If you give me any
problem in America I can trace it down to domestic violence. It is
the cradle of most of the problems, economic, psychological,
educational.
Salma Hayek
An awful lot of people come to college with this strange idea that
there's no longer segregation in America's schools, that our schools
are basically equal; neither of these things is true.
Jonathan Kozol
The rarest of all things in American life is charm. We spend
billions every year manufacturing fake charm that goes under the
heading of public relations. Without it, America would be grim
indeed.
Anita Loos
And I am interested in the fact that class is very much a factor in
America, even though it's not supposed to be.
Anne Tyler
Senior development specialists in the Treasury can be counted on one
hand. America's government is not even aware of the gap between its
commitments and action, because almost nobody in authority
understands the actions that would be needed to meet the commitments.
Jeffrey Sachs
My feeling about him is that the America that we have today, the
freedoms we enjoy and the privileges we have, are really the
reflection of Abe Lincoln's convictions, his vision, and his
toughness.
Gregory Peck
There are three social classes in America: upper middle class,
middle class, and lower middle class.
Judith Martin
A serious problem in America is the gap between academe and the mass
media, which is our culture. Professors of humanities, with all
their leftist fantasies, have little direct knowledge of American
life and no impact whatever on public policy.
Camille Paglia
If we can just take a few companies, and use those as models, as
examples, to show the rest of corporate America how they can become
more competitive, that's what I'd like to do and that's what I hope
to do.
Henry Kravis
It is capitalist America that produced the modern independent woman.
Never in history have women had more freedom of choice in regard to
dress, behavior, career, and sexual orientation.
Camille Paglia
I always like to refer managers in corporate America as the renters
of the corporate assets, not the owners.
Henry Kravis
The trouble, in my opinion, with corporate America today, is that
everything is thought of in quarters.
Henry Kravis
America must be the teacher of democracy, not the advertiser of the
consumer society. It is unrealistic for the rest of the world to
reach the American living standard.
Mikhail Gorbachev
America is the best half-educated country in the world.
Nicholas M. Butler
If I were still twenty years old, I would really move to America.
Theo Van Gogh
God bless America. God save the Queen. God defend New Zealand and
thank Christ for Australia.
Russell Crowe
Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn
baseball, the rules and realities of the game - and do it by
watching first some high school or small-town teams.
Jacques Barzun
I think there are a lot of reasons to be critical of the media in
America.
Laura Bush
America is a country that seems forever to be toddler or teenager,
at those two stages of human development characterized by conflict
between autonomy and security.
Anna Quindlen
Somewhere between a third and a quarter of all people living in
America today were born between 1946 and 1965 and if you think
you're tired of hearing about us, you should try being one of us.
Anna Quindlen
You have to look also to the media, where you have a vast majority
of the loudest and most influential political voices in America
media from people who came from the entertainment world.
Ben Affleck
The victim mentality may be the last uncomplicated thing about life
in America.
Anna Quindlen
And we can celebrate when we have a government that has earned back
the trust of the people it serves... when we have a government that
honors our Constitution and stands up for the values that have made
America, America: economic freedom, individual liberty, and personal
responsibility.
John Boehner
They know the importance of their mission and of America's
commitment to combating and defeating terrorism abroad, and they
know that they are making a real difference in bringing freedom to a
part of the world that has known only tyranny.
John Boehner
Spending time with America's soldiers is always inspiring.
John Boehner
In America we can say what we think, and even if we can't think, we
can say it anyhow.
Charles Kettering
Now we understand much more clearly. why people from all over the
world want to come to New York and to America. It's called freedom.
Rudy Giuliani
There is no city in America that has reduced crime as much as we
have in the last three years. This is not the product of accident.
This is the product of design.
Rudy Giuliani
What we can borrow from Ronald Reagan... is that great sense of
optimism. He led by building on the strengths of America, not
running America down.
Rudy Giuliani
America needs to be defended. We need missile defense to better
police the skies over the United States.
Rudy Giuliani
I think the Democratic Party has picked a lot of the wrong
candidates, the kind that Middle America, or people who are more
down the middle and more rational, can't side with. I think that's
been the problem.
Glenn Danzig
The Blues scene now is international. In the '50s it was purely
something that you would hear in black clubs, played by black
musicians, especially in America. But from the '60s onwards it
changed.
Mick Taylor
America is the sum of all our journeys as we search for our national
community and our national culture.
Paul Tsongas
I have a very deep care for Latin America, and, of course, for what
was going on in El Salvador.
Raul Julia
I want to deploy the leadership to meet the challenges that face us
and to restore America's greatness.
Paul Tsongas
America is hope. It is compassion. It is excellence. It is valor.
Paul Tsongas
America is woven of many strands. I would recognise them and let it
so remain. Our fate is to become one, and yet many. This is not
prophecy, but description.
Ralph Ellison
I do feel more myself in America. I can regress there, and they have
roller-coaster parks.
Alan Rickman
Now, do I think there has to be shared sacrifice among other nations
in the world who want a stable and secure world? Absolutely, there
has to be. But I don't think that America can ever abdicate its
leadership role in the world because of who we are and where we've
come from. We are the symbol for the world for freedom and liberty.
Chris Christie
I said we are going to balance an $11 billion budget deficit in a
$29 billion budget, so by percentage, the largest budget deficit in
America, by percentage, larger than California, larger than New
York, larger than Illinois. And we're going to balance that without
raising taxes on the people of the state of New Jersey.
Chris Christie
Insisting that we must tax and take and demonize those who have
already achieved the American Dream. That may turn out to be a good
re-election strategy for President Obama, but is a demoralizing
message for America.
