2.0 / 1 vote

To 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 votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.

    a aquellas personas en las chozas y aldeas de la mitad del mundo que luchan por romper los lazos de la miseria masiva, prometemos nuestros mejores esfuerzos para ayudarlos a ayudarse a sí mismos, durante el período que sea necesario, no porque los comunistas lo estén haciendo, no porque buscan sus votos, pero porque es lo correcto. si una sociedad libre no puede ayudar a los muchos pobres, no puede salvar a los pocos ricos.
