In Their Own Words
Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.
The future is not something which will be presented to us as a gift; it is something which we must shape for ourselves.
A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on.

The Question of Our Time
What would John F. Kennedy say about political polarization and national unity in 2026?
The great strength of our republic has always been our capacity to find common ground, not in the absence of disagreement, but despite it. Today, as in my time, we face the choice between division born of fear and unity born of shared purpose. I believed that the American people were capable of more than their politicians often gave them credit for—capable of understanding complexity, of supporting sacrifice for a greater good. The test is not whether we agree on everything, but whether we can commit ourselves to something larger than party or faction.
