John F Kennedy's Inaugural Address

January 20,1961
VICE President Johnson, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Chief Justice, President Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon, PresidentTYuman, 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 swom before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago.
The world is very different now. For man holds in his monal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe-the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the stale but from the hand of God.
We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this lime and place, to friend and foe alike, dial the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans-bom in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient hcri-lage-and unwilling to witness or pennit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.
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 to assure the survival and tire success of liberty. This much we plcdge-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 al odds and split asunder.
To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom-and to remember that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.
7b those people in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required-not because the Communists may be doing it, not because we seek their voles, but because il is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.
To our sister republics south of our border, we offer a special
pledge-to convert oUr good words into good deeds-in a new alliance for progress-to assist free men and free governments in casting off the chains of poverty. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers. Let all our neighbors know that we shall join with them to oppose aggression or subversion anywhere in die Americas. And let every other power know that diis hemisphere intends lo remain the master of its own
house.
To that world assembly of sovereign stales, the United Nations, our last best hope in an age where the instruments of war have far outpaced the instruments of peace, we renew our pledge of support-lo prevent it from becoming merely a forum for invective-to strengthen its shield of die new and the weak-and to enlarge the area in which its writ may run.
Finally, to diose nations who would make themselves our adver-
