America

There is one expanding horror in American life. It is that our long odyssey toward liberty, democracy and freedom-for-all may be achieved in such a way that utopia remains forever closed, and we live in freedom and hell, debased of style, not individual from one another, void of courage, our fear rationalized away.
- Mailer, Norman
America Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about America

1.
By heritage and by choice, the United States of America will make that stand.
George W. Bush

2.
There is nothing wrong with America that the faith, love of freedom, intelligence and energy of her citizens cannot cure.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

3.
We are more thoroughly an enlightened people, with respect to our political interests, than perhaps any other under heaven. Every man among us reads, and is so easy in his circumstances as to have leisure for conversations of improvement and for acquiring information.
Franklin, Benjamin

4.
The ideal American type is perfectly expressed by the Protestant, individualist, anti-conformist, and this is the type that is in the process of disappearing. In reality there are few left.
Welles, Orson

5.
To me Americanism means an imperative duty to be nobler than the rest of the world.
London, Meyer

6.
A people who are still, as it were, but in the gristle, and not yet hardened into the bone of manhood.
Burke, Edmund

7.
Sometimes people call me an idealist. Well, that is the way I know I am an American. America is the only idealistic nation in the world.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

8.
I always consider the settlement of America with reverence and wonder, as the opening of a grand scene and design in providence, for the illumination of the ignorant and the emancipation of the slavish part of mankind all over the earth.
John Adams

9.
America - a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose.
Herbert Hoover

10.
All great change in America begins at the dinner table.
Ronald Reagan

11.
There's the country of America, which you have to defend, but there's also the idea of America. America is more than just a country, it's an idea. An idea that's supposed to be contagious.
Bono

12.
The interesting and inspiring thing about America is that she asks nothing for herself except what she has a right to ask for humanity itself.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

13.
Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels -- men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

14.
What's right about America is that although we have a mess of problems, we have great capacity - intellect and resources - to do some thing about them.
Henry Ford II

15.
The story of Americans is the story of arrested metamorphoses. Those who achieve success come to a halt and accept themselves as they are. Those who fail become resigned and accept themselves as they are.
Rosenberg, Harold

16.
America is a great country, but you can't live in it for nothing.
Rogers, Will

17.
It is a noble land that God has given us: a land that can feed and clothe the world; a land whose coastlines would enclose half the countries of Europe; a land set like a sentinel between the two imperial oceans of the globe.
Beveridge, Albert J.

18.
For other nations, utopia is a blessed past never to be recovered; for Americans it is just beyond the horizon.
Kissinger, Henry

19.
There are no second acts in American lives.
Fitzgerald, F. Scott

20.
The spirit is at home, if not entirely satisfied, in America.
Bloom, Allan

21.
Intellectually, I know that America is no better than any other country; emotionally I know she is better than every other country.
Sinclair Lewis

22.
The most important American addition to the World Experience was the simple surprising fact of America. We have helped prepare mankind for all its later surprises.
Boorstin, Daniel J.

23.
Thank God we're living in a country where the sky's the limit, the stores are open late and you can shop in bed thanks to television.
Rivers, Joan

24.
In America the geography is sublime, but the men are not; the inventions are excellent, but the inventors one is sometimes ashamed of.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

25.
America is a mistake, a giant mistake.
Sigmund Freud

26.
America is a willingness of the heart.

27.
It is always dangerous to generalize, but the American people, while infinitely generous, are a hard and strong race and, but for the few cemeteries I have seen, I am inclined to think they never die.
Asquith, Margot

28.
If you think the United States has stood still, who built The largest shopping center in the world?
Nixon, Richard M.

29.
The biggest difference between ancient Rome and the USA is that in Rome the common man was treated like a dog. In America he sets the tone. This is the first country where the common man could stand erect.
Stone, I. F.

30.
American energy is the energy of violence, of free-floating resentment and anxiety unleashed by chronic cultural dislocations which must be, for the most part, ferociously sublimated. This energy has mainly been sublimated into crude materialism and acquisitiveness. Into hectic philanthropy. Into benighted moral crusades, the most spectacular of which was Prohibition. Into an awesome talent for uglifying countryside and cities. Into the loquacity and torment of a minority of gadflies: artists, prophets, muckrakers, cranks, and nuts. And into self-punishing neuroses. But the naked violence keeps breaking through, throwing everything into question.
Sontag, Susan

31.
America and its demons, Europe and its ghost.
Le Monde

32.
America, we are better than these last eight years. We are a better country than this.
Barack Obama

33.
Double, no triple, our troubles and we'd still be better off than any other people on earth. It is time that we recognized that ours was, in truth, a noble cause.
Reagan, Ronald

34.
I don't measure America by its achievement but by its potential.
Shirley Chisholm

35.
The American people abhor a vacuum.
Roosevelt, Theodore

36.
Deep down, the US, with its space, its technological refinement, its bluff good conscience, even in those spaces which it opens up for simulation, is the only remaining primitive society.
Baudrillard, Jean

37.
Being American is to eat a lot of beef steak, and boy, we've got a lot more beef steak than any other country, and that's why you ought to be glad you're an American. And people have started looking at these big hunks of bloody meat on their plates, you know, and wondering what on earth they think they're doing.
Vonnegut Jr., Kurt

38.
I see America spreading disaster. I see America as a black curse upon the world. I see a long night settling in and that mushroom which has poisoned the world withering at the roots.
Miller, Henry

39.
America is not a young land: it is old and dirty and evil before the settlers, before the Indians. The evil is there waiting.
Burroughs, William S.

40.
The real democratic American idea is, not that every man shall be on a level with every other man, but that every man shall have liberty to be what God made him, without hindrance.
Beecher, Henry Ward

41.
On 16 September 1985, when the Commerce Department announced that the United States had become a debtor nation, the American Empire died.
Vidal, Gore

42.
America is just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable.
Thompson, Hunter S.

43.
America is the world's living myth. There's no sense of wrong when you kill an American or blame America for some local disaster. This is our function, to be character types, to embody recurring themes that people can use to comfort themselves, justify themselves and so on. We're here to accommodate. Whatever people need, we provide. A myth is a useful thing.
Delillo, Don

44.
America -- rather, the United States -- seems to me to be the Jew among the nations. It is resourceful, adaptable, maligned, envied, feared, imposed upon. It is warm-hearted, over-friendly; quick-witted, lavish, colorful; given to extravagant speech and gestures; its people are travelers and wanderers by nature, moving, shifting, restless; swarming in Fords, in ocean liners; craving entertainment; volatile. The chuckle among the nations of the world.
Ferber, Edna

45.
Europe was created by history. America was created by philosophy.
Margaret Thatcher

46.
I see America, not in the setting sun of a black night of despair ahead of us, I see America in the crimson light of a rising sun fresh from the burning, creative hand of God. I see great days ahead, great days possible to men and women of will and vision.
Carl Sandburg

47.
America is a vast conspiracy to make you happy.
John Updike

48.
America does not concern itself now with Impressionism. We own no involved philosophy. The psyche of the land is to be found in its movement. It is to be felt as a dramatic force of energy and vitality. We move; we do not stand still. We have not yet arrived at the stock-taking stage.
Graham, Martha

49.
I just want to say this. I want to say it gently but I want to say it firmly: There is a tendency for the world to say to America, "the big problems of the world are yours, you go and sort them out," and then to worry when America wants to sort them out.
Tony Blair

50.
The trouble with America is that there are far too many wide-open spaces surrounded by teeth.
Charles Luckman
