'....ask not what your country can do for youÑask what you can do for your country.'The preceding quotation comes at the end of President John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Speech given on January 20, 1961.
Ask not what your country can do for you, but rather ask what you can do for your country.
"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country."
"And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you -- ask what you can do for your country." is a quote from the Inaugural Address given by President John Fitzgerald Kennedy on January 20, 1961.
That is a quote from John Kennedy.
That is not the correct quote. John F. Kennedy said "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."
From his innaugural adress: "And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."
I don't know for sure but President John F. Kennedy is often attributed to this quote. yes, its Kennedy, not Churchill.
This was part of John F. Kennedy's inaugural address. The famous quote is, "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country." The address was delivered on January 20, 1961.
Well his most well known quote is from his inaugural address. In it he states, "Ask not what your country can do for you -- but what you can do for your country."
"ask not what your country can do for you, askwhat you can do for your country," is Kennedy's most famous quote. Others said virtually the same thing before he did, but his quote is one that people remember. I am not sure that it is the most important line in his speeches.
And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put and end to mankind.
The quote belongs to John F. Kennedy. If your history starts in 1961 maybe, but Cicero had spelled that quote 2000 years before.
