An American, a
Negro... two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two
warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps
it from being torn asunder.
W. E. B. Du Bois
The only security for the American people today, or for any people,
is to be found through the control of force rather than the use of
force.
Norman Cousins
If this humor be the safety of our race, then it is due largely to
the infusion into the American people of the Irish brain.
William Howard Taft
I really have the American dream licked.
Ted Nugent
President Bush is endangering our safety, hurting our vital
interests, and undermining American values.
George Soros
What has happened at Guantanamo Bay... does not represent the will
of the American people. I'm embarrassed about it, I think its wrong.
I think it does give terrorists an unwarranted excuse to use the
despicable means to hurt innocent people.
Jimmy Carter
Television is like the American toaster, you push the button and the
same thing pops up everytime.
Alfred Hitchcock
American youth attributes much more importance to arriving at
driver's license age than at voting age.
Marshall McLuhan
Look, three love affairs in history, are Abelard and Eloise, Romeo
and Juliet and the American media and this President at the moment.
But this doesn't matter over time. Reality will impinge. If his
programs work, he's fine. If it doesn't work, all of the adulation
of journalists in the world won't matter.
George Will
Americans are overreaching; overreaching is the most admirable and
most American of the many American excesses.
George Will
Pessimism is as American as apple pie - frozen apple pie with a
slice of processed cheese.
George Will
Whatever else an American believes or disbelieves about himself, he
is absolutely sure he has a sense of humor.
E. B. White
I pity the French Cinema because it has no money. I pity the
American Cinema because it has no ideas.
Jean-Luc Godard
Who's judging American Idol? Paula Abdul? Paula Abdul judging a
singing contest is like Christopher Reeve judging a dance contest!
Chris Rock
I heard stories from my mother's mother who was an American Indian.
She was spiritual, although she did not go to church, but she had
the hum. She used to tell me stories of the rivers.
Tina Turner
No matter what you think about the Iraq war, there is one thing we
can all agree on for the next days - we have to salute the courage
and bravery of those who are risking their lives to vote and those
brave Iraqi and American soldiers fighting to protect their right to
vote.
Hillary Clinton
The American people are tired of liars and people who pretend to be
something they're not.
Hillary Clinton
We have a close, unshakable bond between the United States and
Israel, and between the American and Israeli people. We share common
values and a commitment to a democratic future for the world, and we
are both committed to a two-state solution. But that doesn't mean
that we're going to agree.
Hillary Clinton
For centuries, New York has served as the gateway for millions of
people from all over the world in search of the American dream. It
only makes sense that it would now serve as a gateway for the
world's greatest athletes.
Hillary Clinton
The American taxpayer should not be treated more shabbily than
debtors from other nations and we should be encouraging other
nations to help rebuild Iraq's economy.
Hillary Clinton
Both the American people and nations that censor the internet should
understand that our government is committed to helping promote
internet freedom.
Hillary Clinton
An American tragedy in which we all have played a part.
Gerald R. Ford
I've wanted somehow to convey to you the sensations - the
atmospheric pressure, you might say - of what it is to be seriously
a long-term prisoner in an American prison.
Jack Henry Abbott
I've always been a big fan of Bill Paxton, and I met him at the
American Pie premiere.
Shane West
Every American poet feels that the whole responsibility for
contemporary poetry has fallen upon his shoulders, that he is a
literary aristocracy of one.
W. H. Auden
I think it's sort of a rite of passage for a British actor to try
and get the American accent and have a good crack at doing that.
Orlando Bloom
We must get the American public to look past the glitter, beyond the
showmanship, to the reality, the hard substance of things. And we'll
do it not so much with speeches that will bring people to their feet
as with speeches that bring people to their senses.
Mario Cuomo
Economics is a subject profoundly conducive to cliche, resonant with
boredom. On few topics is an American audience so practiced in
turning off its ears and minds. And none can say that the response
is ill advised.
John Kenneth Galbraith
Speed is scarcely the noblest virtue of graphic composition, but it
has its curious rewards. There is a sense of getting somewhere fast,
which satisfies a native American urge.
James Thurber
When the American spirit was in its youth, the language of America
was different: Liberty, sir, was the primary object.
Patrick Henry
What we're discussing privately and publicly, is a budget which is a
blueprint for the future which creates jobs, which educates our
children, which provides healthcare for all Americans, which takes
our deficit down, which gives a tax cut for 95% of the American
people.
Nancy Pelosi
Let's just do what is right for the American people. And those of us
who are involved in politics and government know that our
responsibility is to the American people, that we have a
responsibility to find our common ground, to seek it and to find it.
Nancy Pelosi
I have deep emotions about the American people. If I were to cry for
anything, I would cry for them and the policies that they're about
to face.
