friday, january 20, 1961
vice president johnson, mr.
speaker, mr. chief justice, president eisenhower,
vice
president
nixon,
president
truman,
reverend
clergy,
fellow
citizens,
we
observe
today not a victory
of party, but a celebration of freedom--
symbolizing an end, as
well
as
a
beginning--
signifying
renewal,
as
well
as
change.
for
i
have
sworn
i
before
you
and
almighty
god
the
same
solemn
oath
our
forebears
l
prescribed
nearly
a
century
and
three quarters ago.
let every nation know, whether it
wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any
price, bear any burden, meet any
hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in
order to assure the survival and the
success of liberty.
this much we pledge--and more.
to
those
old
allies
whose
cultural
and
spiritual
origins
we
share,
we
pledge
the
loyalty of faithful friends. united,
there is little we cannot do in a host of
cooperative ventures. divided, there is
little we can do--for we dare not meet a
powerful challenge at odds and split
asunder.
past, those who foolishly sought
power by riding the back of the tiger ended up
inside.
finally,
to
those
nations
who
would
make
themselves
our
adversary,
we
offer
not
a
pledge but a request: that both sides begin anew
the quest for peace, before the
dark
powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf
all humanity in planned or
accidental
self-destruction.
we
dare
not
tempt
them
with
weakness.
for
only
when
our
arms
are
sufficient
beyond
doubt can we be certain beyond doubt
that they will never be employed.
so let us begin anew--remembering
on both sides that civility is not a sign of
weakness, and sincerity is always
subject to proof. let us never negotiate out of
fear. but let us never fear to
negotiate.
let
both
sides
explore
what
problems
unite
us
instead
of
belaboring
those
problems
which divide us.
all this will not be finished in
the first 100 days. nor will it be finished in
the first 1,000 days, nor in the life
of this administration, nor even perhaps in
our lifetime on this planet. but let us
begin.
in
your
hands,
my
fellow
citizens,
more
than
in
mine,
will
rest
the
final
success
or
failure
of
our
course.
since
this
country
was
founded,
each
generation
of
americans
has been summoned
to give testimony to its national loyalty. the
graves of young
americans who answered
the call to service surround the globe.
can
we
forge
against
these
enemies
a
grand
and
global
alliance,
north
and
south,
east
and west, that can assure a more fruitful life for
all mankind? will you join
in that
historic effort?
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