Chris Christie
I asked my parents for permission to study in America and they were
so sure that I wouldn't get in and get a scholarship that they
encouraged me to try. So I applied to Yale and got an excellent
scholarship. I then worked for the Boston Consulting Group for six
and half years.
Indra Nooyi
Well, let me tell you, after three years of Obama, we are hopeless
and changeless, and we need Mitt Romney to bring us back, to bring
America back.
Chris Christie
Furthermore, America suffers not only from a lack of standards, but
also not infrequently from a confusion or an inversion of standards.
Irving Babbitt
I think America needs lots of tough people. Not just me. I think
America needs to get tougher, all of us.
Chris Christie
It was very much like Norman Rockwell: small town America. We walked
to school or rode our bikes, stopped at the penny candy store on the
way home from school, skated on the pond.
Dorothy Hamill
I have to confess that a strong contributing factor was that I had
just taken what was probably the first acid ever made, given to me
by a guy called Johnny Fellows, who had just returned from America.
Jim Capaldi
I think the Democrats are catering to them, but, you know, in the
entire history of the United States of America, there has never been
a judge who has been refused a vote when there was a majority of
Senators willing to vote for his confirmation, never in history.
Pat Robertson
I cite in my book countless examples of the foundational documents
of the colonial period in America and the writings of the leaders,
that this was intended to be a Christian nation.
Pat Robertson
The problem we have in America is the systematic erosion of our
religious values in an attempt by certain liberal groups to expunge
our Christian heritage from the public square.
Pat Robertson
In 1998, I founded the American Center for Law and Justice, probably
the premier public interest law firm in America defending the rights
of believers.
Pat Robertson
The founding document of the United States of America acknowledges
the Lordship of Jesus Christ because we are a Christian nation.
Pat Robertson
Hip-hop has done so much for racial relations, and I don't think
it's given the proper credit. It has changed America immensely. I'm
going to make a very bold statement: Hip-hop has done more than any
leader, politician, or anyone to improve race relations.
Jay-Z
I love music, I love all kinds of music, particularly jazz. Jazz is
an extension of America. There's no other country in the world that
could have produced jazz.
Jon Huntsman, Jr.
This is the marketplace of political ideas. This is how America
operates. It's a free market. It's free-wheeling. From the outside,
it looks unpredictable. There's a circus-like free market.
Jon Huntsman, Jr.
When America closes its doors, so does everybody else. We are the
primary engine of growth in the world and we are the only beacon of
free trade left, and open markets.
Jon Huntsman, Jr.
Today, I'm a candidate for the office of president of the United
States of America. My kids can't believe I just said that.
Jon Huntsman, Jr.
When we're touring America or Europe, we use our own plane and a
great advantage of that is it cuts out an awful lot of time checking
in. You literally drive up to the plane, get on and then drive off
at the other end.
Phil Collins
In 1977 we played America and Europe three times, and Japan - my
marriage suffered as a result. My then wife took the kids to Canada
to be near her parents.
Phil Collins
Congress has turned its back on America's working families. There
are Teamster families in every congressional district in America,
and those families vote. Those who would oppose these families have
done so at their own political peril.
James P. Hoffa
We didn't start this war - the right wing did. We're tired of seeing
good-paying jobs shipped overseas. This fight is about the economy,
it's about jobs and it's about rebuilding America.
James P. Hoffa
This is just the beginning of a new era for America's workers.
James P. Hoffa
If one of us, any of us, any American is traveling in a town
somewhere in America and a medical crisis hits them, for someone who
is diabetic or perhaps has heart disease or some other problems,
where do we get the records to determine what to do?
Timothy Murphy
The best doctors and the best hospitals in America, if they cannot
get the patient information they need when they need it, it can lead
to morbid consequences: Higher mortality.
Timothy Murphy
My favorite country is America. I love going there! I go in the
local lake near where I work on Sundays. It's called Berry Hill.
Tom Felton
Advertising is the genie which is transforming America into a place
of comfort, luxury and ease for millions.
William Allen White
My advice to the women of America is to raise more hell and fewer
dahlias.
William Allen White
You're not anyone in America unless you're on TV.
Nicole Kidman
Half a century ago, the amazing courage of Rosa Parks, the visionary
leadership of Martin Luther King, and the inspirational actions of
the civil rights movement led politicians to write equality into the
law and make real the promise of America for all her citizens.
David Cameron
Yes, America must do the right thing, but to provide moral
leadership, America must do it in the right way, too.
David Cameron
The United States of America have taken their name from the United
States of the Netherlands.
Seth Low
My father described this tall lady who stands in the middle of the
New York harbor, holding high a torch to welcome people seeking
freedom in America. I instantly fell in love.
Yakov Smirnoff
In America, they are paranoid about ruining the reputations of
people once they are dead and cannot answer back. They have this
fascination which to me seems cruel and morbid. I do not want any
part of it.
Isabella Rossellini
They're reacting and that's wonderful. It's better than them sitting
there doing nothing. I say make them react - do whatever's in your
power to move the audience, and if that's where it is, and there
where it is with America, sex and violence, then I say project it.
Alice Cooper
The only things that the United States has given to the world are
skyscrapers, jazz, and cocktails. That is all. And in Cuba, in our
America, they make much better cocktails.
Federico Garcia Lorca
My earnest hope is that what we started in terms of building
partnerships with communities across America will continue, that we
will continue our efforts to reduce crime and violence.
Janet Reno
My daddy expected that my brothers and I and our generation would
make the world a better place. He had lived in an America of
continual social progress.
Wynton Marsalis
Martin Luther King said, and it is sadly still true, that one of the
most segregated times in America is the hour of worship.
