My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.

When you have seven percent unemployed, you have ninety-three percent working.

No President should fear public scrutiny of his program. For from that scrutiny comes understanding; and from that understanding comes support or opposition and both are necessary. I am not asking your newspapers to support the Administration, but I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people. For I have complete confidence in the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are fully informed.

I look forward to an America which will not be afraid of grace and beauty, which will protect the beauty of our natural environment, which will preserve the great old American houses and squares and parks of our national past and which will build handsome and balanced cities for our future.

If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.

The earth, the sea and air are the concern of every nation. And science, technology, and education can be the ally of every nation.

The best way to progress is the path of freedom.
