No it was john f. kennedy
No, that was John F. Kennedy. Kennedy said this in his innaugural address. However, it is basically a paraphrase of a quote from Oliver Wendel Holmes, who said: "It is now the moment ...to recall what our country has done for each of us, and to ask ourselves what we can do for our country in return." From Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.'s Memorial Day address in Keene, New Hampshire, on May 30, 1884.
If your just friends, just ask. If your BF/GF then just ask. If you have a nervous crush on him and are afraid of his reaction, just say how you feel and ask if you can hang out at his house a while. Either ways, Just Ask!! Don't be afraid to show how you feel either.
All I can say is don't ask the goats.
JFK John Fitzgerald Kennedy
FDR died in 1945 you dimwit. 1961 was JFK's inauguration. I've heard that FDR said it first, but I can't find any reliable sources to back that up besides my high school history teacher.
JFK is credited with many famous quotes. One of his most ironic was, "Ich bin ein Berliner," literally translated, "I am a jelly filled donut." What he was trying to say though was that he related so closely to the people of Berlin, Germany that he felt as if he was one of them, which they understood and roared with applause in response.
"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."
No, it was President John F. Kennedy who said, 'And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country.' in his inaugural address on January 20, 1961.
'....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.
President John F. Kennedy said "Ask not what your country can do for you" during his inaugural address on January 20, 1961.
It has been said that JFK lifted the line from George St John, his old headmaster at Choate School in Connecticut,who used to say, 'The youth who loves his Alma Mater will always ask not "what can she do for me?" but "what can I do for her?"'However, as the initial drafts of JFK's speeches were written by his speechwriter Ted Sorensen, it's more likely that he got the idea from a 1916 speech by President Harding, when he said,"In the great fulfillment, we must have a citizenship less concerned about what the government can do for it, and more anxious about what it can do for the nation."
No it was john f. kennedy
If you give the author or speaker credit. Like i cant just say, Ask what you can do for your country, not what your country can do for you. i would have to put it like this. "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country"- John F. Kennedy. Basically you have to put it in quotations and give the speaker credit.