Nancy Pelosi
I don't like the American media - particularly Fox.
Neil Young
Black history is American history.
Morgan Freeman
I don't want a Black History Month. Black history is American
history.
Morgan Freeman
If our American way of life fails the child, it fails us all.
Pearl S. Buck
The American people should be made aware of the trend toward
monopolization of the great public information vehicles and the
concentration of more and more power over public opinion in fewer
and fewer hands.
Spiro T. Agnew
The American is
wholeheartedly for love and romance at any cost.
Leslie Caron
This is so American, man: either make something your God and cosmos
and then worship it, or else kill it.
David Foster Wallace
Israel's willingness to cooperate closely with the U.S. in
protecting American interests in the region altered her image in the
eyes of many officials in Washington.
Yitzhak Rabin
I am an American Jew and aware of the sensitivities involved in the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Steven Spielberg
Canada is the essence of not being. Not English, not American, it is
the mathematic of not being. And a subtle flavour - we're more like
celery as a flavour.
Mike Myers
It seems to be a law in American life that whatever enriches us
anywhere except in the wallet inevitably becomes uneconomic.
Russell Baker
We must stop talking about the American dream and start listening to
the dreams of Americans.
Max Beerbohm
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.
Georgia O'Keeffe
American and Israel share a special bond. Our relationship is unique
among all nations. Like America, Israel is a strong democracy, a
symbol of freedom, and an oasis of liberty, a home to the oppressed
and persecuted.
William J. Clinton
When we make college more affordable, we make the American dream
more achievable.
William J. Clinton
I have made more friends for American culture than the State
Department. Certainly I have made fewer enemies, but that isn't very
difficult.
Arthur Miller
Our American professors like their literature clear and cold and
pure and very dead.
Sinclair Lewis
Take your message of equality of achievement, take your message of
economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the
entrepreneurial will and spirit of the American people somewhere
else.
Allen West
I think that this liberal progressive agenda is not the thing that
the American people want and it's antithesis to who we are as a
constitutional republic.
Allen West
When dealing with illegal immigration, the answer is simple; enforce
Constitutional mandates, and you will protect Floridians and the
American people.
Allen West
Where is Hollywood located? Chiefly between the ears. In that part
of the American brain lately vacated by God.
Erica Jong
I am the American Dream. I am the epitome of what the American Dream
basically said. It said, you could come from anywhere and be
anything you want in this country. That's exactly what I've done.
Whoopi Goldberg
If every American donated five hours a week, it would equal the
labor of 20 million full-time volunteers.
Whoopi Goldberg
Yeah, I think that's sort of the American way. And it's also the
Polish way, it turns out.
Bill Murray
If we remind ourselves of the fact that every fifth American today
rightly points and perhaps also with a certain degree of pride to
his German ancestry or her German ancestry, we can safely say that
we, indeed, share common roots.
Angela Merkel
I wanna show that gospel, country, blues, rhythm and blues, jazz,
rock 'n' roll are all just really one thing. Those are the American
music and that is the American culture.
Etta James
When you talk about evangelicals, don't forget that a significant
proportion of the evangelical community is African American. And
most African Americans - well over 90 percent, thoroughly
evangelical, thoroughly biblical - will probably vote Democratic.
Tony Campolo
The American President resembles the commander of a ship at sea. He
must have a helm to grasp, a course to steer, a port to seek.
Henry B. Adams
American society is a sort of flat, fresh-water pond which absorbs
silently, without reaction, anything which is thrown into it.
Henry B. Adams
The American fascists are most easily recognized by their deliberate
perversion of truth and fact. Their newspapers and propaganda
carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity, every crack in the
common front against fascism.
Henry A. Wallace
Our chemical and other manufacturing concerns are all too often
ready to let the Germans have Latin American markets, provided the
American companies can work out an arrangement which will enable
them to charge high prices to the consumer inside the United States.
Henry A. Wallace
The obvious types of American fascists are dealt with on the air and
in the press. These demagogues and stooges are fronts for others.
Dangerous as these people may be, they are not so significant as
thousands of other people who have never been mentioned.
Henry A. Wallace
If we define an American fascist as one who in case of conflict puts
money and power ahead of human beings, then there are undoubtedly
several million fascists in the United States.
Henry A. Wallace
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
Most American fascists are enthusiastically supporting the war
effort. They are doing this even in those cases where they hope to
have profitable connections with German chemical firms after the war
ends.
Henry A. Wallace
The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is
to poison the channels of public information.
Henry A. Wallace
The dangerous American fascist is the man who wants to do in the
United States in an American way what Hitler did in Germany in a
Prussian way.
