Quotation Details
- I think there is a law of equity in these disputes. When one party is clearly wrong, it will eventually give way... They had no business putting those missiles in and lying to me about it. They were in the wrong and knew it. So, when we stood firm, they had to back down. But this doesn't mean at all that they would back down when they felt they were in the right and had vital interests involved.
- John F. Kennedy, 29 October 1962, reflecting on the Cuban Missile Crisis to Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.
35th president of US 1961-1963 (1917 - 1963)
