America Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about America

1.
One can not be an American by going about saying that one is an American. It is necessary to feel America, like America, love America and then work.
O'Keeffe, Georgia

2.
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

3.
America - a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose.
Herbert Hoover

4.
America is promises to take! America is promises to us to take them.
Macleish, Archibald

5.
I always consider the settlement of America with reverence and wonder, as the opening of a grand scene and design in providence, for the illumination of the ignorant and the emancipation of the slavish part of mankind all over the earth.
John Adams

6.
America: It's like Britain, only with buttons.
Starr, Ringo

7.
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

8.
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

9.
There is nothing wrong with America that the faith, love of freedom, intelligence and energy of her citizens cannot cure.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

10.
America's one of the finest countries anyone ever stole.
Bobcat Goldthwaite

11.
For other nations, utopia is a blessed past never to be recovered; for Americans it is just beyond the horizon.
Kissinger, Henry

12.
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

13.
We are a puny and fickle folk. Avarice, hesitation, and following are our diseases.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

14.
On Thanksgiving Day, all over America, families sit down to dinner at the same moment -- half- time.

15.
By heritage and by choice, the United States of America will make that stand.
George W. Bush

16.
It's difficult to believe that people are still starving in this country because food isn't available.
Reagan, Ronald

17.
America is not merely a nation but a nation of nations.
Lyndon B. Johnson

18.
America is a land where men govern, but women rule.
Brown, John Mason

19.
The superficiality of the American is the result of his hustling. It needs leisure to think things out; it needs leisure to mature. People in a hurry cannot think, cannot grow, nor can they decay. They are preserved in a state of perpetual puerility.
Hoffer, Eric

20.
I have no further use for America. I wouldn't go back there if Jesus Christ was President.
Chaplin, Charlie

21.
In America everything's about who's number one today.
Springsteen, Bruce

22.
America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.
Oscar Wilde

23.
Americans are apt to be unduly interested in discovering what average opinion believes average opinion to be...
Keynes, John Maynard

24.
I have a great fear for the moral will of Americans if it takes more than a week to achieve the results.
Harper, Michael S.

25.
American dreams are strongest in the hearts of those who have seen America only in their dreams.
Iyer, Pico

26.
Only Americans can hurt America.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

27.
I think the greatest curse of American society has been the idea of an easy millennialism -- that some new drug, or the next election or the latest in social engineering will solve everything.
Warren, Robert Penn

28.
Europe was created by history. America was created by philosophy.
Margaret Thatcher

29.
The American lives even more for his goals, for the future, than the European. Life for him is always becoming, never being.
Einstein, Albert

30.
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

31.
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

32.
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

33.
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

34.
America is the best half-educated country in the world.
Butler, Nicholas

35.
The genius of the American system is that we have created extraordinary results from plain old ordinary people.
Gramm, Phil

36.
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

37.
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.

38.
This monster of a land, this mightiest of nations, this spawn of the future, turns out to be the macrocosm of microcosm me.
Steinbeck, John

39.
America will never run... And we will always be grateful that liberty has found such brave defenders.
George W. Bush

40.
America is a willingness of the heart.

41.
America is a vast conspiracy to make you happy.
John Updike

42.
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

43.
I like America, just as everybody else does. I love America, I gotta say that. But America will be judged.
Dylan, Bob

44.
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

45.
America is an adorable woman chewing tobacco.
Bartholdi, Frederic Auguste

46.
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.

47.
This is the story of America. Everybody's doing what they think they're supposed to do.
Jack Kerouac

48.
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

49.
America is a model of force and freedom and moderation -- with all the coarseness and rudeness of its people.
Byron, Lord

50.
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