Henry A. Wallace
New York is only 97 miles from Philadelphia but was the Big Time as
no other American city has ever been.
Ethel Waters
Black women have always been these vixens, these animalistic erotic
women. Why can't we just be the sexy American girl next door?
Tyra Banks
Nothing could be more inappropriate to American literature than its
English source since the Americans are not British in sensibility.
Wallace Stevens
'American Dad' is, by its nature, much more political.
Seth MacFarlane
A truly American sentiment recognizes the dignity of labor and the
fact that honor lies in honest toil.
Grover Cleveland
I know there is a Supreme Being who rules the affairs of men and
whose goodness and mercy have always followed the American people,
and I know He will not turn from us now if we humbly and reverently
seek His powerful aid.
Grover Cleveland
My parents were French and Irish and our family even has Spanish
blood-and I do so love the United States and consider myself part
American.
Vivien Leigh
If the events of September 11, 2001, have proven anything, it's that
the terrorists can attack us, but they can't take away what makes us
American - our freedom, our liberty, our civil rights. No, only
Attorney General John Ashcroft can do that.
Jon Stewart
President Bush remained undeterred by the massive display of
American opposition, even though much of it came from the hundreds
of thousands of voters who supported him by voting for Nader.
Jon Stewart
The great and admirable strength of America consists in this, that
America is truly the American people.
Jacques Maritain
The Constitution gives every American the inalienable right to make
a damn fool of himself.
John Ciardi
When the target audience is American teenage kids, you can have
problems. My generation prized really fine acting and writing.
Sometimes you have to go back to the basic principles which underpin
great visual comedy.
John Cleese
I don't think anybody can take the word of Saddam Hussein and his
regime, and certainly an American president and allies who are
obligated to worry about the safety and security of our countries,
cannot take the word of this dictator, who lies, pathologically lies.
Condoleezza Rice
It is critical that the American people, and not just their
financial institutions, be represented at the negotiating table.
Elizabeth Warren
In addition to the decline in competition, American politics today
is characterized by a growing ideological polarization between the
two major political parties.
Thomas E. Mann
The real American type can never be a ballet dancer. The legs are
too long, the body too supple and the spirit too free for this
school of affected grace and toe walking.
Isadora Duncan
Look at the average American diet: ice cream, butter, cheese, whole
milk, all this fat. People don't realize how much of this stuff you
get by the end of the day. High blood pressure is from all this
high-fat eating.
Jack LaLanne
The Blind Boys are truly the deepest well of American musical
heritage you can discover.
Ben Harper
If a prospective Presidential approach can't be explained clearly
enough to be understood well, it probably hasn't been thought
through well enough. If not well understood by the American people,
it probably won't "sail" anyway. Send it back for further thought.
Donald Rumsfeld
Members of the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate are not there by
accident. Each managed to get there for some reason. Learn what it
was and you will know something important about them, about our
country and about the American people.
Donald Rumsfeld
Public servants are paid to serve the American people. Do it well.
Donald Rumsfeld
The more money an American accumulates, the less interesting he
becomes.
Gore Vidal
This is the city of dreamers and time and again it's the place where
the greatest dream of all, the American dream, has been tested and
has triumphed.
Michael Bloomberg
Half of the American people have never read a newspaper. Half never
voted for President. One hopes it is the same half.
Gore Vidal
No place epitomizes the American experience and the American spirit
more than New York City.
Michael Bloomberg
American workers are first rate.
Christopher Dodd
Any American who is prepared to run for president should
automatically, by definition, be disqualified from ever doing so.
Gore Vidal
On 16 September 1985, when the Commerce Department announced that
the United States had become a debtor nation, the American Empire
died.
Gore Vidal
Until the rise of American advertising, it never occurred to anyone
anywhere in the world that the teenager was a captive in a hostile
world of adults.
Gore Vidal
That loyal retainer of the Chase Manhattan Bank, the American
president.
Gore Vidal
Every American deserves to live in freedom, to have his or her
privacy respected and a chance to go as far as their ability and
effort will take them - regardless of race, gender, ethnicity or
economic circumstances.
Christopher Dodd
We're giving our freedoms away. The American experiment was about
freedom. Freedom to be stupid, freedom to fail, freedom to succeed.
Glenn Beck
I think every American has a role in saving this country. Whether
you're Democrat, Republican, independent, it doesn't matter. We all
know the country's in trouble. We may disagree on how to solve it,
but we all know the country's in trouble.
Glenn Beck
The face of nature and civilization in this our country is to a
certain point a very sufficient literary field. But it will yield
its secrets only to a really grasping imagination. To write well and
worthily of American things one need even more than elsewhere to be
a master.
