From the Warren G. Harding Ohio Historical Website: In 1916, Senator Warren Harding spoke at the Republican national convention. It was June and the Republican's were looking for something to improve their chances of winning the White House. Harding brought the convention to its feet with his stirring speech. One of the phrases Harding used in his speech, are engraved on the pedestal of a sundial in the backyard of Harding's home in Marion. That phrase reads: "We must have a citizenship less concerned about what the government can do for it... and more concerned about what it can do for the nation." Warren G. Harding Does that phrase sound familiar? It should. President Kennedy in January 1961 used the same thought when he said: "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country." John F. Kennedy

Harding, Speech at the Republican National Convention, Chicago, Illinois (7 June, 1916)"Are you a politician asking what your country can do for you or a zealous one asking what you can do for your country? If you are the first, then you are a parasite; if the second, then you are an oasis in a desert." - Khalil Gibran, The New Frontier(1925), translated from ArabicThe earliest incarnation of the quote purportedly came from the ancient Roman orator Cicero, in the first century B.C., translated from Latin.
