America Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about America

1.
Knavery seems to be so much a the striking feature of its inhabitants that it may not in the end be an evil that they will become aliens to this kingdom.
King George III

2.
America is a large, friendly dog in a very small room. Every time it wags its tail, it knocks over a chair.
Arnold Toynbee

3.
On 16 September 1985, when the Commerce Department announced that the United States had become a debtor nation, the American Empire died.
Vidal, Gore

4.
Other lands have their vitality in a few, a class, but we have it in the bulk of our people.
Walt Whitman

5.
A people who are still, as it were, but in the gristle, and not yet hardened into the bone of manhood.
Burke, Edmund

6.
America will never run... And we will always be grateful that liberty has found such brave defenders.
George W. Bush

7.
Building a better you is the first step to building a better America.
Ziglar, Zig

8.
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

9.
In America any boy may become President and I suppose it's just one of the risks he takes.
Adlai E. Stevenson Jr.

10.
I don't measure America by its achievement but by its potential.
Shirley Chisholm

11.
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

12.
America is a model of force and freedom and moderation -- with all the coarseness and rudeness of its people.
Byron, Lord

13.
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

14.
There is nothing wrong with America that faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens cannot cure.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

15.
People in America, of course, live in all sorts of fashions, because they are foreigners, or unlucky, or depraved, or without ambition; people live like that, but Americans live in white detached houses with green shutters. Rigidly, blindly, the dream takes precedence.
Mead, Margaret

16.
If you think the United States has stood still, who built The largest shopping center in the world?
Nixon, Richard M.

17.
In a country as big as the United States, you can find fifty examples of anything.
Jeffery F. Chamberlain

18.
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.

19.
The real democratic American idea is, not that every man shall be on a level with every other man, but that every man shall have liberty to be what God made him, without hindrance.
Beecher, Henry Ward

20.
Double, no triple, our troubles and we'd still be better off than any other people on earth. It is time that we recognized that ours was, in truth, a noble cause.
Reagan, Ronald

21.
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

22.
America, we are better than these last eight years. We are a better country than this.
Barack Obama

23.
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

24.
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

25.
As for America, it is the ideal fruit of all your youthful hopes and reforms. Everybody is fairly decent, respectable, domestic, bourgeois, middle-class, and tiresome. There is absolutely nothing to revile except that it's a bore.
Adams, Henry Brooks

26.
At least the Pilgrim Fathers used to shoot Indians: the Pilgrim Children merely punch time clocks.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)

27.
Intellectually, I know that America is no better than any other country; emotionally I know she is better than every other country.
Sinclair Lewis

28.
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

29.
To me Americanism means an imperative duty to be nobler than the rest of the world.
London, Meyer

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.
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.

32.
Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels -- men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

33.
It's difficult to believe that people are still starving in this country because food isn't available.
Reagan, Ronald

34.
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

35.
America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.
Oscar Wilde

36.
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

37.
American is a very difficult language mixed with English.

38.
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

39.
America is like an unfaithful love who promises us more than we got.
Bunch, Charlotte

40.
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

41.
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

42.
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

43.
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

44.
The history of the building of the American nation may justly be described as a laboratory experiment in understanding and in solving the problems that will confront the world tomorrow.
Butler, Nicholas

45.
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

46.
America is not so much a nightmare as a non-dream. The American non-dream is precisely a move to wipe the dream out of existence. The dream is a spontaneous happening and therefore dangerous to a control system set up by the non-dreamers.
Burroughs, William S.

47.
The trouble with this country is that there are too many people going about saying, The trouble with this country is...
Lewis, Sinclair

48.
The American people abhor a vacuum.
Roosevelt, Theodore

49.
Perhaps, after all, America never has been discovered. I myself would say that it had merely been detected.
Oscar Wilde

50.
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