Henry James
I hate American simplicity. I glory in the piling up of
complications of every sort. If I could pronounce the name James in
any different or more elaborate way I should be in favor of doing
it.
Henry James
One might enumerate the items of high civilization, as it exists in
other countries, which are absent from the texture of American life,
until it should become a wonder to know what was left.
Henry James
It's a complex fate, being an American, and one of the
responsibilities it entails is fighting against a superstitious
valuation of Europe.
Henry James
If I were to live my life over again, I would be an American. I
would steep myself in America, I would know no other land.
Henry James
Amin hid nothing. Everybody knew everything. Yet the American Senate
only introduced a resolution breaking off trade with Amin three
months before his overthrow.
Ryszard Kapuscinski
There is in every
American, I think, something of the old Daniel Boone - who, when he
could see the smoke from another chimney, felt himself too crowded
and moved further out into the wilderness.
Hubert H. Humphrey
American public opinion is like an ocean, it cannot be stirred by a
teaspoon.
Hubert H. Humphrey
Unfortunately, the American justice system is just riddled with lies
and inconsistencies.
Tommy Chong
There is no way that we know what is going on between the African
American and the Asian American. We don't understand what an
Indigenous American is. We don't understand what a Latino American
is.
Edward James Olmos
I think in Vice and American Me I played very silent, rigid
characters and people remember them.
Edward James Olmos
Landscape is to American painting what sex and psychoanalysis are to
the American novel.
Robert Hughes
I'd love to work more with the American Indians, my people.
Loretta Lynn
A lot of American actors I work with are in character all day long.
You can't talk to them. It's Method and the whole thing.
Norman Jewison
American audiences are just the same as any other audiences. Except
a bit more boring.
Sid Vicious
American democracy must be a failure because it places the supreme
authority in the hands of the poorest and most ignorant part of the
society.
Thomas Babington
New York - that unnatural city where every one is an exile, none
more so than the American.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Pray a little more, work a little harder, save, wait, be patient
and, most of all, live within our means. That's the American way.
It's not spending ourselves into prosperity or taxing ourselves into
prosperity.
Mike Huckabee
In World War II, the book you have in front of you, it was said and
it is probably true, that there was not a single American who did
not know the name of somebody serving in uniform.
Oliver North
I want to say with the utmost of sincerity, not as a Republican, but
as an American, that I have great respect for Senator Obama's
historic achievement to become his party's nominee, not because of
his color, but with indifference to it.
Mike Huckabee
I wish we would all remember that being American is not just about
the freedom we have; it is about those who gave it to us.
Mike Huckabee
I think Ralph Nader is the biggest liar in American politics when he
said it didn't matter who was president.
James Carville
'St. Elmo's Fire' is one of my favorite films. I like the
storytelling of those teenage American films. You don't get that now.
Teenage American movies are all about sick jokes, puking a lot, arse
jokes.
James McAvoy
I don't think American poetry has gotten any better in the past 35
years. Oddly enough, creative writing programs seem to have been
good for fiction, and I would not have predicted that.
Robert Morgan
Among the American contemporaries I read with most enjoyment are
several North Carolinians. I think the best poetry being written
these days is being written by Southerners.
Robert Morgan
I have seen that the American Dream is a reality - and I would love
to feel the British Dream is also a reality. To enable that, we have
to bring back some common sense and encourage family values, a
proper sense of justice and make people believe they have a decent
chance to build a business or career for themselves. I see this
moment as a fantastic opportunity to restore this, because I believe
Britain Has Talent.
Simon Cowell
Some people swear by writing courses, but whether it really helps
American poetry, I have doubts.
Robert Morgan
I don't think the creative writing industry has helped American
poetry.
Robert Morgan
I've been as bad an influence on American literature as anyone I can
think of.
Dashiell Hammett
If we had to choose one American Idol to go out to dinner with, it
would be Fantasia. There are no airs and graces about her... I like
her.
Simon Cowell
I felt that a number of people might have questioned my loyalty, but
I continue to be a patriotic American.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Yes, but another writer I read in high school who just knocked me
out was Theodore Dreiser. I read An American Tragedy all in one
weekend and couldn't put it down - I locked myself in my room. Now
that was antithetical to every other book I was reading at the time
because Dreiser really had no style, but it was powerful.
Joan Didion
The American attitude towards efficiency and execution should always
underlie architecture.
Helmut Jahn
Chinese buildings are like American buildings, with big footprints.
People don't care about daylight or fresh air.
Helmut Jahn
I usually say Latina, Mexican-American or American Mexican, and in
certain contexts, Chicana, depending on whether my audience
understands the term or not.
Sandra Cisneros
We were from totally different social backgrounds. This is what is
very hard for an American to understand, but we could have been five
guys from Mars.
