“Just like moons and suns,
With certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.”

“A rising tide lifts all the boats”
John F. Kennedy (1917–1963) 35th president of the United States of America
Remarks in Heber Springs, Arkansas, at the Dedication of Greers Ferry Dam (3 October 1963) http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=9455<br>Variant: Rising tide lifts all boats.<br> Remarks in Pueblo, Colorado following Approval of the Frying Pan-Arkansas Project (336)" (17 August 1962) http://www.jfklibrary.org/Research/Research-Aids/Ready-Reference/JFK-Quotations.aspx<!-- Public Papers of the President: John F. Kennedy, 1962 --> <br class="br">1963 <br class="br">Context: As this State's income rises, so does the income of Michigan. As the income of Michigan rises, so does the income of the United States. A rising tide lifts all the boats and as Arkansas becomes more prosperous so does the United States and as this section declines so does the United States. So I regard this as an investment by the people of the United States in the United States.
“If the rising tide fails to lift all boats, resentments will increase.”
