America

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
America Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about America

1.
I know starting careers in troubled times is a challenge, but it is also a privilege. Because it's moments like these that force us to try harder, dig deeper and to discover gifts we never knew we had. To find the greatness that lies within each of us. So don't ever shy away from that endeavor. Don't stop adding to your body of work. I can promise that you will be the better for that continued effort as will be this nation that we all love.
Barack Obama

2.
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

3.
The trouble with America is that there are far too many wide-open spaces surrounded by teeth.
Charles Luckman

4.
What a pity, when Christopher Colombus discovered America, that he ever mentioned it.
Margot Asquith

5.
America, where people do not inquire of a stranger, What is he? But What can he do?

6.
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.

7.
I have no further use for America. I wouldn't go back there if Jesus Christ was President.
Chaplin, Charlie

8.
America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.
Oscar Wilde

9.
I'm not going to quit. Why should I quit? This country is worth fighting for.
Hillary Rodham Clinton

10.
America - a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose.
Herbert Hoover

11.
America is a great country, but you can't live in it for nothing.
Rogers, Will

12.
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.

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

15.
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.

16.
The American lives even more for his goals, for the future, than the European. Life for him is always becoming, never being.
Einstein, Albert

17.
We are a puny and fickle folk. Avarice, hesitation, and following are our diseases.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

18.
Our American values are not luxuries but necessities, not the salt in our bread, but the bread itself. Our common vision of a free and just society is our greatest source of cohesion at home and strength abroad, greater than the bounty of our material blessings.
Jimmy Carter

19.
The superficiality of the American is the result of his hustling. It needs leisure to think things out; it needs leisure to mature. People in a hurry cannot think, cannot grow, nor can they decay. They are preserved in a state of perpetual puerility.
Hoffer, Eric

20.
I have only one yardstick by which I test every major problem -- and that yardstick is: Is it good for America?
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

21.
No American worth his salt should go around looking for a root. I advance this in all modesty, as a not unreasonable opinion.
Lewis, Wyndham

22.
The youth of America is their oldest tradition. It has been going on now for three hundred years.
Wilde, Oscar

23.
There is nothing wrong with America that faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens cannot cure.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

24.
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

25.
What you have to do is enter the fiction of America, enter America as fiction. It is, indeed, on this fictive basis that it dominates the world.
Baudrillard, Jean

26.
America is promises to take! America is promises to us to take them.
Macleish, Archibald

27.
God bless the USA, so large, so friendly, and so rich.
Auden, W. H.

28.
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

29.
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

30.
We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.
Pope, Alexander

31.
A people who are still, as it were, but in the gristle, and not yet hardened into the bone of manhood.
Burke, Edmund

32.
America is a young country with an old mentality.
George Santayana

33.
The American character looks always as if it had just had a rather bad haircut, which gives it, in our eyes at any rate, a greater humanity than the European, which even among its beggars has an all too professional air.
Mccarthy, Mary

34.
The main thing that endears the United Nations to member governments, and so enables it to survive, is its proven capacity to fail. You can safely appeal to the United Nations in the comfortable certainty that it will let you down.
O'Brien, Conor Cruise

35.
The genius of the American system is that we have created extraordinary results from plain old ordinary people.
Gramm, Phil

36.
By the definition accepted in the United States, any person with even a small amount of Negro Blood... is a Negro. Logically, it would be exactly as justifiable to say that any person with even a small amount of white blood is white. Why do they say one rather than the other? Because the former classification suits the convenience of those making the classification. Society, in short, regards as true those systems that produce the desired results. Science seeks only the most generally useful systems of classification; these it regards for the time being, until more useful classifications are invented, as true.
Hayakawa, S. I.

37.
It is veneer, rouge, aestheticism, art museums, new theaters, etc. that make America impotent. The good things are football, kindness, and jazz bands.
Santayana, George

38.
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

39.
I feel most at home in the United States, not because it is intrinsically a more interesting country, but because no one really belongs there any more than I do. We are all there together in its wholly excellent vacuum.
Lewis, Wyndham

40.
Their manners, speech, dress, friendships, -- the freshness and candor of their physiognomy -- the picturesque looseness of their carriage -- their deathless attachment to freedom -- their aversion to anything indecorous or soft or mean -- the practical acknowledgment of the citizens of one state by the citizens of all other states -- the fierceness of their roused resentment -- their curiosity and welcome of novelty -- their self-esteem and wonderful sympathy -- their susceptibility to a slight -- the air they have of persons who never knew how it felt to stand in the presence of superiors -- the fluency of their speech -- their delight in music, a sure symptom of manly tenderness and native elegance of soul -- their good temper and open-handedness -- the terrible significance of their elections, the President's taking off his hat to them, not they to him -- these too are unrhymed poetry. It awaits the gigantic and generous treatment worthy of it.
Whitman, Walt

41.
America is a mistake, a giant mistake.
Sigmund Freud

42.
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

43.
It is impossible for a stranger traveling through the United States to tell from the appearance of the people or the country whether he is in Toledo, Ohio, or Portland, Oregon. Ninety million Americans cut their hair in the same way, eat each morning exactly the same breakfast, tie up the small girls curls with precisely the same kind of ribbon fashioned into bows exactly alike; and in every way all try to look and act as much like all the others as they can.
Northcliffe, Lord

44.
America fears the unshaven legs, the unshaven men's cheeks, the aroma of perspiration, and the limp prick. Above all it fears the limp prick.
Abish, Walter

45.
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

46.
What the United States does best is to understand itself. What it does worst is understand others.
Fuentes, Carlos

47.
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

48.
At least the Pilgrim Fathers used to shoot Indians: the Pilgrim Children merely punch time clocks.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

49.
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

50.
It's difficult to believe that people are still starving in this country because food isn't available.
Reagan, Ronald