Bill Bruford
The American people... want change. They want big ideas, big reform.
Rahm Emanuel
American Splendor is just an ongoing journal. It's an ongoing
autobiography. I started it when I was in my early 30s, and I just
keep going.
Harvey Pekar
I came up with American Splendor. Some people think it's American
Squalor.
Harvey Pekar
If the American
people don't love me, their descendants will.
Lyndon B. Johnson
They call upon us to supply American boys to do the job that Asian
boys should do.
Lyndon B. Johnson
See, that's why Barack's running: to end the war in Iraq responsibly
- to build an economy that lifts every family, to make sure health
care is available for every American - and to make sure that every
child in this nation has a world-class education all the way from
preschool to college.
Michelle Obama
I was born an American; I will live an American; I shall die an
American.
Daniel Webster
I think that in a year I may retire. I cannot take my money with me
when I die and I wish to enjoy it, with my family, while I live. I
should prefer living in Germany to any other country, though I am an
American, and am loyal to my country.
Harry Houdini
Confronted with the choice, the American people would choose the
policeman's truncheon over the anarchist's bomb.
Spiro T. Agnew
Dr. Martin Luther King is not a black hero. He is an American hero.
Morgan Freeman
Marijuana is a much bigger part of the American addiction problem
than most people - teens or adults - realize.
John Walters
While the form of treachery varies slightly from case to case,
liberals always manage to take the position that most undermines
American security.
Ann Coulter
Cable penetrates 70 percent of American audiences now.
Tom Brokaw
I want people to think of me as a nice person. I really am so
blessed. All of this has been a great experience and I thank the
American public so much for putting me in this position. I
appreciate every second of it.
Carrie Underwood
There's a lot of things that are said on the American Idol message
board. I quit reading them because most of the people are very mean.
Carrie Underwood
American Idol transcends age, gender, ethnicity, everything.
Carrie Underwood
Most of American life consists of driving somewhere and then
returning home, wondering why the hell you went.
John Updike
What we do is as American as lynch mobs. America has always been a
complex place.
Jerry Garcia
Entire generations of Americans have come of age since the ancient
time when the president's power was constrained by a duty of candor
to the American people.
James Bovard
The Federal Government is exploiting public fear to redefine the
relationship between the rulers and the American people.
James Bovard
Yes, I did feel a special responsibility to be the first American
woman in space.
Sally Ride
The progress of the American Revolution has been so rapid and such
the alteration of manners, the blending of characters, and the new
train of ideas that almost universally prevail, that the principles
which animated to the noblest exertions have been nearly annihilated.
Mercy Otis Warren
By 'flat' I did not mean that the world is getting equal. I said
that more people in more places can now compete, connect and
collaborate with equal power and equal tools than ever before.
That's why an Indian in Bangalore can take care of the office work
of American doctors or read the X-rays of German hospitals.
Thomas Friedman
You win the presidency by connecting with the American people's gut
insecurities and aspirations. You win with a concept.
Thomas Friedman
On the contrary, I tried on numerous occasions to convince the
American president not to go to war. I did what was within my
capabilities to avoid that happening.
Silvio Berlusconi
Our American friends offer us money, arms, and advice. We take the
money, we take the arms, and we decline the advice.
Moshe Dayan
I forget what the relevant American rate is, but I can tell you that
our goal is to have a combined federal-provincial corporate tax rate
of no more than 25 percent. We're on target to do that by 2012. We
will have significantly - by a significant margin the lowest
corporate tax rates in the G-7, and that's our - our government's
objective.
Stephen Harper
We lost the American colonies because we lacked the statesmanship to
know the right time and the manner of yielding what is impossible to
keep.
Elizabeth II
We thought I was going to be a great athlete, and we were wrong, and
I thought I was going to be a great entertainer, and that wasn't it
either. I'm going to be an American Citizen. First class.
Dick Gregory
American literature had always considered writing a very serious
matter.
Guillermo Cabrera Infante
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.
Henry Ward Beecher
I don't think we should do anything that should make the people hate
the American people more.
Ziggy Marley
I'm not an American, Do they count the votes in America? I haven't
voted in Jamaica either.
Ziggy Marley
When they talk about family values, it's in a repressive way, as if
our American tradition were only the Puritan tradition or the 19th
century oppressive tradition. The Christian tradition.
James Hillman
I don't think anything changes until ideas change. The usual
American viewpoint is to believe that something is wrong with the
person.
James Hillman
American men, as a group, seem to be interested in only two things,
money and breasts. It seems a very narrow outlook.
Hedy Lamarr
Because there is very little honor left in American life, there is a
certain built-in tendency to destroy masculinity in American men.