Barney Frank
One of the misperceptions that exists in the Muslim world, which
needs to be fixed, is the perception that Muslims in America are -
are - are living in - in very, very, very bad circumstances. They
cannot practice religion freely. It is not the truth at all. The
fact is, we are practicing. We fast, we pray, we do our prayers.
Feisal Abdul Rauf
We are Americans. We - we - we are - we are doctors. We are
investment bankers. We are taxi drivers. We are store keepers. We
are lawyers. We are - we are part of the fabric of America. And the
way that America today treats its Muslims is being watched by over a
billion Muslims worldwide.
Feisal Abdul Rauf
So this is the only TV show in America where I am quite confident
that you, the audience, will share my excitement when I tell you
that coming up in our next segment, we have the best graph ever.
Best graph ever.
Rachel Maddow
If the colonists hadn't rejected British militarism and the massive
financial burden of maintaining the British military, America
wouldn't exist.
Rachel Maddow
England and America
are two countries separated by the same language.
George Bernard Shaw
An asylum for the sane would be empty in America.
George Bernard Shaw
All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise, not
from defects in their Constitution or Confederation, not from want
of honor or virtue, so much as from the downright ignorance of the
nature of coin, credit and circulation.
John Adams
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
America must not ignore the threat gathering against us. Facing
clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof, the
smoking gun that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud.
George W. Bush
On September 11 2001, America felt its vulnerability even to threats
that gather on the other side of the Earth. We resolved then, and we
are resolved today, to confront every threat from any source that
could bring sudden terror and suffering to America.
George W. Bush
I love America more than any other country in this world, and,
exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her
perpetually.
James A. Baldwin
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.
Henry Miller
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.
Henry Miller
America makes prodigious mistakes, America has colossal faults, but
one thing cannot be denied: America is always on the move. She may
be going to Hell, of course, but at least she isn't standing still.
e. e. cummings
France, and the whole of Europe have a great culture and an amazing
history. Most important thing though is that people there know how
to live! In America they've forgotten all about it. I'm afraid that
the American culture is a disaster.
Johnny Depp
America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on
imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.
Harry S. Truman
I've said many a time that I think the Un-American Activities
Committee in the House of Representatives was the most un-American
thing in America!
Harry S. Truman
And my point was one I think that you'd agree with, which is there's
no room in America for a black racist, a Latino racist, or a white
racist, or an Asian racist, or a Native American racist. Now, we're
either color blind or we're not color blind.
Newt Gingrich
I believe we are now in a struggle over whether or not we are going
to save America.
Newt Gingrich
The most important social welfare program in America is a job.
Newt Gingrich
Watching President Obama apologize last week for America's arrogance
- before a French audience that owes its freedom to the sacrifices
of Americans - helped convince me that he has a deep-seated
antipathy toward American values and traditions.
Rick Santorum
If all you think we need to do to get this economy going and get
this country on the right track is to cut government and reduce
taxes, you don't understand America. America is a moral enterprise,
not an economic enterprise.
Rick Santorum
I believe in capitalism for everybody, not necessarily high finance
but capitalism that works for the working men and women of this
country who are out there paddling alone in America right now.
Rick Santorum
It was wonderful to
find America, but it would have been more wonderful to miss it.
Mark Twain
America had often
been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.
Oscar Wilde
America is the only
country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization
in between.
Oscar Wilde
In America the
President reigns for four years, and Journalism governs for ever and
ever.
Oscar Wilde
It's nice to see that
people in Middle America are really affected.
Randy Harrison
Things will be very bad for Latin America. You only have to consider
the ambitions and the doctrines of the empire, which regards this
region as its backyard.
Jose Saramago
We were in the heart of the ghetto in Chicago during the Depression,
and every block - it was probably the biggest black ghetto in
America - every block also is the spawning ground practically for
every gangster, black and white, in America too.
Quincy Jones
Well, if you look at all of the cultures in America, this is a great
opportunity for us to really get acquainted with the rest of the
world. America is the only place you can do that, but we don't have
sense enough to take advantage of that.
Erykah Badu
It's almost like a lot of black people in America, a lot of young
black men, are born with this cloud over their heads. It's their
penitentiary cloud, this philosophy we all have, that it's harder
for us.
Erykah Badu
The problem with liberal Protestantism in America is not that it has
not been orthodox enough, but that it has lost a lot of religious
substance.
Peter L. Berger
In Europe art has to a large degree taken the place of religion. In
America it seems rather to be science.
Johan Huizinga
Do you know anything that in all its innocence is more humiliating
than the funny pages of a Sunday newspaper in America?
Johan Huizinga
You don't have to be old in America to say of a world you lived in:
That world is gone.
Peggy Noonan
We've always been involved with America - I have a son who lives
there and it's a big part of my life.
Colin Firth
Most governments in Latin America have failed to recognize the
rights of indigenous people and their right to their own traditional
territories.
Bianca Jagger
The family ties between hundreds of thousands of German families and
their American relatives led many to think that America would never
join a second war against Germany.
Julius Streicher
I think for the U.S. government the Sandinistas represented a threat
to their dominance of Latin America.
Bianca Jagger
In this case it appealed to me partly because it felt close to me in
some ways. This is about a confused, bewildered middle class
Englishman adrift in smalltown America and that has definitely been
me.
Colin Firth
I have a very long relationship with America. My mother grew up
there and I felt to some extent that I partly belong there. I was
schooled there briefly for about a year.
Colin Firth
This point seems counter-intuitive, given the amount of conspicuous
vulgarity, vice, and immorality in America. Indeed some Islamic
fundamentalists argue that their regimes are morally superior to the
United States because they seek to foster virtue among the citizens.
Dinesh D'Souza
Seeking fortunes in America led to Germany losing people, and the
American continent received many people whose contributions are
particularly clear in the agricultural and technical fields.
