Explanation:

This now famous quote of John F. Kennedy was from his Inaugural Address of January 20, 1961. The speech is his presentation of the American nation as a powerful nation and that while there is no plans of going to war, it will if there is any need for defending itself from enemies. This speech is also an encouragement for Americans and all other nations, be it enemies or allies, to work out their problems in a peaceful manner and diplomatically. His tones were full of strength, compassion and also that of giving hope and belief to the people of America to work together.

covert: hidden or secret

candid: truthful and straightforward

what i get from these phrases is covert means undercover or underground and that's where the flower is in april. on the other hand, may is the month where flowers start to bloom and thats the reason why candid is being used as a word to describe the blossoming period of a flower.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
