America Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about America

1.
The genius of the United States is not best or most in its executives or legislatures, nor in its ambassadors or authors or colleges, or churches, or parlors, nor even in its newspapers or inventors, but always most in the common people.
Walt Whitman

2.
We are a puny and fickle folk. Avarice, hesitation, and following are our diseases.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

3.
There are three social classes in America: upper middle class, middle class, and lower middle class.
Judith Martin

4.
God bless the USA, so large, so friendly, and so rich.
Auden, W. H.

5.
There is a New America every morning when we wake up. It is upon us whether we will it or not.
Adlai E. Stevenson Jr.

6.
For other nations, utopia is a blessed past never to be recovered; for Americans it is just beyond the horizon.
Kissinger, Henry

7.
America once had the clarity of the pioneer ax.
Osborne, Robert

8.
There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America.
Bill Clinton

9.
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

10.
America is a willingness of the heart.

11.
I would rather have a nod from an American, than a snuff-box from an emperor.
Byron, Lord

12.
There is nothing wrong with America that faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens cannot cure.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

13.
I like America, just as everybody else does. I love America, I gotta say that. But America will be judged.
Dylan, Bob

14.
America is a land where men govern, but women rule.
Brown, John Mason

15.
What the United States does best is to understand itself. What it does worst is understand others.
Fuentes, Carlos

16.
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.

17.
America is neither free nor brave, but a land of tight, iron-clanking little wills, everybody trying to put it over everybody else, and a land of men absolutely devoid of the real courage of trust, trust in life's sacred spontaneity. They can't trust life until they can control it.
Lawrence, D. H.

18.
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

19.
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

20.
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

21.
The business of America is business and the chief ideal of the American people is idealism.
Coolidge, Calvin

22.
There is nothing wrong with America that the faith, love of freedom, intelligence and energy of her citizens cannot cure.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

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.
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.

25.
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

26.
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

27.
I see America spreading disaster. I see America as a black curse upon the world. I see a long night settling in and that mushroom which has poisoned the world withering at the roots.
Miller, Henry

28.
America is like an unfaithful love who promises us more than we got.
Bunch, Charlotte

29.
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

30.
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

31.
I despair of the Republic! Such dreariness, such whining sallow women, such utter absence of the amenities, such crass food, crass manners, crass landscape!! What a horror it is for a whole nation to be developing without the sense of beauty, and eating bananas for breakfast.
Wharton, Edith

32.
American dreams are strongest in the hearts of those who have seen America only in their dreams.
Iyer, Pico

33.
Being blunt with your feelings is very American. In this big country, I can be as brash as New York, as hedonistic as Los Angeles, as sensuous as San Francisco, as brainy as Boston, as proper as Philadelphia, as brawny as Chicago, as warm as Palm Springs, as friendly as my adopted home town of Dallas, Fort Worth, and as peaceful as the inland waterway that rubs up against my former home in Virginia Beach.
Navratilova, Martina

34.
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

35.
Just what is it that America stands for? If she stands for one thing more than another it is for the sovereignty of self-governing people.
Woodrow Wilson

36.
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.

37.
I don't measure America by its achievement but by its potential.
Shirley Chisholm

38.
America's one of the finest countries anyone ever stole.
Bobcat Goldthwaite

39.
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

40.
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.

41.
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

42.
It is always dangerous to generalize, but the American people, while infinitely generous, are a hard and strong race and, but for the few cemeteries I have seen, I am inclined to think they never die.
Asquith, Margot

43.
America, thou half-brother of the world; with something good and bad of every land.
Bailey, Philip James

44.
America is the most grandiose experiment the world has seen, but, I am afraid, it is not going to be a success.
Freud, Sigmund

45.
America's best buy is a telephone call to the right man.
Chase, Ilka

46.
I have only one yardstick by which I test every major problem -- and that yardstick is: Is it good for America?
Eisenhower, Dwight D.

47.
America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between.
Oscar Wilde

48.
If you think the United States has stood still, who built The largest shopping center in the world?
Nixon, Richard M.

49.
To me Americanism means an imperative duty to be nobler than the rest of the world.
London, Meyer

50.
There isn't a single human characteristic that can be safely labeled as American.
Twain, Mark