Julius Streicher
When someone succeeded in quickly making a lot of money in America,
people said he had made his fortune.
Julius Streicher
America is simultaneously the most attractive and most repulsive
place on the planet. It is most loved and most hated.
Dinesh D'Souza
The descendants of European immigrants do not govern the United
States of America today. The foreign and domestic policies of the
country are made by the Jews and their lackeys.
Julius Streicher
'War on terror' is a misnomer. It would be like calling America's
involvement in World War II a 'war on kamikazism.' Terrorism, like
kamikazism, is a tactic.
Dinesh D'Souza
The diplomatic representatives of the United States of America to
other nations are almost entirely Jews.
Julius Streicher
I hope that America as a whole, and especially its architects, will
become more seriously involved in producing a new architectural
culture that would bring the nation to the apex - where it has stood
before - and lead the world.
Tadao Ando
I hope America can also be the cultural leader of the world, and use
this frontier spirit to lead and show others that we need courage to
go places where we have not gone before.
Tadao Ando
I do not want any child in America to have my childhood because it
was taken away from me because I just wasn't good enough; well I am
good enough now.
Richard Simmons
You always want to try to make something new, and, of course,
America is the world leader in economics today.
Tadao Ando
No other group in America has so had their identity socialized out
of existence as have black women... When black people are talked
about the focus tends to be on black men; and when women are talked
about the focus tends to be on white women.
bell hooks
According to USA today, the average length of an attention span of a
man in America is 23 minutes.
Robert Fripp
I'm afraid, based on my own experience, that fascism will come to
America in the name of national security.
Jim Garrison
The spirit is at home, if not entirely satisfied, in America.
Allan Bloom
America has entered one of its periods of historic madness, but this
is the worst I can remember.
John Le Carre
The Smithsonian Festival of American Folklife, actually, was an
effort to put something on the mall in Washington so American
tourists could walk through America, and in their minds everything
on the mall would be American.
Bernice Johnson Reagon
Metal is still the biggest music now in America.
Sebastian Bach
So this is America. They must be out of their minds.
Ringo Starr
There is one word in America that says it all, and that one word is,
'You never know.'
Joaquin Andujar
I think Barack Obama is a socialist. I think he cares for his
country - don't get me wrong about that - but I think he truly
misunderstands what this country was based upon, the values that
America was based upon, which was free enterprise and having the
ability to risk your capital and having a chance to have a return on
your investment.
Rick Perry
Crucial to understanding federalism in modern day America is the
concept of mobility, or 'the ability to vote with your feet.' If you
don't support the death penalty and citizens packing a pistol - don't
come to Texas. If you don't like medicinal marijuana and gay
marriage, don't move to California.
Rick Perry
We've got the wind at our back right now. Americans are waking up to
the realities of their previous choices. We must keep America moving
back to preeminence because our values and conservative ideas are
the world's greatest hope.
Rick Perry
President Obama's call for nearly a half-trillion dollars in more
government stimulus when America has more than $14 trillion in debt
is guided by his mistaken belief that we can spend our way to
prosperity.
Rick Perry
America's greatness is not found in the size of its government.
America's greatness resides in the hearts and the minds of the
people.
Rick Perry
America needs jobs, smaller government, less spending and a
president with the courage to offer more than yet another speech.
Rick Perry
Page one of any economic plan to get America working is to give a
pink slip to the current resident in the White House.
Rick Perry
The Veteran's History Project, a nationwide volunteer effort to
collect oral histories from America's war veterans, provides an
avenue to do just that. Now in its fifth year, the Project has
collected more than 40,000 individual stories.
Spencer Bachus
That should be our test regarding immigrants. Those who come to
America to tear it down or live off of others should not be
welcomed.
Marvin Olasky
For generations, America has served as a beacon of hope and freedom
for those outside her borders, and as a land of limitless
opportunity for those risking everything to seek a better life.
Their talents and contributions have continued to enrich our
country.
Spencer Bachus
As the number of available jobs has decreased in border states like
Texas, cities halfway across America have begun to see an influx of
illegal immigrants in search of employment.
Spencer Bachus
Immigration in America is a highly polarized issue and there are
passionate views on both sides.
Spencer Bachus
In America nobody says you have to keep the circumstances somebody
else gives you.
Amy Tan
The best source for finding an agent is called Literary Agents of
North America. It's a complete list of agents, not only by name and
address, but by type of book they represent and by what their
submission criteria are.
Sara Paretsky
White-collar crime gets more outrageous by the second in America.
Sara Paretsky
America is good enough for us.
John Sergeant Wise
I believe in America. America's made my fortune.
Mario Puzo
We have to make America the best place in the world to do business.
Dick Cheney
And freedom is what America means to the world.
Audie Murphy
We once did six tours of America in 15 months.
John Bonham
We believe that when you make Black America better - you make all of
America better.
Tavis Smiley
The time is now for Congress to address health care in America.
John Conyers
In the more recently disclosed field of history in the ancient Near
East, however, there has been no such sense of responsibility
displayed by historians either in Europe or America.
James H. Breasted
The vote by the Judiciary Committee reflects the fact that John
Roberts is an exceptional nominee with a conservative judicial
philosophy - a philosophy that represents mainstream America.
Jay Alan Sekulow
We of America are especially fitted to visualize and to understand
the marvellous transformation of a wilderness into a land of
splendid cities.
James H. Breasted
I like America, and I think probably the American people like me.
Fernando Alonso
There never was a social change in America without angry people at
the heart.
Keith Miller
In America, all things are possible.
Mel Martinez
The first rule to living in America is 'Stop tap dancing, you
fool!'.
Ryan Stiles
Until quite recently dance in America was the ragged Cinderella of
the arts.
