John F. Kennedy, Inaugural address, January 20, 1961

US Democratic politician (1917 - 1963)

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

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.

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