in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures -
and that is the basis of all human morality.

from fighting or dying for America,

on the foxholes or graveyards of battle.

But let us never fear to negotiate.

when the conscientious objector

are not susceptible to a military solution.

And so, my fellow Americans,
ask not what your country can do for you;
ask what you can do for your country.
