Best Quotes about America
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
It's difficult to believe that people are still starving in this country because food isn't available.
Reagan, Ronald
America, where people do not inquire of a stranger, What is he? But What can he do?
If you think the United States has stood still, who built The largest shopping center in the world?
Nixon, Richard M.
Other lands have their vitality in a few, a class, but we have it in the bulk of our people.
Walt Whitman
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
The main thing that endears the United Nations to member governments, and so enables it to survive, is its proven capacity to fail. You can safely appeal to the United Nations in the comfortable certainty that it will let you down.
O'Brien, Conor Cruise
The Americans are violently oral. That's why in America the mother is all-important and the father has no position at all -- isn't respected in the least. Even the American passion for laxatives can be explained as an oral manifestation. They want to get rid of any unpleasantness taken in through the mouth.
Auden, W. H.
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
To me Americanism means an imperative duty to be nobler than the rest of the world.
London, Meyer
The genius of the American system is that we have created extraordinary results from plain old ordinary people.
Gramm, Phil
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
Perhaps, after all, America never has been discovered. I myself would say that it had merely been detected.
Oscar Wilde
I have only one yardstick by which I test every major problem -- and that yardstick is: Is it good for America?
Eisenhower, Dwight D.
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
America has run the world for at least the past 50 years, and when you're at the top that long, you forget what it's like in the valley. There are 5+ billion people out there now who are willing to study harder, work harder for less money and be more industrious than we are. And we're linked to them by technology. With telecommunications, you can have your bookkeeping done in Madra, India, for less than it costs here. Today technology can replace whole new industries, so you have to stay flexible. To survive today, you have to be able to walk on quicksand and dance with electrons.
Ogden, Frank
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
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
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
America is the best half-educated country in the world.
Butler, Nicholas
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
American dreams are strongest in the hearts of those who have seen America only in their dreams.
Iyer, Pico
A people who are still, as it were, but in the gristle, and not yet hardened into the bone of manhood.
Burke, Edmund
I pray we are still a young and courageous nation, that we have not grown so old and so fat and so prosperous that all we can think about is to sit back with our arms around our money bags. If we choose to do that I have no doubt that the smoldering fires will burst into flame and consume us -- dollars and all.
Johnson, Lyndon B.
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
The ideology of this America wants to establish reassurance through Imitation. But profit defeats ideology, because the consumers want to be thrilled not only by the guarantee of the Good but also by the shudder of the Bad.
Eco, Umberto
Ours is the only country deliberately founded on a good idea.
Gunther, John
America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.
Oscar Wilde
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.
There is nothing wrong with America that faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens cannot cure.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.
America is a large, friendly dog in a very small room. Every time it wags its tail, it knocks over a chair.
Arnold Toynbee
The trouble with this country is that there are too many people going about saying, The trouble with this country is...
Lewis, Sinclair
Americans usually believe that nothing is impossible.
Eagleburger, Lawrence S.
I just want to say this. I want to say it gently but I want to say it firmly: There is a tendency for the world to say to America, "the big problems of the world are yours, you go and sort them out," and then to worry when America wants to sort them out.
Tony Blair
America is a model of force and freedom and moderation -- with all the coarseness and rudeness of its people.
Byron, Lord
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
There isn't a single human characteristic that can be safely labeled as American.
Twain, Mark
It was wonderful to find America, but it would have been more wonderful to miss it.
Mark Twain
I'm not going to quit. Why should I quit? This country is worth fighting for.
Hillary Rodham Clinton
In America everything's about who's number one today.
Springsteen, Bruce
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
At least the Pilgrim Fathers used to shoot Indians: the Pilgrim Children merely punch time clocks.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)
For this is what America is all about. It is the uncrossed desert and the unclimbed ridge. It is the star that is not reached and the harvest that is sleeping in the unplowed ground.
Johnson, Lyndon B.
America will never run... And we will always be grateful that liberty has found such brave defenders.
George W. Bush
America is not merely a nation but a nation of nations.
Lyndon B. Johnson
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
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
America is the world's living myth. There's no sense of wrong when you kill an American or blame America for some local disaster. This is our function, to be character types, to embody recurring themes that people can use to comfort themselves, justify themselves and so on. We're here to accommodate. Whatever people need, we provide. A myth is a useful thing.
Delillo, Don
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
America is a land where men govern, but women rule.
Brown, John Mason
