Motivational Quotes
America
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.

Best Quotes about America
American is a very difficult language mixed with English.
America: It's like Britain, only with buttons.
Starr, Ringo
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.)
I know starting careers in troubled times is a challenge, but it is also a privilege. Because it's moments like these that force us to try harder, dig deeper and to discover gifts we never knew we had. To find the greatness that lies within each of us. So don't ever shy away from that endeavor. Don't stop adding to your body of work. I can promise that you will be the better for that continued effort as will be this nation that we all love.
Barack Obama
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.
The genius of the American system is that we have created extraordinary results from plain old ordinary people.
Gramm, Phil
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 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
Of all the nations in the world, the United States was built in nobody's image. It was the land of the unexpected, of unbounded hope, of ideals, of quest for an unknown perfection. It is all the more unfitting that we should offer ourselves in images. And all the more fitting that the images which we make wittingly or unwittingly to sell America to the world should come back to haunt and curse us.
Boorstin, Daniel J.
America's best buy is a telephone call to the right man.
Chase, Ilka
We are more thoroughly an enlightened people, with respect to our political interests, than perhaps any other under heaven. Every man among us reads, and is so easy in his circumstances as to have leisure for conversations of improvement and for acquiring information.
Franklin, Benjamin
I would rather have a nod from an American, than a snuff-box from an emperor.
Byron, Lord
America is like one of those old-fashioned six-cylinder truck engines that can be missing two sparkplugs and have a broken flywheel and have a crankshaft that's 5000 millimeters off fitting properly, and two bad ball-bearings, and still runs. We're in that kind of situation. We can have substantial parts of the population committing suicide, and still run and look fairly good.
Mcguane, Thomas
America is a large, friendly dog in a very small room. Every time it wags its tail, it knocks over a chair.
Arnold Toynbee
In America everything's about who's number one today.
Springsteen, Bruce
By the definition accepted in the United States, any person with even a small amount of Negro Blood... is a Negro. Logically, it would be exactly as justifiable to say that any person with even a small amount of white blood is white. Why do they say one rather than the other? Because the former classification suits the convenience of those making the classification. Society, in short, regards as true those systems that produce the desired results. Science seeks only the most generally useful systems of classification; these it regards for the time being, until more useful classifications are invented, as true.
Hayakawa, S. I.
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 trouble with this country is that there are too many people going about saying, The trouble with this country is...
Lewis, Sinclair
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
America once had the clarity of the pioneer ax.
Osborne, Robert
America is the country where you can buy a lifetime supply of aspirin For one dollar and use it up in two weeks.
Barrymore, John
Europe will never be like America. Europe is a product of history. America is a product of philosophy.
Margaret Thatcher
I hate this shallow Americanism which hopes to get rich by credit, to get knowledge by raps on midnight tables, to learn the economy of the mind by phrenology, or skill without study, or mastery without apprenticeship.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Americans are very friendly and very suspicious, that is what Americans are and that is what always upsets the foreigner, who deals with them, they are so friendly how can they be so suspicious they are so suspicious how can they be so friendly but they just are.
Stein, Gertrude
By heritage and by choice, the United States of America will make that stand.
George W. Bush
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
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. It is a land of desire for all those who are weary of the historical lumber-room of Old Europe.
Hegel, Georg
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
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.
If you think the United States has stood still, who built The largest shopping center in the world?
Nixon, Richard M.
America is a vast conspiracy to make you happy.
John Updike
This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.
There isn't a single human characteristic that can be safely labeled as American.
Twain, Mark
A people who are still, as it were, but in the gristle, and not yet hardened into the bone of manhood.
Burke, Edmund
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
The American mood, perhaps even the American character, has changed. There are few manifestations any longer of the old American self-assurance which so irritated Dickens. Instead, there is a sense of frustration so perceptible that even our politicians have attempted to exploit it.
Macleish, Archibald
What a pity, when Christopher Colombus discovered America, that he ever mentioned it.
Margot Asquith
Americans, unhappily, have the most remarkable ability to alchemize all bitter truths into an innocuous but piquant confection and to transform their moral contradictions, or public discussion of such contradictions, into a proud decoration, such as are given for heroism on the battle field.
Baldwin, James
America is not a democracy, it's an absolute monarchy ruled by King Kid. In a nation of immigrants, the child is automatically more of an American than his parents. Americans regard children as what Mr. Hudson in Upstairs, Downstairs called betters. Aping their betters, American adults do their best to turn themselves into children. Puerility exercises droit de seigneur everywhere.
King, Florence
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.
America is promises to take! America is promises to us to take them.
Macleish, Archibald
We are a puny and fickle folk. Avarice, hesitation, and following are our diseases.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
I like America, just as everybody else does. I love America, I gotta say that. But America will be judged.
Dylan, Bob
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.
America's one of the finest countries anyone ever stole.
Bobcat Goldthwaite
America is a willingness of the heart.
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
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.
America and its demons, Europe and its ghost.
