Best Quotes about America
I despair of the Republic! Such dreariness, such whining sallow women, such utter absence of the amenities, such crass food, crass manners, crass landscape!! What a horror it is for a whole nation to be developing without the sense of beauty, and eating bananas for breakfast.
Wharton, Edith
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.
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
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
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
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 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
The trouble with this country is that there are too many people going about saying, The trouble with this country is...
Lewis, Sinclair
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
Europe will never be like America. Europe is a product of history. America is a product of philosophy.
Margaret Thatcher
The spirit is at home, if not entirely satisfied, in America.
Bloom, Allan
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
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
America, thou half-brother of the world; with something good and bad of every land.
Bailey, Philip James
Being blunt with your feelings is very American. In this big country, I can be as brash as New York, as hedonistic as Los Angeles, as sensuous as San Francisco, as brainy as Boston, as proper as Philadelphia, as brawny as Chicago, as warm as Palm Springs, as friendly as my adopted home town of Dallas, Fort Worth, and as peaceful as the inland waterway that rubs up against my former home in Virginia Beach.
Navratilova, Martina
The North American system only wants to consider the positive aspects of reality. Men and women are subjected from childhood to an inexorable process of adaptation; certain principles, contained in brief formulas are endlessly repeated by the Press, the radio, the churches, and the schools, and by those kindly, sinister beings, the North American mothers and wives. A person imprisoned by these schemes is like a plant in a flowerpot too small for it: he cannot grow or mature.
Paz, Octavio
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
The voice of America has no undertones or overtones in it. It repeats its optimistic catchwords in a tireless monologue that has the slightly metallic sound of a gramophone.
Palmer, Vance
The genius of the United States is not best or most in its executives or legislatures, nor in its ambassadors or authors or colleges, or churches, or parlors, nor even in its newspapers or inventors, but always most in the common people.
Walt Whitman
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.
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
Just what is it that America stands for? If she stands for one thing more than another it is for the sovereignty of self-governing people.
Woodrow Wilson
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
Americans are apt to be unduly interested in discovering what average opinion believes average opinion to be...
Keynes, John Maynard
America has run the world for at least the past 50 years, and when you're at the top that long, you forget what it's like in the valley. There are 5+ billion people out there now who are willing to study harder, work harder for less money and be more industrious than we are. And we're linked to them by technology. With telecommunications, you can have your bookkeeping done in Madra, India, for less than it costs here. Today technology can replace whole new industries, so you have to stay flexible. To survive today, you have to be able to walk on quicksand and dance with electrons.
Ogden, Frank
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.
At least the Pilgrim Fathers used to shoot Indians: the Pilgrim Children merely punch time clocks.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)
In a country as big as the United States, you can find fifty examples of anything.
Jeffery F. Chamberlain
America makes prodigious mistakes, America has colossal faults, but one thing cannot be denied: America is always on the move. She may be going to Hell, of course, but at least she isn't standing still.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)
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
America is neither free nor brave, but a land of tight, iron-clanking little wills, everybody trying to put it over everybody else, and a land of men absolutely devoid of the real courage of trust, trust in life's sacred spontaneity. They can't trust life until they can control it.
Lawrence, D. H.
I don't measure America by its achievement but by its potential.
Shirley Chisholm
Only Americans can hurt America.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.
America is a mistake, a giant mistake.
Sigmund Freud
America is an adorable woman chewing tobacco.
Bartholdi, Frederic Auguste
There is nothing wrong with America that faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens cannot cure.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.
For other nations, utopia is a blessed past never to be recovered; for Americans it is just beyond the horizon.
Kissinger, Henry
We are a puny and fickle folk. Avarice, hesitation, and following are our diseases.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
We must stop talking about the American dream and start listening to the dreams of the Americans.
Askew, Ruben
I like America, just as everybody else does. I love America, I gotta say that. But America will be judged.
Dylan, Bob
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
To me Americanism means an imperative duty to be nobler than the rest of the world.
London, Meyer
America is a land where men govern, but women rule.
Brown, John Mason
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
There is a New America every morning when we wake up. It is upon us whether we will it or not.
Adlai E. Stevenson Jr.
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.
The quality of American life is an insult to the possibilities of human growth... the pollution of American space, with gadgetry and cars and TV and box architecture, brutalizes the senses, making gray neurotics of most of us, and perverse spiritual athletes and strident self-transcenders of the best of us.
Sontag, Susan
It's difficult to believe that people are still starving in this country because food isn't available.
Reagan, Ronald
American dreams are strongest in the hearts of those who have seen America only in their dreams.
Iyer, Pico
America is rather like life. You can usually find in it what you look for. It will probably be interesting, and it is sure to be large.
Forster, Edward M.
