QUOTATIONS

Memorable quotations of my lifetime



"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."

-John Kennedy, January 20, 1961



This quotation was part of President Kennedy's inaugural address. Of course, it spoke to selfishness. It also spoke to the Peace Corps which was established a year later. But for me, it spoke to a million kids who went to a thankless war in Southeast Asia that he escalated.
