Motivational Quotes
America
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.

Best Quotes about America
I would rather have a nod from an American, than a snuff-box from an emperor.
Byron, Lord
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
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
We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.
Pope, Alexander
The keynote of American civilization is a sort of warm-hearted vulgarity. The Americans have none of the irony of the English, none of their cool poise, none of their manner. But they do have friendliness. Where an Englishman would give you his card, an American would very likely give you his shirt.
Chandler, Raymond
On Thanksgiving Day, all over America, families sit down to dinner at the same moment -- half- time.
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
America will never run... And we will always be grateful that liberty has found such brave defenders.
George W. Bush
The youth of America is their oldest tradition. It has been going on now for three hundred years.
Wilde, Oscar
Ours is the only country deliberately founded on a good idea.
Gunther, John
America - a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose.
Herbert Hoover
America is the best half-educated country in the world.
Butler, Nicholas
I have no further use for America. I wouldn't go back there if Jesus Christ was President.
Chaplin, Charlie
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.
America has never been united by blood or birth or soil. We are bound by ideals that move us beyond our backgrounds, lift us above our interests and teach us what it means to be citizens.
George W. Bush
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
America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.
Oscar Wilde
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
The genius of the American system is that we have created extraordinary results from plain old ordinary people.
Gramm, Phil
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
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
Americans are apt to be unduly interested in discovering what average opinion believes average opinion to be...
Keynes, John Maynard
A people who are still, as it were, but in the gristle, and not yet hardened into the bone of manhood.
Burke, Edmund
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.
You Europeans know nothing about America. Because we amass large fortunes you think we care for nothing but money. We are nothing for it; the moment we have it we spend it, sometimes well, sometimes ill, but we spend it. Money is nothing to us; it's merely the symbol of success. We are the greatest idealists in the world; I happen to think that we've set our ideal on the wrong objects; I happen to think that the greatest ideal man can set before himself is self-perfection.
W. Somerset Maugham
America does not concern itself now with Impressionism. We own no involved philosophy. The psyche of the land is to be found in its movement. It is to be felt as a dramatic force of energy and vitality. We move; we do not stand still. We have not yet arrived at the stock-taking stage.
Graham, Martha
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
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
America, thou half-brother of the world; with something good and bad of every land.
Bailey, Philip James
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
America is rather like life. You can usually find in it what you look for. It will probably be interesting, and it is sure to be large.
Forster, Edward M.
God bless the USA, so large, so friendly, and so rich.
Auden, W. H.
It's difficult to believe that people are still starving in this country because food isn't available.
Reagan, Ronald
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.
England and America are two countries separated by a common language.
George Bernard Shaw
In America everything's about who's number one today.
Springsteen, Bruce
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
At least the Pilgrim Fathers used to shoot Indians: the Pilgrim Children merely punch time clocks.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)
The quality of American life is an insult to the possibilities of human growth... the pollution of American space, with gadgetry and cars and TV and box architecture, brutalizes the senses, making gray neurotics of most of us, and perverse spiritual athletes and strident self-transcenders of the best of us.
Sontag, Susan
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
There is nothing wrong with America that faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens cannot cure.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.
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
America is a large, friendly dog in a very small room. Every time it wags its tail, it knocks over a chair.
Arnold Toynbee
I believe America's best days are ahead of us because I believe that the future belongs to freedom, not to fear.
John Kerry
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
It's the movies that have really been running things in America ever since they were invented. They show you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how to feel about it, and how to look how you feel about it. Everybody has their own America, and then they have the pieces of a fantasy America that they think is out there but they can't see.
Warhol, Andy
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
The trouble with America is that there are far too many wide-open spaces surrounded by teeth.
Charles Luckman
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.
The North American system only wants to consider the positive aspects of reality. Men and women are subjected from childhood to an inexorable process of adaptation; certain principles, contained in brief formulas are endlessly repeated by the Press, the radio, the churches, and the schools, and by those kindly, sinister beings, the North American mothers and wives. A person imprisoned by these schemes is like a plant in a flowerpot too small for it: he cannot grow or mature.
Paz, Octavio
