Motivational Quotes
America
Perhaps I am still very much of an American. That is to say, na?ve, optimistic, gullible. In the eyes of a European, what am I but an American to the core, an American who exposes his Americanism like a sore. Like it or not, I am a product of this land of plenty, a believer in superabundance, a believer in miracles.

Best Quotes about America
This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.
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 and its demons, Europe and its ghost.
Le Monde
America is a country that doesn't know where it is going but is determined to set a speed record getting there.
Laurence J. Peter
I feel most at home in the United States, not because it is intrinsically a more interesting country, but because no one really belongs there any more than I do. We are all there together in its wholly excellent vacuum.
Lewis, Wyndham
Europe will never be like America. Europe is a product of history. America is a product of philosophy.
Margaret Thatcher
All great change in America begins at the dinner table.
Ronald Reagan
The gap between ideals and actualities, between dreams and achievements, the gap that can spur strong men to increased exertions, but can break the spirit of others -- this gap is the most conspicuous, continuous land mark in American history. It is conspicuous and continuous not because Americans achieve little, but because they dream grandly. The gap is a standing reproach to Americans; but it marks them off as a special and singularly admirable community among the world's peoples.
Will, George F.
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
American dreams are strongest in the hearts of those who have seen America only in their dreams.
Iyer, Pico
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
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
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
There isn't a single human characteristic that can be safely labeled as American.
Twain, Mark
Building a better you is the first step to building a better America.
Ziglar, Zig
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.
The United States is just now the oldest country in the world, there always is an oldest country and she is it, it is she who is the mother of the twentieth century civilization. She began to feel herself as it just after the Civil War. And so it is a country the right age to have been born in and the wrong age to live in.
Stein, Gertrude
What you have to do is enter the fiction of America, enter America as fiction. It is, indeed, on this fictive basis that it dominates the world.
Baudrillard, Jean
The American lives even more for his goals, for the future, than the European. Life for him is always becoming, never being.
Einstein, Albert
The real democratic American idea is, not that every man shall be on a level with every other man, but that every man shall have liberty to be what God made him, without hindrance.
Beecher, Henry Ward
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.
Georg W. Hegel
What the United States does best is to understand itself. What it does worst is understand others.
Fuentes, Carlos
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.
American energy is the energy of violence, of free-floating resentment and anxiety unleashed by chronic cultural dislocations which must be, for the most part, ferociously sublimated. This energy has mainly been sublimated into crude materialism and acquisitiveness. Into hectic philanthropy. Into benighted moral crusades, the most spectacular of which was Prohibition. Into an awesome talent for uglifying countryside and cities. Into the loquacity and torment of a minority of gadflies: artists, prophets, muckrakers, cranks, and nuts. And into self-punishing neuroses. But the naked violence keeps breaking through, throwing everything into question.
Sontag, Susan
America's best buy is a telephone call to the right man.
Chase, Ilka
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
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
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
America, we are better than these last eight years. We are a better country than this.
Barack Obama
American is a very difficult language mixed with English.
It's difficult to believe that people are still starving in this country because food isn't available.
Reagan, Ronald
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
America is a land where men govern, but women rule.
Brown, John Mason
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.
On Thanksgiving Day, all over America, families sit down to dinner at the same moment -- half- time.
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
America is a great country, but you can't live in it for nothing.
Rogers, Will
In the United States there is more space where nobody is than where anybody is. That is what makes America what it is.
Gertrude Stein
The voice of America has no undertones or overtones in it. It repeats its optimistic catchwords in a tireless monologue that has the slightly metallic sound of a gramophone.
Palmer, Vance
France was a land, England was a people, but America, having about it still that quality of the idea, was harder to utter -- it was the graves at Shiloh and the tired, drawn, nervous faces of its great men, and the country boys dying in the Argonne for a phrase that was empty before their bodies withered. It was a willingness of the heart.
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
There is no country in the world where machinery is so lovely as in America.
Wilde, Oscar
The American Dream has run out of gas. The car has stopped. It no longer supplies the world with its images, its dreams, its fantasies. No more. It's over. It supplies the world with its nightmares now: the Kennedy assassination, Watergate, Vietnam...
Ballard, J. G.
America -- rather, the United States -- seems to me to be the Jew among the nations. It is resourceful, adaptable, maligned, envied, feared, imposed upon. It is warm-hearted, over-friendly; quick-witted, lavish, colorful; given to extravagant speech and gestures; its people are travelers and wanderers by nature, moving, shifting, restless; swarming in Fords, in ocean liners; craving entertainment; volatile. The chuckle among the nations of the world.
Ferber, Edna
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
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
On 16 September 1985, when the Commerce Department announced that the United States had become a debtor nation, the American Empire died.
Vidal, Gore
England and America are two countries separated by a common language.
George Bernard Shaw
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.
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