Norman Mailer
Somebody said that I am the last American living the tragedy of
Europe.
Ezra Pound
The American grips himself, at the very sources of his consciousness,
in a grip of care: and then, to so much of the rest of life, is
indifferent. Whereas, the European hasn't got so much care in him,
so he cares much more for life and living.
David Herbert Lawrence
Let each person do his or her part. If one citizen is unwilling to
participate, all of us are going to suffer. For the American idea,
though it is shared by all of us, is realized in each one of us.
Barbara Jordan
There is no executive order; there is no law that can require the
American people to form a national community. This we must do as
individuals and if we do it as individuals, there is no President of
the United States who can veto that decision.
Barbara Jordan
Let's all understand that these guiding principles cannot be
discarded for short-term political gains. They represent what this
country is all about. They are indigenous to the American idea. And
these are principles which are not negotiable.
Barbara Jordan
We're going to have the best-educated American people in the world.
Dan Quayle
Ever since the 1860s when photographers travelled the American West
and brought photographs of scenic wonders back to the people on the
East Coast of America we have had a North American tradition of
landscape photography used for the environment.
Galen Rowell
American is the first democratic nation-state.
Stephen Ambrose
The American people would not want to know of any misquotes that Dan
Quayle may or may not make.
Dan Quayle
Great American sport. Horseshoes is a very great game. I love it.
Dan Quayle
The average American's day planner has fewer holes in it than Ray
Charles's dart board.
Dennis Miller
We, therefore, here in Britain stand shoulder to shoulder with our
American friends in this hour of tragedy, and we, like them, will
not rest until this evil is driven from our world.
Tony Blair
Well, I'm telling them two things. One is that, look, this is going
to be something when the American people realize - once it's passed
- that, A, it does take care of preexisting conditions; B, you're
insurance rates aren't going to skyrocket; C, the insurance
companies aren't going to be running the show like they were before;
D, you're going to be in a position where you can keep your
insurance that you have. That once the American public realizes that,
you're going to get a reward for this. They're going to be rewarded.
Joe Biden
Here at home, when Americans were standing in long lines to give
blood after the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon,
we squandered an obvious opportunity to make service a noble cause
again, and rekindle an American spirit of community.
Joe Biden
Look, freedom is an overwhelming American notion. The idea that we
want to see the world, the peoples of the world free is something
that all of us subscribe to.
Joe Biden
The devastating punch we took on September 11th still reverberates
throughout American society.
Joe Biden
Eisenhower is my choice as the American of the 20th Century. Of all
the men I've studied and written about, he is the brightest and the
best.
Stephen Ambrose
The American Constitution is the greatest governing document, and at
some 7,000 words, just about the shortest.
Stephen Ambrose
To be a slaveholder meant one had to regard the African American as
inferior in every way.
Stephen Ambrose
American corporations hate to give away money.
Stephen Ambrose
So I'm not really quite sure what Landis' plans were to make another
one. The American Werewolf in Paris was a completely separate story.
Jenny Agutter
Most of the time I spent in America, I was having a love affair with
some American or other. I was just passing through but stayed
because of these chaps.
Julie Christie
Anglo-Saxon civilization has taught the individual to protect his
own rights; American civilization will teach him to respect the
rights of others.
William Jennings Bryan
The great American novel has not only already been written, it has
already been rejected.
W. Somerset Maugham
We need American sources of resources, we need American energy,
brought to you by American ingenuity and produced by American
workers.
Sarah Palin
My fellow citizens, the American Presidency is not supposed to be a
journey of personal discovery.
Sarah Palin
Rather than be asked to abandon one's own heritage and to adapt to
the mores of the new country, one was expected to possess a treasure
of foreign skills and customs that would enrich the resources of
American living.
Rudolf Arnheim
At one of the annual conventions of the American Society for
Aesthetics much confusion arose when the Society for Anesthetics met
at the same time in the same hotel.
Rudolf Arnheim
My take on rap is driven by straightforward American southern rock
and blues.
Kid Rock
As always, the British especially shudder at the latest American
vulgarity, and then they embrace it with enthusiasm two years later.
Alistair Cooke
Nixon was the most dishonest individual I have ever met in my life.
He lied to his wife, his family, his friends, his colleagues in the
Congress, lifetime members of his own political party, the American
people and the world.
Barry Goldwater
American business has just forgotten the importance of selling.
Barry Goldwater
I do not think white America is committed to granting equality to
the American Negro. This is a passionately racist country; it will
continue to be so in the foreseeable future.
Susan Sontag
Very difficult to understand American audience, what they like, what
they don't like. Some movie I like very much, it doesn't work. Some
movie I don't like, it gets big box office. Very difficult.
