America Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about America

1.
You Europeans know nothing about America. Because we amass large fortunes you think we care for nothing but money. We are nothing for it; the moment we have it we spend it, sometimes well, sometimes ill, but we spend it. Money is nothing to us; it's merely the symbol of success. We are the greatest idealists in the world; I happen to think that we've set our ideal on the wrong objects; I happen to think that the greatest ideal man can set before himself is self-perfection.
W. Somerset Maugham

2.
The American mood, perhaps even the American character, has changed. There are few manifestations any longer of the old American self-assurance which so irritated Dickens. Instead, there is a sense of frustration so perceptible that even our politicians have attempted to exploit it.
Macleish, Archibald

3.
America is not a democracy, it's an absolute monarchy ruled by King Kid. In a nation of immigrants, the child is automatically more of an American than his parents. Americans regard children as what Mr. Hudson in Upstairs, Downstairs called betters. Aping their betters, American adults do their best to turn themselves into children. Puerility exercises droit de seigneur everywhere.
King, Florence

4.
I have met charming people, lots who would be charming if they hadn't got a complex about the British and everyone has pleasant and cheerful manners and I like most of the American voices. On the other hand I don't believe they have any God and their hats are frightful. On balance I prefer the Arabs.
Stark, Freya

5.
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

6.
Europe will never be like America. Europe is a product of history. America is a product of philosophy.
Margaret Thatcher

7.
America has never been united by blood or birth or soil. We are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interests and teach us what it means to be citizens.
George W. Bush

8.
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.

9.
America is a model of force and freedom and moderation -- with all the coarseness and rudeness of its people.
Byron, Lord

10.
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

11.
No... the real American has not yet arrived. He is only in the Crucible, I tell you -- he will be the fusion of all races, perhaps the coming superman.
Zangwill, Israel

12.
If you think the United States has stood still, who built The largest shopping center in the world?
Nixon, Richard M.

13.
America is therefore the land of the future, where, in the ages that lie before us, the burden of the World's History shall reveal itself.
Georg W. Hegel

14.
The American Dream has run out of gas. The car has stopped. It no longer supplies the world with its images, its dreams, its fantasies. No more. It's over. It supplies the world with its nightmares now: the Kennedy assassination, Watergate, Vietnam...
Ballard, J. G.

15.
America is an adorable woman chewing tobacco.
Bartholdi, Frederic Auguste

16.
A trait no other nation seems to possess in quite the same degree that we do -- namely, a feeling of almost childish injury and resentment unless the world as a whole recognizes how innocent we are of anything but the most generous and harmless intentions.
Roosevelt, Eleanor

17.
That is the American story. People, just like you, following their passions, determined to meet the times on their own terms. They weren't doing it for the money. Their titles weren't fancy. But they changed the course of history and so can you.
Barack Obama

18.
To us Americans much has been given; of us much is required. With all our faults and mistakes, it is our strength in support of the freedom our forefathers loved which has saved mankind from subjection to totalitarian power.
Thomas, Norman

19.
American is a very difficult language mixed with English.

20.
One can not be an American by going about saying that one is an American. It is necessary to feel America, like America, love America and then work.
O'Keeffe, Georgia

21.
America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.
Oscar Wilde

22.
America - a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose.
Herbert Hoover

23.
America is a vast conspiracy to make you happy.
John Updike

24.
America, we are better than these last eight years. We are a better country than this.
Barack Obama

25.
America is promises to take! America is promises to us to take them.
Macleish, Archibald

26.
The spirit is at home, if not entirely satisfied, in America.
Bloom, Allan

27.
We are a puny and fickle folk. Avarice, hesitation, and following are our diseases.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

28.
What the United States does best is to understand itself. What it does worst is understand others.
Fuentes, Carlos

29.
America lives in the heart of every man everywhere who wishes to find a region where he will be free to work out his destiny as he chooses.
Woodrow Wilson

30.
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.

31.
There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America.
Bill Clinton

32.
There is nothing wrong with America that faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens cannot cure.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

33.
In America everything's about who's number one today.
Springsteen, Bruce

34.
America does to me what I knew it would do: it just bumps me. The people charge at you like trucks coming down on you -- no awareness. But one tries to dodge aside in time. Bump! bump! go the trucks. And that is human contact.
Lawrence, D. H.

35.
Ours is the only country deliberately founded on a good idea.
Gunther, John

36.
America's one of the finest countries anyone ever stole.
Bobcat Goldthwaite

37.
Is America a land of God where saints abide for ever? Where golden fields spread fair and broad, where flows the crystal river? Certainly not flush with saints, and a good thing, too, for the saints sent buzzing into man's ken now are but poor-mouthed ecclesiastical film stars and clich?-shouting publicity agents. Their little knowledge bringing them nearer to their ignorance, ignorance bringing them nearer to death, but nearness to death no nearer to God.
O'Casey, Sean

38.
The trouble with America is that there are far too many wide-open spaces surrounded by teeth.
Charles Luckman

39.
Part of the American dream is to live long and die young. Only those Americans who are willing to die for their country are fit to live.
Macarthur, Douglas

40.
The genius of the American system is that we have created extraordinary results from plain old ordinary people.
Gramm, Phil

41.
Americans are apt to be unduly interested in discovering what average opinion believes average opinion to be...
Keynes, John Maynard

42.
This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

43.
I pray we are still a young and courageous nation, that we have not grown so old and so fat and so prosperous that all we can think about is to sit back with our arms around our money bags. If we choose to do that I have no doubt that the smoldering fires will burst into flame and consume us -- dollars and all.
Johnson, Lyndon B.

44.
I hate this shallow Americanism which hopes to get rich by credit, to get knowledge by raps on midnight tables, to learn the economy of the mind by phrenology, or skill without study, or mastery without apprenticeship.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

45.
In the United States there is more space where nobody is than where anybody is. That is what makes America what it is.
Gertrude Stein

46.
The youth of America is their oldest tradition. It has been going on now for three hundred years.
Wilde, Oscar

47.
America and its demons, Europe and its ghost.
Le Monde

48.
A man is not expected to love his country, lest he make an ass of himself. Yet our country, seen through the mists of smog, is curiously lovable, in somewhat the way an individual who has got himself into an unconscionable scrape seems lovable -- or at least deserving of support.
White, Elwyn Brooks

49.
The trouble with this country is that there are too many people going about saying, The trouble with this country is...
Lewis, Sinclair

50.
America is like one of those old-fashioned six-cylinder truck engines that can be missing two sparkplugs and have a broken flywheel and have a crankshaft that's 5000 millimeters off fitting properly, and two bad ball-bearings, and still runs. We're in that kind of situation. We can have substantial parts of the population committing suicide, and still run and look fairly good.
Mcguane, Thomas