Shana Alexander
I would like to see America some day.
Hanoi Hannah
Perhaps, after all, America never has been discovered. I myself
would say that it had merely been detected.
Oscar Wilde
All great change in America begins at the dinner table.
Ronald Reagan
I don't measure America by its achievement but by its potential.
Shirley Chisholm
America is a mistake, a giant mistake.
Sigmund Freud
Intellectually, I know that America is no better than any other
country; emotionally I know she is better than every other country.
Sinclair Lewis
I just want to say this. I want to say it gently but I want to say
it firmly: There is a tendency for the world to say to America, "the
big problems of the world are yours, you go and sort them out," and
then to worry when America wants to sort them out.
Tony Blair
Thank God we're not
like America: everyone wants to look like they're 20. In Europe we
admire grown-up women. I think men revere older women.
Francesca Annis
I guess I wanted to leave America for awhile. It wasn't that I
wanted to become an expatriate, or just never come back, I needed
some breathing room. I'd already been translating French poetry, I'd
been to Paris once before and liked it very much, and so I just went.
Paul Auster
I just read that 81 percent of Americans are ready to vote for a
woman. So it sounds like America is ready.
Geena Davis
I like America to some extent.
Michael Moore
I have no idea how I'm perceived in America because I don't live the
reality of America.
Monica Bellucci
In America you need a bodyguard to go out.
Catherine Deneuve
Certainly coming to America has been extraordinary.
Tim Roth
This man called President Bush has a lot to answer for. I don't know
if this man is really taking care of America. This government has
been shameful.
Pierce Brosnan
There is every indication that we are to see new developments of the
power of aggregated capital to serve civilization, and that the new
developments will be made right here in America.
William Graham Sumner
There are some circles in America where it seems to be more socially
acceptable to carry a hand-gun than a packet of cigarettes.
Katherine Whitehorn
What a pity, when Christopher Columbus discovered America, that he
ever mentioned it.
Margot Asquith
We must get away from the idea that America is to be the leader of
the world in everything.
Francis John McConnell
Of course, when I started my career, like anyone else who was 16 at
the time, we were besotted by the rock-n-roll scene from America,
and all I was interested in was having a career of my own.
Cliff Richard
I've given no thought to moving to America at all.
Eric Bana
In America you can say anything you want - as long as it doesn't
have any effect.
Paul Goodman
America makes up its own mind about what it wants to see.
Ajay Naidu
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
America: It's like Britain, only with buttons.
Ringo Starr
Well, my relationship to America at the time I left was very limited.
Harry Mathews
America is a land of taxation that was founded to avoid taxation.
Laurence J. Peter
Only the guys who never made it and will never make it in the U.S.
need to put up the front that they don't care about America.
Gavin Rossdale
Even though I grew up as a Sephardic Jew in Brooklyn where we ate
Syrian food and went to temple, it was still America.
Isaac Mizrahi
In America, public opinion is the leader.
Frances Perkins
A black agenda is jobs, jobs, jobs, quality education, investment in
infrastructure and strong democratic regulation of corporations. The
black agenda, at its best, looks at America from the vantage point
of the least of these and asks what's best for all.
Cornel West
We've performed in South America and in Japan.
Julie London
America is hungry for people who believe in something.
Henry Hyde
Only when I came to America did I think of myself as British.
Naveen Andrews
We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. When the loyal
opposition dies, I think the soul of America dies with it.
Edward R. Murrow
Imagination has brought mankind through the dark ages to its present
state of civilization. Imagination led Columbus to discover America.
Imagination led Franklin to discover electricity.
L. Frank Baum
America does not fight for land, glory or riches.
Virginia Foxx
As a New Yorker, I'm someone who lives on an island and looks across
to America.
Laurie Anderson
We do not have a functioning market in the true sense of the word in
health care. That's a layer of transparency that's sorely needed in
America.
Paul Ryan
When I began we did not really have a lot of First Amendment law. It
is really surprising to think of it this way, but a lot of the law -
most of the law that relates to the First Amendment freedom of the
press in America - is really within living memory.
Floyd Abrams
I wouldn't make an anti-American film. I'm one of the most
pro-American foreigners I know. I love America and Americans.
Michael Caine
America was and is the immigrant's dream.
Don DeLillo
Latinos have fought in all of America's wars, beginning with the
Revolutionary War. Many Latinos are fighting and dying for our
country today in Iraq, just as several of their ancestors fought for
freedom in Mexico over a century ago.
Joe Baca
In America, politicians do whatever to get re-elected, and a lot of
decisions that were being made at that time by Kennedy were certain
not to get him re-elected.
Kevin Costner
I am passionately interested in understanding how my country works.
And if you want to know about this thing called the United States of
America you have to know about the Civil War.
Ken Burns
Alfie was the first time I was above the title; the first time I
became a star in America.
Michael Caine
I've never really been America's sweetheart, but for a minute I
think that's what they wanted me to be.
Katherine Heigl
January is the garbage can of movies in America, directly after all
the Oscar contenders have been out.
Michael Caine
China will soon emit more greenhouse gases than America, but its
regime knows if it caps aspirations there will be a revolution.
James Lovelock
If it hadn't been for the Cold War, neither Russia nor America would
have been sending people into space.
James Lovelock
I think Canada, our industry is still somewhat based in America's
industry.
Scott Speedman
America is at that awkward stage; it's too late to work within the
system, but too early to shoot the bastards.
Claire Wolfe
Esso has been the main one in America spreading the disinformation
that there is no global warming problem.
James Lovelock
This is really America in therapy, people trying to get themselves
together and be whole.
