More From John F. Kennedy

What have we got here in america that we believe we cannot live without? we have the most varied and imaginative bathrooms in the world, we have kitchens with the most gimmicks, we have houses with every possible electrical gadget to save ourselves all kinds of trouble - all so that we can have leisure. leisure, leisure, leisure! so that we don't go mad in the leisure, we have color tv. so that there will never, never, be a moment of silence, we have radio and muzak. we can't stand silence, because silence includes thinking. and if we thought, we would have to face ourselves.

Many concerns now make part or the whole of their dividends from by-products that formerly went to waste. how do we, as individuals, utilize our principal by-product? our principal by-product is, of course, our leisure time. many years of observation forces the conclusion that a man's success or failure in life is determined as much by how he acts during his leisure as by how he acts during his work hours. tell me how a young man spends his evenings and i will tell you how he is likely to spend the latter part of his life.
Men Years Waste
Work and leisure are complementary parts of the same living process and cannot be separated without destroying the joy of work and the bliss of leisure.
Joy Leisure Bliss
What was more needed by this old man who divided the leisure hours of his life, where he had so little leisure, between gardening in the daytime, and contemplation at night? was not this narrow enclosure, with the sky for a background, enough to enable him to adore god in his most beautiful as well as in his most sublime works? indeed, is not that all, and what more can be desired? a little garden to walk, and immensity to reflect upon. at his feet something to cultivate and gather; above his head something to study and meditate upon: a few flowers on the earth, and all the stars in the sky.

The grand duke [of tuscany] ...after observing the medicaean plants several times with me ... has now invited me to attach myself to him with the annual salary of one thousand florins, and with the title of philosopher and principal mathematicial to his highness; without the duties of office to perform, but with the most complete leisure; so that i can complete my treatises.

It takes intelligence and training, self-discipline and fine-sensibility, to gain renewed life through leisure occupation. america now suffers spiritual poverty, and art must become more fully american life before her leisure can become culture.

I believe deeply that we must find, all of us together, a new spirituality.

Real spiritual journey in life is the discovery of self. i think once you take all the religious bullshit away from jesus christ, it's saying it's about this journey of discovering who you are, and what's really important in life is simply love. that the journey of civilization, the journey of understanding, is forgiveness, is empathy. and that's what humanity is striving for.
Spiritual Religious Jesus
The intellectual quest is exquisite like pearls and coral, but it is not the same as the spiritual quest. the spiritual quest is on another level altogether, spiritual wine has a subtler taste. the intellect and the senses investigate cause and effect. the spiritual seeker surrenders to the wonder.
