Motivational Quotes

America

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 Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about America

1.
It was wonderful to find America, but it would have been more wonderful to miss it.
Mark Twain

2.
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

3.
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

4.
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

5.
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

6.
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

7.
The rising power of the United States in world affairs requires, not a more compliant press, but a relentless barrage of facts and criticism. Our job in this age, as I see it, is not to serve as cheerleaders for our side in the present world struggle but to help the largest possible number of people to see the realities of the changing and convulsive world in which American policy must operate.
Reston, James

8.
It is impossible for a stranger traveling through the United States to tell from the appearance of the people or the country whether he is in Toledo, Ohio, or Portland, Oregon. Ninety million Americans cut their hair in the same way, eat each morning exactly the same breakfast, tie up the small girls curls with precisely the same kind of ribbon fashioned into bows exactly alike; and in every way all try to look and act as much like all the others as they can.
Northcliffe, Lord

9.
America is not a young land: it is old and dirty and evil before the settlers, before the Indians. The evil is there waiting.
Burroughs, William S.

10.
We must stop talking about the American dream and start listening to the dreams of the Americans.
Askew, Ruben

11.
If we Americans are to survive it will have to be because we choose and elect and defend to be first of all Americans; to present to the world one homogeneous and unbroken front, whether of white Americans or black ones or purple or blue or green. If we in America have reached that point in our desperate culture when we must murder children, no matter for what reason or what color, we don't deserve to survive, and probably won t.
Faulkner, William

12.
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

13.
America will never run... And we will always be grateful that liberty has found such brave defenders.
George W. Bush

14.
Americans usually believe that nothing is impossible.
Eagleburger, Lawrence S.

15.
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

16.
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

17.
There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America.
Bill Clinton

18.
America is an adorable woman chewing tobacco.
Bartholdi, Frederic Auguste

19.
America - a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose.
Herbert Hoover

20.
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

21.
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

22.
Part of the American dream is to live long and die young. Only those Americans who are willing to die for their country are fit to live.
Macarthur, Douglas

23.
Intellectually, I know that America is no better than any other country; emotionally I know she is better than every other country.
Sinclair Lewis

24.
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

25.
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

26.
The business of America is business and the chief ideal of the American people is idealism.
Coolidge, Calvin

27.
America and its demons, Europe and its ghost.
Le Monde

28.
What the United States does best is to understand itself. What it does worst is understand others.
Fuentes, Carlos

29.
Europe will never be like America. Europe is a product of history. America is a product of philosophy.
Margaret Thatcher

30.
Our American values are not luxuries but necessities, not the salt in our bread, but the bread itself. Our common vision of a free and just society is our greatest source of cohesion at home and strength abroad, greater than the bounty of our material blessings.
Jimmy Carter

31.
Two things in America are astonishing: the changeableness of most human behavior and the strange stability of certain principles. Men are constantly on the move, but the spirit of humanity seems almost unmoved.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

32.
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

33.
I don't see America as a mainland, but as a sea, a big ocean. Sometimes a storm arises, a formidable current develops, and it seems it will engulf everything. Wait a moment, another current will appear and bring the first one to naught.
Maritain, Jacques

34.
America once had the clarity of the pioneer ax.
Osborne, Robert

35.
The American lives even more for his goals, for the future, than the European. Life for him is always becoming, never being.
Einstein, Albert

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

37.
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

38.
America is the greatest, freest and most decent society in existence. It is an oasis of goodness in a desert of cynicism and barbarism. This country, once an experiment unique in the world, is now the last best hope for the world.
Dinesh D'Souza

39.
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

40.
I have no further use for America. I wouldn't go back there if Jesus Christ was President.
Chaplin, Charlie

41.
America is a great country, but you can't live in it for nothing.
Rogers, Will

42.
America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.
Oscar Wilde

43.
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

44.
Sometimes people call me an idealist. Well, that is the way I know I am an American. America is the only idealistic nation in the world.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

45.
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

46.
This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

47.
America is the most grandiose experiment the world has seen, but, I am afraid, it is not going to be a success.
Freud, Sigmund

48.
America is just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable.
Thompson, Hunter S.

49.
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

50.
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
