America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.
John Quincy Adams – America, Politics
My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth.
Abraham Lincoln – Dream, America
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.
Abraham Lincoln – America
The American lives even more for his goals, for the future, than the European. Life for him is always becoming, never being.
Albert Einstein – Life in America
It is our American habit if we find the foundations of our educational structure unsatisfactory to add another story or wing. We find it easier to add a new study or course or kind of school than to recognize existing conditions so as to meet the need.
Albert Einstein – America, Education
American society is a sort of flat, fresh-water pond which absorbs silently, without reaction, anything which is thrown into it.
Henry Brooks Adams – American Society
The people of the United States are one of the people I most admire in the world. The only thing I don’t understand is why a country that manages to do so well cannot do better in choosing its president.
Gabriel García Marquez – american politics
If America taught me anything, it’s that quitting is right up there with pissing in the Girl Scouts’ lemonade jar.
Khaled Hosseini – America
I brought Hassan’s son from Afghanistan to America, lifting him from the certainty of turmoil and dropping him in a turmoil of uncertainty.
America as a land of uncertainty
In no other country in the world is the love of property keener or more alert than in the United States, and nowhere else does the majority display less inclination toward doctrines which in any way threaten the way property is owned.
Alexis de Tocqueville – United States
America just works better when more people have a chance to live their dreams.
Bill Clinton – American Society
There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America.
Bill Clinton – America
America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.
Oscar Wilde on America
I believe in an America that is officially neither Catholic, Protestant nor Jewish; where no public official either requests or accept instructions on public policy from the Pope, the National Council of Churches or any other ecclesiastical source; where no religious body seeks to impose its will directly or indirectly upon the general populace or the public acts of its officials, and where religious liberty is so indivisible that an act against one church is treated as an act against all
Jhn F. Kennedy – Believe in America
One can always retrieve a tiny little idea that is not nasty, that is not a value judgment, but that tells you the war in Vietnam and this film are cut from the same cloth, that nothing separates them, that this film is part of the war