Jackie Chan
Hopefully it will be possible to get all our other albums in
American shops one day so if people are interested they can hear it
but I'm hoping that people are going to be interested in what we are
going to do, not just what we've done.
Ville Valo
We got on American Bandstand, where kids would dance to a record and
then rate it. We called ourselves Tom and Jerry. I was Jerry.
Paul Simon
In dealing with the China problem, the British and American side,
which had particularly strong interests in China, should have based
its judgments about the origins of the problem on direct observation
of the actual circumstances at the time.
Hideki Tojo
The American people, Neil, are sick and tired of excuses. They are
sick and tired of the blame game. And they're sick and tired of the
deception coming from this president and this administration. This
is why I believe that I am doing so well in the polls.
Herman Cain
I am an American. Black. Conservative. I don't use African-American,
because I'm American, I'm black and I'm conservative. I don't like
people trying to label me. African- American is socially acceptable
for some people, but I am not some people.
Herman Cain
When reflecting upon it today, that the Pearl Harbor attack should
have succeeded in achieving surprise seems a blessing from Heaven.
It was clear that a great American fleet had been concentrated in
Pearl Harbor, and we supposed that the state of alert would be very
high.
Hideki Tojo
The main American naval forces were shifted to the Pacific region
and an American admiral made a strong declaration to the effect that
if war were to break out between Japan and the United States, the
Japanese navy could be sunk in a matter of weeks.
Hideki Tojo
During this period, Japan's peaceful commercial relations were
successively obstructed, primarily by the American rupture of
commercial relations, and this was a grave threat to the survival of
Japan.
Hideki Tojo
The United Nations charter gives every nation the right to self
defence, therefore when the American embassies were bombed it was a
matter of time before the Americans responded by going for what they
suspected were the causes of the attack.
Benazir Bhutto
I stand fearlessly for small dogs, the American Flag, motherhood and
the Bible. That's why people love me.
Art Linkletter
I'd like to state that Spike Lee is not saying that African American
culture is just for black people alone to enjoy and cherish. Culture
is for everybody.
Spike Lee
According to the Gallup Poll, 24 percent of American adults
exercised regularly in 1961, and 50 percent after 1968. The peak was
59 percent in 1984, dropping off to 51 percent last September.
Kenneth H. Cooper
The American public is not aware that there might be potential
allergenic and toxic reactions. With regular food, at least people
know which foods they have an allergy to.
Jeremy Rifkin
People identify with me - everyone does - African American women,
Caucasian women, they all identify with me because I'm ethnic.
Janice Dickinson
There's something about an American soldier you can't explain.
They're so grateful for anything, even a film actress coming to see
them.
Marlene Dietrich
Workers have kept faith in American institutions. Most of the
conflicts, which have occurred have been when labor's right to live
has been challenged and denied.
John L. Lewis
There is no
distinctly American criminal class - except Congress.
Mark Twain
If there is one principle more deeply rooted in the mind of every
American, it is that we should have nothing to do with conquest.
Thomas Jefferson
We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant
facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values.
For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and
falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its
people.
John F. Kennedy
I hope that no American will waste his franchise and throw away his
vote by voting either for me or against me solely on account of my
religious affiliation. It is not relevant.
John F. Kennedy
We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is
guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the
American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.
Ronald Reagan
The fact that the adult American Negro female emerges a formidable
character is often met with amazement, distaste and even
belligerance. It is seldom accepted as an inevitable outcome of the
struggle won by survivors, and deserves respect if not enthusiastic
acceptance.
Maya Angelou
All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain
called Huckleberry Finn.
Ernest Hemingway
The rich are always going to say that, you know, just give us more
money and we'll go out and spend more and then it will all trickle
down to the rest of you. But that has not worked the last 10 years,
and I hope the American public is catching on.
Warren Buffett
I think the most important factor in getting out of the recession
actually is just the regenerative capacity of - of American
capitalism.
Warren Buffett
How does it become a man to behave towards the American government
today? I answer, that he cannot without disgrace be associated with
it.
Henry David Thoreau
I am just absolutely convinced that the best formula for giving us
peace and preserving the American way of life is freedom, limited
government, and minding our own business overseas.
Ron Paul
Another term for preventive war is aggressive war - starting wars
because someday somebody might do something to us. That is not part
of the American tradition.
Ron Paul
You don't have freedom because you are a hyphenated American; you
have freedom because you are an individual, and that should be
protected.
Ron Paul
We can have no '50-50' allegiance in this country. Either a man is
an American and nothing else, or he is not an American at all.
Theodore Roosevelt
To announce that there must be no criticism of the president... is
morally treasonable to the American public.
Theodore Roosevelt
A typical vice of American politics is the avoidance of saying
anything real on real issues.