David Viscott
You know, I've got experiences going back to the wage price controls
in the Nixon administration where, in effect, we had what I think
was a terrible mistake, in that case a Republican administration,
where moved in and tried to control the wages, prices and profits of
every enterprise in America. It was a huge mistake.
Dick Cheney
Head Start's ability to improve the educational skills and
opportunities of Latino children will be an important component of
America's future success.
Joe Baca
Jazz is a very accurate, curiously accurate accompaniment to 20th
century America.
Ken Burns
In fact, I believe that we need better sex education in our own
culture, here in America, so that young folk learn about things like
venereal disease before they encounter it.
Piers Anthony
I've quoted Lost in America several times.
Robin Tunney
Today, the Iraqi citizen sees that America is coming and wants to
occupy his country and kill him, and he is willing to experience for
himself what happened in Palestine.
Bashar al-Assad
So often corporate America, business America, are the worst
communicators, because all they understand are facts, and they
cannot tell a story. They know how to explain their quarterly
results, but they don't know how to explain what they mean.
Frank Luntz
There are three critical ingredients to democratic renewal and
progressive change in America: good public policy, grassroots
organizing and electoral politics.
Paul Wellstone
You Europeans know nothing about America. Because we amass large
fortunes you think we care for nothing but money. We are nothing for
it; the moment we have it we spend it, sometimes well, sometimes ill,
but we spend it. Money is nothing to us; it's merely the symbol of
success. We are the greatest idealists in the world; I happen to
think that we've set our ideal on the wrong objects; I happen to
think that the greatest ideal man can set before himself is
self-perfection.
W. Somerset Maugham
I know nothing grander, better exercise, better digestion, more
positive proof of the past, the triumphant result of faith in human
kind, than a well-contested American national election.
Walt Whitman
Other lands have their vitality in a few, a class, but we have it in
the bulk of our people.
Walt Whitman
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
There's the one thing no nation can ever accuse us of and that is
secret diplomacy. Our foreign are an open book, generally a check
book.
Will Rogers
America is not a mere body of traders; it is a body of free men. Our
greatness-built upon freedom-is moral, not material. we have a great
ardor for gain; but we have a deep passion for the rights of man.
Woodrow Wilson
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
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
America will never be
destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it
will be because we destroyed ourselves.
Abraham Lincoln
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
It was wonderful to find America, but it would have been more
wonderful to miss it.
Mark Twain
America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence
without civilization in between.
Oscar Wilde
In America the President reigns for four years, and Journalism
governs forever and ever.
Oscar Wilde
Perhaps, after all, America never has been discovered. I myself
would say that it had merely been detected.
Oscar Wilde
In America the young are always ready to give to those who are older
than themselves the full benefits of their inexperience.
Oscar Wilde
With our technology, with objects, literally three people in a
garage can blow away what 200 people at Microsoft can do. Literally
can blow it away. Corporate America has a need that is so huge and
can save them so much money, or make them so much money, or cost
them so much money if they miss it, that they are going to fuel the
object revolution.
Steve Jobs
All great change in America begins at the dinner table.
Ronald Reagan
I am mortified to be told that, in the United States of America, the
sale of a book can become a subject of inquiry, and of criminal
inquiry too.
Thomas Jefferson
Peace and abstinence from European interferences are our objects,
and so will continue while the present order of things in America
remain uninterrupted.
Thomas Jefferson
No one has been barred on account of his race from fighting or dying
for America, there are no white or colored signs on the foxholes or
graveyards of battle.
John F. Kennedy
America has tossed its cap over the wall of space.
John F. Kennedy
I look forward to a great future for America - a future in which our
country will match its military strength with our moral restraint,
its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purpose.
John F. Kennedy
The world knows that America will never start a war. This generation
of Americans has had enough of war and hate... we want to build a
world of peace where the weak are secure and the strong are just.
John F. Kennedy
Let us not forget who we are. Drug abuse is a repudiation of
everything America is.
Ronald Reagan
Today we did what we had to do. They counted on America to be
passive. They counted wrong.
Ronald Reagan
If the United States of America or Britain is having elections, they
don't ask for observers from Africa or from Asia. But when we have
elections, they want observers.
Nelson Mandela
Some day, following the example of the United States of America,
there will be a United States of Europe.
George Washington
America is another name for opportunity.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
America wants its respect.
Tupac Shakur
It's never paid to bet against America. We come through things, but
its not always a smooth ride.
Warren Buffett
When you're born you get a ticket to the freak show. When you're
born in America, you get a front row seat.
George Carlin
America... 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.
Hunter S. Thompson
Laughter is America's most important export.
Walt Disney
Of all the men that have run for president in the twentieth century,
only George McGovern truly understood what a monument America could
be to the human race.
Hunter S. Thompson
Everyone assumes America must play the leading role in crafting some
settlement or compromise between the Israelis and the Palestinians.
But Jefferson, Madison, and Washington explicitly warned against
involving ourselves in foreign conflicts.
Ron Paul
To me, to be a conservative means to conserve the good parts of
America and to conserve our Constitution.
Ron Paul
The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price,
peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of
soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.
Theodore Roosevelt
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
Europe was created by history. America was created by philosophy.
Margaret Thatcher
Building a better you is the first step to building a better
America.
Zig Ziglar
America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition.
Instead, they overlap, and share common principles of justice and
progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.
Barack Obama
Americans... still believe in an America where anything's possible -
they just don't think their leaders do.
Barack Obama
There is not a liberal America and a conservative America - there is
the United States of America. There is not a black America and a
white America and latino America and asian America - there's the
United States of America.
Barack Obama
My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an
abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. They would give
me an African name, Barack, or blessed, believing that in a tolerant
America your name is no barrier to success.
Barack Obama
There's not a liberal America and a conservative America - there's
the United States of America.
