Motivational Quotes
America
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.

Best Quotes about America
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
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
In America everything's about who's number one today.
Springsteen, Bruce
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
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
America - a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose.
Herbert Hoover
The genius of the American system is that we have created extraordinary results from plain old ordinary people.
Gramm, Phil
To be an American (unlike being English or French or whatever) is precisely to imagine a destiny rather than to inherit one; since we have always been, insofar as we are Americans at all, inhabitants of myth rather than history.
Fiedler, Leslie
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
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
No American worth his salt should go around looking for a root. I advance this in all modesty, as a not unreasonable opinion.
Lewis, Wyndham
America, thou half-brother of the world; with something good and bad of every land.
Bailey, Philip James
It's difficult to believe that people are still starving in this country because food isn't available.
Reagan, Ronald
Europe will never be like America. Europe is a product of history. America is a product of philosophy.
Margaret Thatcher
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
If you don't know how great this country is, I know someone who does; Russia.
Frost, Robert
I have never been able to look upon America as young and vital but rather as prematurely old, as a fruit which rotted before it had a chance to ripen.
Miller, Henry
Ours is the only country deliberately founded on a good idea.
Gunther, John
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
America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.
Oscar Wilde
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
There is nothing the matter with Americans except their ideals. The real American is all right; it is the ideal American who is all wrong.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
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
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
Being American is to eat a lot of beef steak, and boy, we've got a lot more beef steak than any other country, and that's why you ought to be glad you're an American. And people have started looking at these big hunks of bloody meat on their plates, you know, and wondering what on earth they think they're doing.
Vonnegut Jr., Kurt
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.
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.
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.
Louis D. Brandeis
America: It's like Britain, only with buttons.
Starr, Ringo
The Americans are violently oral. That's why in America the mother is all-important and the father has no position at all -- isn't respected in the least. Even the American passion for laxatives can be explained as an oral manifestation. They want to get rid of any unpleasantness taken in through the mouth.
Auden, W. H.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
America is the most grandiose experiment the world has seen, but, I am afraid, it is not going to be a success.
Freud, Sigmund
I don't measure America by its achievement but by its potential.
Shirley Chisholm
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
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
People in America, of course, live in all sorts of fashions, because they are foreigners, or unlucky, or depraved, or without ambition; people live like that, but Americans live in white detached houses with green shutters. Rigidly, blindly, the dream takes precedence.
Mead, Margaret
America, we are better than these last eight years. We are a better country than this.
Barack Obama
America and its demons, Europe and its ghost.
Le Monde
There is nothing wrong with America that faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens cannot cure.
Eisenhower, Dwight D.
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
At least the Pilgrim Fathers used to shoot Indians: the Pilgrim Children merely punch time clocks.
Cummings, E.E. (Edward. E.)
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
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
America is the country where you can buy a lifetime supply of aspirin For one dollar and use it up in two weeks.
Barrymore, John
