Quote DB :: America Search in this category Presidency (34) Sponsored Links Quote Author Rating Rate "America is no stronger than its people - and that means you and me. Well, I believe in you, and I believe that if we work together then one day we will say, ``We fought the good fight. We finished the race We kept the faith.'' And to our children and our children's children we can say, ``We did all that could be done in the brief time that was given to us here on earth." Ronald Reagan "America did not invent human rights. In a very real sense...human rights invented America." Jimmy Carter "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 "America is the only country ever founded on a creed." GK Chesterton "Some Americans need hyphens in their names, because only part of them has come over; but when the whole man has come over, heart and thought and all, the hyphen drops of its own weight out of his name." Woodrow Wilson "America is a vast conspiracy to make you happy." John Updike "Americans are so enamored of equality, they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom." Alexis de Tocqueville "America will never seek a permission slip to defend the security of our people." George W. Bush "It was by the sober sense of our citizens that we were safely and steadily conducted from monarchy to republicanism, and it is by the same agency alone we can be kept from falling back." Thomas Jefferson "When an American says that he loves his country, he means not only that he loves the New England hills, the prairies glistening in the sun, the wide and rising plains, the great mountains, and the sea. He means that he loves an inner air, an inner light in which freedom lives and in which a man can draw the breath of self-respect." Adlai Stevenson "Born often under another sky, placed in the middle of an always moving scene, himself driven by the irresistible torrent which draws all about him, the American has no time to tie himself to anything, he grows accustomed only to change, and ends by regarding it as the natural state of man. He feels the need of it, more he loves it; for the instability; instead of meaning disaster to him, seems to give birth only to miracles all about him." Alexis de Tocqueville "We cannot be both the world’s leading champion of peace and the world’s leading supplier of arms." Jimmy Carter "America is the most grandiose experiment the world has seen, but, I am afraid, it is not going to be a success." Sigmund Freud "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." GK Chesterton "I don't intellectually understand you people. I don't understand your hate, I don't understand your rage, I don't understand what it is about the goodness of this country you can't abide." Rush Limbaugh "The thing we all have to understand to put these last two years in focus, is that liberals in this country care more about whether European leaders like us than they do about whether terrorists are killing us." Rush Limbaugh "Our destiny is bound up with the destiny of every other American." Bill Clinton "This country was built on rape, slavery, murder, degradation and affiliation with crime." Mike Tyson "Our flag is red, white and blue, but our nation is a rainbow -- red, yellow, brown, black and white -- and we're all precious in God's sight." Jesse Jackson "America is much more than a geographical fact. It is a political and moral fact - the first community in which men set out in principle to institutionalize freedom, responsible government, and human equality."