Barack Obama
There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq and there are
patriots who supported the war in Iraq. We are one people, all of us
pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending
the United States of America.
Barack Obama
John Kerry believes in an America where hard work is rewarded.
Barack Obama
In America, there's a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in
the world.
Barack Obama
The day I'm inaugurated, this country looks at itself differently
and the world looks at America differently. If you believe that we've
got to heal America and we've got to repair our standing in the
world, then I think my supporters believe that I am a messenger who
can deliver that message around the world in a way that no other
candidate can do.
Barack Obama
I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor
of gay marriage. But when you start playing around with
constitutions, just to prohibit somebody who cares about another
person, it just seems to me that's not what America's about. Usually,
our constitutions expand liberties, they don't contract them.
Barack Obama
The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt
limit is a sign of leadership failure. America has a debt problem
and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I, therefore,
intend to oppose the effort to increase America's debt.
Barack Obama
Let me even say before I even get inaugurated, during the transition
we are going to be having meetings all across the country with
community organizations so that you have input into the agenda for
the next presidency of the United States of America.
Barack Obama
I said that America's role would be limited; that we would not put
ground troops into Libya; that we would focus our unique
capabilities on the front end of the operation, and that we would
transfer responsibility to our allies and partners.
Barack Obama
So while I will never minimize the costs involved in military
action, I am convinced that a failure to act in Libya would have
carried a far greater price for America.
Barack Obama
I read in the newspapers they are going to have 30 minutes of
intellectual stuff on television every Monday from 7:30 to 8. to
educate America. They couldn't educate America if they started at
6:30.
Groucho Marx
Yesterday, December seventh, 1941, a date which will live in infamy,
the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked
by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The school is the last expenditure upon which America should be
willing to economize.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Yes, America is gigantic, but a gigantic mistake.
Sigmund Freud
America is a mistake, a giant mistake.
Sigmund Freud
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.
Jean Baudrillard
Jamaica has problems; America has problems; everywhere has problems.
Ziggy Marley
I'm not an American, Do they count the votes in America? I haven't
voted in Jamaica either.
Ziggy Marley
A man builds a house in England with the expectation of living in it
and leaving it to his children; we shed our houses in America as
easily as a snail does his shell.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
The only foes that threaten America are the enemies at home, and
these are ignorance, superstition and incompetence.
Elbert Hubbard
I know my own deficiencies, one of which is that I had lived away
from America for such a long time. It's called expatriate.
James Hillman
It is easier for women to succeed in business, the arts, and
politics in America than in Europe.
Hedy Lamarr
America is a hurricane, and the only people who do not hear the
sound are those fortunate if incredibly stupid and smug White
Protestants who live in the center, in the serene eye of the big
wind.
Norman Mailer
In America all too few blows are struck into flesh. We kill the
spirit here, we are experts at that. We use psychic bullets and kill
each other cell by cell.
Norman Mailer
In America few people will trust you unless you are irreverent.
Norman Mailer
Europe's the mayonnaise, but America supplies the good old lobster.
David Herbert Lawrence
Wojtyla was a warrior, who did more to end the Soviet Union than
even America.
Oriana Fallaci
What the people want is very simple - they want an America as good
as its promise.
Barbara Jordan
Nowhere has
specialization penetrated so deeply into the building professions as
North America.
Arthur Erickson
Materialism has never been so ominous as now in North America, as
management takes over.
Arthur Erickson
I had a really good time with Martha Stewart, who also is somebody I
really admire a lot. I've learned a lot from her and I think all of
America has, about attention to detail and using fresh ingredients
and making things beautiful and special.
Ted Allen
The fascists in most Latin American countries tell the people that
the reason their wages will not buy as much in the way of goods is
because of Yankee imperialism. The fascists in Latin America learn
to speak and act like natives.
Henry A. Wallace
Fascism is a worldwide disease. Its greatest threat to the United
States will come after the war, either via Latin America or within
the United States itself.
Henry A. Wallace
The European brand of fascism will probably present its most serious
postwar threat to us via Latin America.
Henry A. Wallace
I adore Chicago. It is the pulse of America.
Sarah Bernhardt
America's greatness has been the greatness of a free people who
shared certain moral commitments. Freedom without moral commitment
is aimless and promptly self-destructive.
John W. Gardner
Whatever I do, it's my business. It's not my job to parent America.
Christina Aguilera
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.
Jacques Maritain
Russia, France,
Germany and China. They revere their writers. America is still a
frontier country that almost shudders at the idea of creative
expression.
James A. Michener
Mr. Churchill is proud of Britain's stand alone, after France had
fallen and before America entered the War.
Eamon de Valera
In America, educators punish those who actually think for themselves.
There is only acceptance for popular opinion.
Bryant H. McGill
America is the country where you can buy a lifetime supply of
aspirin For one dollar and use it up in two weeks.
John Barrymore
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.
E. M. Forster
If you disagree with me, fine! Because that's the great thing about
America, we can disagree!
Michael Stipe
To me, America is just another market.
Quentin Tarantino
This is my home. Home is where the disease is. As long as I stay in
America, I'll never run out of subjects for songs.
Jello Biafra
In America, through pressure of conformity, there is freedom of
choice, but nothing to choose from.
Peter Ustinov
I believe in the America people's ability to govern themselves. If
government would just get out of the way and allow them to lead
their lives as they choose, they will succeed.
Jesse Ventura
Again and again, to be sure, on the way to America, and under many
other circumstances, man has passed through the most adverse
climates and has survived, but he has flourished and waxed strong
only in certain zones.
Ellsworth Huntington
Thus the races, though alike in their physical response to climate,
may possibly be different in their mental response because they have
approached America by different paths.
