America Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about America

1.
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

2.
If you think the United States has stood still, who built The largest shopping center in the world?
Nixon, Richard M.

3.
By heritage and by choice, the United States of America will make that stand.
George W. Bush

4.
America is the most grandiose experiment the world has seen, but, I am afraid, it is not going to be a success.
Freud, Sigmund

5.
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

6.
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.

7.
I would rather have a nod from an American, than a snuff-box from an emperor.
Byron, Lord

8.
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

9.
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.

10.
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

11.
Intellectually, I know that America is no better than any other country; emotionally I know she is better than every other country.
Sinclair Lewis

12.
Americans see history as a straight line and themselves standing at the cutting edge of it as representatives for all mankind. They believe in the future as if it were a religion; they believe that there is nothing they cannot accomplish, that solutions wait somewhere for all problems, like brides.

13.
To me Americanism means an imperative duty to be nobler than the rest of the world.
London, Meyer

14.
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.

15.
At least the Pilgrim Fathers used to shoot Indians: the Pilgrim Children merely punch time clocks.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

16.
America, thou half-brother of the world; with something good and bad of every land.
Bailey, Philip James

17.
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.

18.
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.
Barack Obama

19.
America will never run... And we will always be grateful that liberty has found such brave defenders.
George W. Bush

20.
America is a young country with an old mentality.
George Santayana

21.
All great change in America begins at the dinner table.
Ronald Reagan

22.
For other nations, utopia is a blessed past never to be recovered; for Americans it is just beyond the horizon.
Kissinger, Henry

23.
America is a large, friendly dog in a very small room. Every time it wags its tail, it knocks over a chair.
Arnold Toynbee

24.
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

25.
There are three social classes in America: upper middle class, middle class, and lower middle class.
Judith Martin

26.
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

27.
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

28.
Americans are apt to be unduly interested in discovering what average opinion believes average opinion to be...
Keynes, John Maynard

29.
Only Americans can hurt America.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

30.
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

31.
There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America.
Bill Clinton

32.
It is, I think, an indisputable fact that Americans are, as Americans, the most self-conscious people in the world, and the most addicted to the belief that the other nations of the earth are in a conspiracy to under value them.
James, Henry

33.
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.

34.
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

35.
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.

36.
Perhaps, after all, America never has been discovered. I myself would say that it had merely been detected.
Oscar Wilde

37.
God bless the USA, so large, so friendly, and so rich.
Auden, W. H.

38.
A man is not expected to love his country, lest he make an ass of himself. Yet our country, seen through the mists of smog, is curiously lovable, in somewhat the way an individual who has got himself into an unconscionable scrape seems lovable -- or at least deserving of support.
White, Elwyn Brooks

39.
America once had the clarity of the pioneer ax.
Osborne, Robert

40.
America is a model of force and freedom and moderation -- with all the coarseness and rudeness of its people.
Byron, Lord

41.
What a pity, when Christopher Colombus discovered America, that he ever mentioned it.
Margot Asquith

42.
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

43.
On Thanksgiving Day, all over America, families sit down to dinner at the same moment -- half- time.

44.
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

45.
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

46.
There is nothing wrong with America that the faith, love of freedom, intelligence and energy of her citizens cannot cure.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

47.
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

48.
America is an adorable woman chewing tobacco.
Bartholdi, Frederic Auguste

49.
America is a land where men govern, but women rule.
Brown, John Mason

50.
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
