Quote by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis | TrueQuotes

"I can't put it any better than Jackie Kennedy did after the Cuban Missile Crisis. She said that what worried President Kennedy during that very dangerous time was that a war might be started — not by big men with self-control and restraint, but by little men — the ones moved by fear and pride."

— Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
