To judge the character of a country, we should not only look at the kind of people it cultivates, but also look at the kind of people its people choose to pay tribute to and remember.

"For in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's futures. And we are all mortal."

My dear fellow citizens, ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.

Life is full of uncertainties, and those who only cling to the past or the present will miss the future.

I am deeply honored to be invited to Berlin by your respected mayor, whose name is known around the world for the spirit of West Berlin. I am also honored to visit the Federal Republic of Germany in the company of your Excellency the Chancellor, whose efforts to promote German democracy, freedom and prosperity are known to all. I am even more honored to be here with General Clay, my distinguished colleague who has been here with Berlin through thick and thin, and who will stand by us if needed!

Two thousand years ago, the proudest declaration of an era was: "I am a Roman citizen." Today, in the free world, the strongest voice resounding throughout the universe is: "Ich bin ein Berliner. I am a Berliner!"

There are many people in this world who do not understand, or simply do not know, the difference between the free world and the communist countries - let them come to Berlin. There are many people in this world who say that communism is the wave of the future.

Fellow citizens of the United States, make no mistake: we are embarking on a difficult and dangerous new era. None of us can foresee with certainty what the road will hold. What price we will pay, how many lives will be lost. For months our patience and our resolve will be tested, and threats and denunciations will warn us of the danger. But the greatest danger is inaction. Our goal is not to conquer by force, but by virtue. Not to buy peace at the cost of liberty, but to achieve both in this hemisphere and in the world. God willing, we can achieve our goal.

A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on.

We have decided to go to the moon in this decade, and to achieve many more, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, but because it is a goal that will push us to the best of our organization and test our best capabilities, because it is a challenge we are happy to accept, because it is a challenge we will not postpone, because it is a challenge we are determined to achieve, and so are the others.

Today, we are all Berliners!
