Motivational Quotes
America
In recent years, we've become enamored with our own past success. Lulled into complacency by the glitter of our own achievements. We've become accustomed to the title of Military Superpower, forgetting the qualities that got us there. We've become accustomed to our economic dominance in the world, forgetting that it wasn't reckless deals and get rich quick schemes that got us where we are, but hard work and smart ideas, quality products and wise investments.

Best Quotes about America
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
There are no second acts in American lives.
Fitzgerald, F. Scott
Americans usually believe that nothing is impossible.
Eagleburger, Lawrence S.
America is a large, friendly dog in a very small room. Every time it wags its tail, it knocks over a chair.
Arnold Toynbee
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
This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.
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
Intellectually, I know that America is no better than any other country; emotionally I know she is better than every other country.
Sinclair Lewis
There are three social classes in America: upper middle class, middle class, and lower middle class.
Judith Martin
America, thou half-brother of the world; with something good and bad of every land.
Bailey, Philip James
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
The youth of America is their oldest tradition. It has been going on now for three hundred years.
Wilde, Oscar
To me Americanism means an imperative duty to be nobler than the rest of the world.
London, Meyer
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.
A people who are still, as it were, but in the gristle, and not yet hardened into the bone of manhood.
Burke, Edmund
America's greatest strength, and its greatest weakness, is our belief in second chances, our belief that we can always start over, that things can be made better.
Anthony Walton
I don't see America as a mainland, but as a sea, a big ocean. Sometimes a storm arises, a formidable current develops, and it seems it will engulf everything. Wait a moment, another current will appear and bring the first one to naught.
Maritain, Jacques
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
By heritage and by choice, the United States of America will make that stand.
George W. Bush
America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.
Oscar Wilde
There is a constant in the average American imagination and taste, for which the past must be preserved and celebrated in full-scale authentic copy; a philosophy of immortality as duplication. It dominates the relation with the self, with the past, not infrequently with the present, always with History and, even, with the European tradition.
Eco, Umberto
Perhaps, after all, America never has been discovered. I myself would say that it had merely been detected.
Oscar Wilde
England and America are two countries separated by a common language.
George Bernard Shaw
America is a model of force and freedom and moderation -- with all the coarseness and rudeness of its people.
Byron, Lord
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
The American lives even more for his goals, for the future, than the European. Life for him is always becoming, never being.
Einstein, Albert
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.
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
America's one of the finest countries anyone ever stole.
Bobcat Goldthwaite
Building a better you is the first step to building a better America.
Ziglar, Zig
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.
It was wonderful to find America, but it would have been more wonderful to miss it.
Mark Twain
I have a great fear for the moral will of Americans if it takes more than a week to achieve the results.
Harper, Michael S.
The face of nature and civilization in this our country is to a certain point a very sufficient literary field. But it will yield its secrets only to a really grasping imagination. To write well and worthily of American things one need even more than elsewhere to be a master.
James, Henry
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
Only Americans can hurt America.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.
America will never run... And we will always be grateful that liberty has found such brave defenders.
George W. Bush
What the United States does best is to understand itself. What it does worst is understand others.
Fuentes, Carlos
I have never been able to look upon America as young and vital but rather as prematurely old, as a fruit which rotted before it had a chance to ripen.
Miller, Henry
This is the story of America. Everybody's doing what they think they're supposed to do.
Jack Kerouac
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.
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.
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
America is the greatest, freest and most decent society in existence. It is an oasis of goodness in a desert of cynicism and barbarism. This country, once an experiment unique in the world, is now the last best hope for the world.
Dinesh D'Souza
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
Actually we are a vulgar, pushing mob whose passions are easily mobilized by demagogues, newspaper men, religious quacks, agitators and such like. To call this a society of free peoples is blasphemous. What have we to offer the world besides the superabundant loot which we recklessly plunder from the earth under the maniacal delusion that this insane activity represents progress and enlightenment?
Miller, Henry
The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.
Roosevelt, Theodore
We know that the white man does not understand our ways. One portion of land is the same to him as the next, for he is a stranger who comes in the night and takes from the land whatever he needs. The earth is not his brother, but his enemy, and when he has conquered it, he moves on.
Seattle, Chief
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
America is an adorable woman chewing tobacco.
Bartholdi, Frederic Auguste
