Ask Not What Your Country Can Do for You…

I was in high school during John F. Kennedy’s Presidency.  I was not very aware of politics at that time, but I admired him as a man.  I cried and watched TV coverage for days about his death and funeral.  Kennedy was a brilliant man, and the following JFK quotes tell a great deal about him. 

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.

Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.

I am certain that after the dust of centuries has passed over our cities, we, too, will be remembered not for victories or defeats in battle or in politics but for our contributions to the human spirit.

Victory has a thousand fathers but defeat is an orphan.

Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.

We stand for freedom. That is our conviction for ourselves; that is our only commitment to others.

We must use time as a tool, not as a crutch.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

So, let us not be blind to our differences - but let us also direct attention to our common interests and to the means by which those differences can be resolved.

We need men who can dream of things that never were.

If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.

Liberty without learning is always in peril; learning without liberty is always in vain.

For in the final analysis, our most basic common link, is that we all inhabit this small planet, we all breathe the same air, we all cherish our children`s futures, and we are all mortal.

The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.

Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.

Let us never negotiate out of fear. But, let us never fear to negotiate.

Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind.

Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.
