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."

Who said Ask not country can do for you but what you can do for your country?

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."
