“[M]y fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.”
“Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”
“It means we must work to get people an oar.”
