Respectfully Quoted: A Dictionary of Quotations. 1989.

 
NUMBER: 1092
AUTHOR: John Fitzgerald Kennedy (1917–63)
QUOTATION: There is always inequity in life. Some men are killed in a war and some men are wounded, and some men never leave the country, and some men are stationed in the Antarctic and some are stationed in San Francisco. It’s very hard in military or in personal life to assure complete equality. Life is unfair.
