Kennedy Quotes

Being the youngest President of the United States, John F. Kennedy brought forth new political ideals. His actions firmly established America's supremacy in world politics. His inaugural address is still fresh in public memory. Probably the most famous line from that address is, "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." These Kennedy quotes renew our faith in democracy.
