Best Quotes about America
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
By heritage and by choice, the United States of America will make that stand.
George W. Bush
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
At least the Pilgrim Fathers used to shoot Indians: the Pilgrim Children merely punch time clocks.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)
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
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
There is nothing wrong with America that faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens cannot cure.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.
America is the most grandiose experiment the world has seen, but, I am afraid, it is not going to be a success.
Freud, Sigmund
The American lives even more for his goals, for the future, than the European. Life for him is always becoming, never being.
Einstein, Albert
I can never suppose this country so far lost to all ideas of self-importance as to be willing to grant America independence; if that could ever be adopted I shall despair of this country being ever preserved from a state of inferiority and consequently falling into a very low class among the European States.
King George III
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
Our democracy, our culture, our whole way of life is a spectacular triumph of the blah. Why not have a political convention without politics to nominate a leader who's out in front of nobody? Maybe our national mindlessness is the very thing that keeps us from turning into one of those smelly European countries full of pseudo-reds and crypto-fascists and greens who dress like forest elves.
O'Rourke, P. J.
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
America has never been an empire. We may be the only great power in history that had the chance, and refused รป preferring greatness to power and justice to glory.
George W. Bush
There is nothing the matter with Americans except their ideals. The real American is all right; it is the ideal American who is all wrong.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
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
I have only one yardstick by which I test every major problem -- and that yardstick is: Is it good for America?
Eisenhower, Dwight D.
America is the best half-educated country in the world.
Butler, Nicholas
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.
America once had the clarity of the pioneer ax.
Osborne, Robert
I take space to be the central fact to man born in America. I spell it large because it comes large here. Large and without mercy.
Olson, Charles
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
It was wonderful to find America, but it would have been more wonderful to miss it.
Mark Twain
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
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
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.
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
American dreams are strongest in the hearts of those who have seen America only in their dreams.
Iyer, Pico
This monster of a land, this mightiest of nations, this spawn of the future, turns out to be the macrocosm of microcosm me.
Steinbeck, John
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
America has believed that in differentiation, not in uniformity, lies the path of progress. It acted on this belief; it has advanced human happiness, and it has prospered.
Louis D. Brandeis
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.
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
Every American ought to have the right to be treated as he would wish to be treated, as one would wish his children to be treated. this is not the case.
Kennedy, John F.
America is not merely a nation but a nation of nations.
Lyndon B. Johnson
America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.
Oscar Wilde
Europe was created by history. America was created by philosophy.
Margaret Thatcher
The spirit is at home, if not entirely satisfied, in America.
Bloom, Allan
Europe will never be like America. Europe is a product of history. America is a product of philosophy.
Margaret Thatcher
America is like an unfaithful love who promises us more than we got.
Bunch, Charlotte
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
I'm not going to quit. Why should I quit? This country is worth fighting for.
Hillary Rodham Clinton
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