Ellsworth Huntington
In fact, the history of North America has been perhaps more
profoundly influenced by man's inheritance from his past homes than
by the physical features of his present home.
Ellsworth Huntington
America is the last great goal of these migrations.
Ellsworth Huntington
In America the most widespread type of forest is the evergreen
coniferous woodland of the north.
Ellsworth Huntington
From first to last the civilization of America has been bound up
with its physical environment.
Ellsworth Huntington
It seems strange that almost no other traces of the strong vikings
are found in America.
Ellsworth Huntington
The coast of British Columbia was one of the three chief centers of
aboriginal America.
Ellsworth Huntington
Some of my ancestors were religious dissenters who came to America
over three hundred years ago. Others were abolitionists in New
England in the eighteen forties and fifties.
Pete Seeger
America forms the longest and straightest bone in the earth's
skeleton.
Ellsworth Huntington
By ignoring a lot of American culture you can write more interesting
stories. Unfortunately, if you were writing about America as it is,
you'd be writing about a lot of people sitting in front of
television sets.
Richard Russo
This is the basis, and I am not being tried for whether I am a
Communist, I am being tried for fighting for the rights of my
people, who are still second-class citizens in this United States of
America.
Paul Robeson
There's intense national feeling in America that could be called
patriotism.
Michael Ignatieff
The great social adventure of America is no longer the conquest of
the wilderness but the absorption of fifty different peoples.
Walter Lippmann
Ladies and gentlemen, god bless America - land of the free, home of
the brave.
Dave Grohl
In America and in most of the industrialized world, men are coming
to be thought of by feminists in very much the same way that Jews
were thought of by early Nazis. The comparison is overwhelmingly
scary.
Warren Farrell
It evolved from my experience in the fifties, growing up during the
McCarthy era, and hearing a lot of assumptions that America was
wonderful and Communism was terrible.
Warren Farrell
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
If there is illness in your home, do you not need a doctor from
outside? If your home catches on fire, do you not need fire fighters
from outside? God has sent me to America in the role of a doctor, in
the role of a fire fighter.
Sun Myung Moon
It's going to be really weird when I'm 80 years old, in a walker,
and people are still calling me America's sweetheart. We need a new
one.
Mary Lou Retton
September 11th was a moment when America had the sympathy of the
world.
Tom Ford
When the youth of America gets together, amazing things happen.
Tom Ford
In Hungary acting is a profession. In America it is a decision.
Bela Lugosi
If we have to use force, it is because we are America. We are the
indispensable nation. We stand tall. We see further into the future.
Madeleine Albright
It's a great day in America when white people, black people and
Latinos can all come together and pick on another minority.
George Lopez
I live in America. I have the right to write whatever I want. And
it's equaled by another right just as powerful: the right not to
read it. Freedom of speech includes the freedom to offend people.
Brad Thor
The promise of America is one immigration policy for all who seek to
enter our shores, whether they come from Mexico, Haiti or Canada,
there must be one set of rules for everybody. We cannot welcome
those to come and then try and act as though any culture will not be
respected or treated inferior. We cannot look at the Latino
community and preach "one language." No one gave them an English
test before they sent them to Iraq to fight for America.
Al Sharpton
To the world, you are America.
Charlton Heston
We need to remake the Democratic party. We need to remake America.
Al Gore
The people that are running the bulk of the comic shops in North
America aren't business people and they don't understand sales. They
don't understand good product.
Rob Walton
Since the Gulf War, since the new World Order, America is now the
number one arms dealer in the world.
Rob Walton
It is tragic that many in America think of us - Christians - as
being people who hate others.
Anne Rice
One of the greatest necessities in America is to discover creative
solitude.
Carl Sandburg
Anyone who draws attention to himself as an individual, is viewed
with suspicion. We acquired this tendency, of course, from America,
and we must resist it: levelling, and imitation of what others are
already doing.
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau
America fell in love with the innocence of a kid who just was honest,
saying, I did the best I could, and I had no formal training.
Paula Abdul
America is a large friendly dog in a small room. Every time it wags
its tail it knocks over a chair.
Arnold J. Toynbee
The thing you notice here after America is how refreshingly ordinary
people look because they haven't had their chin wrapped around the
back of their ears.
Ian Mckellen
People want to see this America, this real America.
Michael Taylor
I received an OBE from the Queen, which probably doesn't mean
anything in America but is quite nice in England - the Order of the
British Empire for services to drama.
Joan Collins
America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone
directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval
of civilization.
Georges Clemenceau
America - it is a fabulous country, the only fabulous country; it is
the only place where miracles not only happen, but where they happen
all the time.
Thomas Wolfe
Perhaps this is our strange and haunting paradox here in America -
that we are fixed and certain only when we are in movement.
Thomas Wolfe
It's also much clearer how much damage the occupation of Iraq is
doing to America's reputation and prestige around the world; and
that's just starting now to hit home in the United States.
Peter Singer
I have been in America only once since Mr. Clinton became your
president - as a speaker at the United Nations.
Mangosuthu Buthelezi
No man in America ever strove more, and more successfully first to
bring about a Congress in 1765, and then to support it ever
afterwards than myself.
Christopher Gadsden
What I want the Congress of the United States to do, and frankly
what I would like to see the President of the United States of
America do, is speak a word of support to the people of Iran.
Mike Pence
You know, Hoosiers recognize pork when we see it. And they recognize
what bailing out every failing business in America means - We're
burying generations under a mountain range of debt.
Mike Pence
Class is often invisible in America in the movies, and usually not
the subject of the film.
Roger Ebert
My Latin temper blows up pretty fast, but it goes down just as fast.
Maybe that's why you seldom hear of ulcers in Latin America.
