an enemy. People who you think are your friends can be your worse enemy. So that's why it's important to remember their names. The quote means to me with friends who stab you in the back, you don't need enemies. So, therefore you will always remember their names. I had a friend that was suppose to be my best friend and went behind my back and went out with my boyfriend. So, therefore I kinda can forgive her for what she did but I will never forger her name.


John F. Kennedy was born on May 29, 1917 in Massachusetts. Kennedy was a strong advocate in social welfare and civil rights legislation. He was not afraid to stand up for what he believed in. Kennedy went on to argue: "No other challenge is more deserving of our effort and energy... Our security may be lost piece by piece, country by country." Under his leadership, America would be willing to: "pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of liberty." Even though in the first two years of his presidency everything he brought to congress they had blocked.
