America Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about America

1.
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

2.
America is promises to take! America is promises to us to take them.
Macleish, Archibald

3.
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

4.
America is the best half-educated country in the world.
Butler, Nicholas

5.
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.

6.
America is a vast conspiracy to make you happy.
John Updike

7.
America once had the clarity of the pioneer ax.
Osborne, Robert

8.
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

9.
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

10.
At least the Pilgrim Fathers used to shoot Indians: the Pilgrim Children merely punch time clocks.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

11.
America is a mistake, a giant mistake.
Sigmund Freud

12.
America's one of the finest countries anyone ever stole.
Bobcat Goldthwaite

13.
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.

14.
America is the most grandiose experiment the world has seen, but, I am afraid, it is not going to be a success.
Freud, Sigmund

15.
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

16.
Americans usually believe that nothing is impossible.
Eagleburger, Lawrence S.

17.
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.)

18.
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

19.
America is a willingness of the heart.

20.
A people who are still, as it were, but in the gristle, and not yet hardened into the bone of manhood.
Burke, Edmund

21.
America, thou half-brother of the world; with something good and bad of every land.
Bailey, Philip James

22.
The business of America is business and the chief ideal of the American people is idealism.
Coolidge, Calvin

23.
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

24.
England and America are two countries separated by a common language.
George Bernard Shaw

25.
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

26.
This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

27.
Ours is the only country deliberately founded on a good idea.
Gunther, John

28.
Perhaps, after all, America never has been discovered. I myself would say that it had merely been detected.
Oscar Wilde

29.
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

30.
The gap between ideals and actualities, between dreams and achievements, the gap that can spur strong men to increased exertions, but can break the spirit of others -- this gap is the most conspicuous, continuous land mark in American history. It is conspicuous and continuous not because Americans achieve little, but because they dream grandly. The gap is a standing reproach to Americans; but it marks them off as a special and singularly admirable community among the world's peoples.
Will, George F.

31.
The spirit is at home, if not entirely satisfied, in America.
Bloom, Allan

32.
By heritage and by choice, the United States of America will make that stand.
George W. Bush

33.
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

34.
I believe America's best days are ahead of us because I believe that the future belongs to freedom, not to fear.
John Kerry

35.
I have no further use for America. I wouldn't go back there if Jesus Christ was President.
Chaplin, Charlie

36.
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

37.
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

38.
America is a model of force and freedom and moderation -- with all the coarseness and rudeness of its people.
Byron, Lord

39.
The genius of the American system is that we have created extraordinary results from plain old ordinary people.
Gramm, Phil

40.
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

41.
There are three social classes in America: upper middle class, middle class, and lower middle class.
Judith Martin

42.
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

43.
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

44.
There isn't a single human characteristic that can be safely labeled as American.
Twain, Mark

45.
I see America spreading disaster. I see America as a black curse upon the world. I see a long night settling in and that mushroom which has poisoned the world withering at the roots.
Miller, Henry

46.
The United States is just now the oldest country in the world, there always is an oldest country and she is it, it is she who is the mother of the twentieth century civilization. She began to feel herself as it just after the Civil War. And so it is a country the right age to have been born in and the wrong age to live in.
Stein, Gertrude

47.
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

48.
There is nothing wrong with America that faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens cannot cure.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

49.
God bless the USA, so large, so friendly, and so rich.
Auden, W. H.

50.
I think the greatest curse of American society has been the idea of an easy millennialism -- that some new drug, or the next election or the latest in social engineering will solve everything.
Warren, Robert Penn
