A Collection of Passages, Phrases, and Proverbs Traced to Their Sources in Ancient and Modern Literature - Compiled by John Bartlett

This tenth edition of 1919 contains over 11,000 searchable quotations and was the first new edition of John Bartlett’s corpus to be published after his death in 1905—the new editor, however, choosing more to supplement than revise the work of the first name in quotations.

Hier kann man nach Zitaten in den folgenden "Collections" suchen:

• Bartlett, John. 1919. Familiar Quotations, 10th ed.
  Including over 11,000 quotations, the first new edition of John Bartlett’s corpus to be published after his death in 1905 keeps most of his original work intact.
  1820-1905, American compiler and publisher, b. Plymouth, Mass. While he worked in his university book store in Cambridge, he compiled the invaluable Familiar Quotations (1855), which ran through nine editions in his lifetime and has been revised and enlarged several times since. Bartlett joined the publishing firm of Little, Brown & Company in 1863 and in 1878 became senior partner. His Shakespeare concordance (1894) is still a standard work.—continue at Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. Copyright © 2002 Columbia University Press.
• The Columbia World of Quotations. 1996.
  The 65,000 essential quotations by 5,000 authors that constitute this authoritative collection represent the research of 154 experts and are divided into 6,500 subjects.

Frage nicht was dein Land für dich tun kann, sondern was du für dein Land tun kannst! (W3)

Ausstellungsrundgang

II. Die Präsidentschaft

"Frage nicht, was dein Land für dich tun kann"

"Es ist Zeit für eine neue Führungsgeneration - neue Männer, die mit den neuen Problemen und den Möglichkeiten klar kommen."

John F. Kennedy, 15. Juli 1960

John F. Kennedy war der jüngste Präsident, der je ins Weiße Haus gewählt wurde. Erst 43 Jahre alt, konnte er glaubwürdig behaupten, eine neue Generation zu vertreten. Besonders junge Menschen fühlten sich persönlich von seinem Aufruf, Pioniere einer New Frontier zu sein, angesprochen. Sie waren bereit, etwas für ihr Land zu tun. Mit dem Peace Corps bot Kennedy ihnen ein symbolträchtiges Betätigungsfeld.
...

Frage nicht was dein Land für dich tun kann sondern was du für dein Land tun kannst!

Veröffentlicht am 16. April 2017 von Alexander Körbel

Dies waren die Worte, mit denen am 20. Januar 1961 John Fitzgerald Kennedy seine erste und letzte Amtszeit als der 35. Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika, der - wie sich später herausstellen sollte - nur 1.036 Tage später durch einen Kopfschuss ein jähes und in seiner politischen Tragik für viele Amerikaner überaus traumatisierendes Ende gesetzt werden sollte, feierlich antrat.
...

...
Als der Millionärssohn John F. Kennedy ein mittelmäßiger und aufsässiger Schüler des Edelinternats Choate war, musste er jedes Semester eine feierliche Ansprache des Rektors über sich ergehen lassen, die George St. John mit der immer gleichen Wendung abschloss: „Frag nicht, was deine Schule für dich tun kann. Frag lieber, was du für deine Schule tun kannst.“

Jahre später erinnerte sich Kennedy an die Wendung, als er seine Rede zur Amtseinführung vorbereitete. Der neue Präsident hatte vor, das Land aufzurüsten und die Kommunisten in die Schranken zu weisen. Die Anti-Castro-Rebellen, die wenig später in der Schweinebucht landen sollten, warteten nur auf den Befehl zum Einsatz. Soziale Reformen hingegen spielten in Kennedys Denken keine Rolle. Und so forderte er seine Mitbürger auf: „Fragt nicht, was euer Land für euch tun kann. Fragt lieber, was ihr für euer Land tun könnt.“
...

„Frage nicht was dein Land für dich tun kann, sondern was du für dein Land tun kannst!“

John F. Kennedy

"§"
Frage nicht, was der Staat für dich machen kann. Frage, was du für den Staat tun kannst! (W3)

das forderte einst John F. Kennedy. Und so ähnlich hat das auch der Bundeskanzler in seiner Regierungserklärung am 29. Oktober 2002 vor dem Bundestag gesagt.
...

(US-Präsident John F. Kennedy bei seiner Amtseinführung). Denkwürdige Worte, die zum Nachdenken anregen dürften.

The only good Indian is a dead Indian (W3)

...
This anecdotal paragraph with its author's obvious delight in telling the gruesomely "humorous" event appears of questionable authenticity at first. It is, of course, understandable that General Philip Sheridan (1831-1888) repeatedly denied having made such a statement, but there is no doubt that Sheridan was known as a bigot and Indian hater, as the historian Paul Andrew Hutton has shown in a chapter of his book on Phil Sheridan and His Army (1985) so appropriately called "Forming Military Indian Policy: 'The Only Good Indian Is a Dead Indian'."
...

...
Was die Samniten anlangt, so erklärte der Diktator, daß Rom nicht Ruhe haben werde, solange Samnium bestehe, und daß darum der samnitische Name von der Erde vertilgt werden müsse; und wie er diese Worte an den vor Rom und in Praeneste Gefangenen in schrecklicher Weise wahr machte, so scheint er auch noch einen Verheerungszug durch die Landschaft unternommen, Aesernia 7 eingenommen (674? 80) und die bis dahin blühende und bevölkerte Landschaft in die Einöde umgewandelt zu haben, die sie seitdem geblieben ist.
...

...
Strabon, der drei Generationen später durch die Landschaften Samniums wanderte, hielt fest, was der sullanische Kreuzzug diesem Land angetan hatte: „Sulla ruhte nicht eher, bis er alle, die den Namen Samniten führten, ermordet oder aus Italien vertrieben hatte; denen aber, die einen so weit getriebenen Zorn tadelten, sagte er, er habe sich durch die Erfahrung überzeugt, dass auch nicht ein Römer jemals Frieden haben werde, solange die Samniten als ein selbständiges Volk weiterbestünden“. Für Strabon war dieses Ziel so konsequent erreicht worden, dass er keiner einzigen der noch verbliebenen Ortschaften Samniums den Namen „Stadt“ zubilligen wollte. Der Philosoph Seneca zog Sulla in seinen Abhandlungen über die Milde des Herrschers als abschreckendes Beispiel heran und bezeichnete ihn wegen seiner Massentötungen als Tyrann. Plutarch warf Sulla vor, sich selbst zum Diktator ernannt und somit einen Verfassungsbruch begangen zu haben.
...

Samniten, ein zur oskisch-umbrischen Sprachgruppe gehörendes Volk der Italiker in Mittel- und Süditalien; von den Römern in drei schweren Kriegen (343-341; 326-304; 298-290 v. Chr.) besiegt. Im Bundesgenossenkrieg stellten sich die Samniten an die Spitze der aufständischen Italiker; sie wurden 82 v. Chr. von Sulla endgültig unterworfen, der 6000 Samniten, die sich ergeben hatten, an einem Tag hinrichten ließ.
