Read JFK's inuagural speech today... |
|
"If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich."
What a powerful statement. Most people only remember the "country" line but I think this line is more important.

I hope his soul is resting in peace. Truly a great line. That and the country line are my favorites.

5. Gotta be my all-time favorite speech. Best line: |
|
"Let the word go forth, from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans."
Gets me every time!