Theodore Roosevelt
The American people abhor a vacuum.
Theodore Roosevelt
The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers
that it can bribe the public with the public's money.
Alexis de Tocqueville
I don't care whether you're driving a hybrid or an SUV. If you're
headed for a cliff, you have to change direction. That's what the
American people called for in November, and that's what we intend to
deliver.
Barack Obama
I think what you're seeing is a profound recognition on the part of
the American people that gays and lesbians and transgender persons
are our brothers, our sisters, our children, our cousins, our
friends, our co-workers, and that they've got to be treated like
every other American. And I think that principle will win out.
Barack Obama
And I will do everything that I can as long as I am President of the
United States to remind the American people that we are one nation
under God, and we may call that God different names but we remain
one nation.
Barack Obama
I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the
Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in
Greek exceptionalism.
Barack Obama
Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote
except the American people themselves and the only way they could do
this is by not voting.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American
people.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Here is my principle: Taxes shall be levied according to ability to
pay. That is the only American principle.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
If we can boondoggle ourselves out of this depression, that word is
going to be enshrined in the hearts of the American people for years
to come.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Now, we put out a lot of carbon dioxide every year, over 26 billion
tons. For each American, it's about 20 tons. For people in poor
countries, it's less than one ton. It's an average of about five
tons for everyone on the planet. And, somehow, we have to make
changes that will bring that down to zero.
Bill Gates
All of the books in the world contain no more information than is
broadcast as video in a single large American city in a single year.
Not all bits have equal value.
Carl Sagan
I am for violence if non-violence means we continue postponing a
solution to the American black man's problem just to avoid violence.
Malcolm X
An American monkey,
after getting drunk on brandy, would never touch it again, and thus
is much wiser than most men.
Charles Darwin
I'm a black American, I am proud of my race. I am proud of who I am.
I have a lot of pride and dignity.
Michael Jackson
There are no second acts in American lives.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
I am proud to be an American. Because an American can eat anything
on the face of this earth as long as he has two pieces of bread.
Bill Cosby
If the new American father feels bewildered and even defeated, let
him take comfort from the fact that whatever he does in any
fathering situation has a fifty percent chance of being right.
Bill Cosby
And what does reward virtue? You think the communist commissar
rewards virtue? You think a Hitler rewards virtue? You think, excuse
me, if you'll pardon me, American presidents reward virtue? Do they
choose their appointees on the basis of the virtue of the people
appointed or on the basis of their political clout?
Milton Friedman
The faces of most American women over thirty are relief maps of
petulant and bewildered unhappiness.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
It isn't the oceans which cut us off from the world - it's the
American way of looking at things.
Henry Miller
We have two American flags always: one for the rich and one for the
poor. When the rich fly it means that things are under control; when
the poor fly it means danger, revolution, anarchy.
Henry Miller
It is the American vice, the democratic disease which expresses its
tyranny by reducing everything unique to the level of the herd.
Henry Miller
That we are to stand by the President right or wrong is not only
unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American
public.
Charlie Sheen
Sure, I did a lot of things in excess. But if you look at the core,
the foundation of what I pursued, what red-blooded young American
male in my position wouldn't?
Charlie Sheen
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
When even one American - who has done nothing wrong - is forced by
fear to shut his mind and close his mouth - then all Americans are
in peril.
Harry S. Truman
You know that being an American is more than a matter of where your
parents came from. It is a belief that all men are created free and
equal and that everyone deserves an even break.
Harry S. Truman
Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American
public.
H. L. Mencken
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
We're at the crossroads. Down one road is a European centralized
bureaucratic socialist welfare system in which politicians and
bureaucrats define the future. Down the other road is a proud, solid,
reaffirmation of American exceptionalism.
Newt Gingrich
President Obama is the most successful food stamp president in
American history. I would like to be the most successful paycheck
president in American history.
Newt Gingrich
In every election in American history both parties have their
cliches. The party that has the cliches that ring true wins.
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
As long as I live, I will never forget that day 21 years ago when I
raised my hand and took the oath of citizenship. Do you know how
proud I was? I was so proud that I walked around with an American
flag around my shoulders all day long.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
The success I have achieved in bodybuilding, motion pictures, and
business would not have been possible without the generosity of the
American people and the freedom here to pursue your dreams.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Unquestionably, there is progress. The average American now pays out
twice as much in taxes as he formerly got in wages.
H. L. Mencken
There's not an American in this country free until every one of us
is free.
Jackie Robinson
The right of every American to first-class citizenship is the most
important issue of our time.
Jackie Robinson
I can think of nothing more boring for the American people than to
have to sit in their living rooms for a whole half hour looking at
my face on their television screens.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
I deplore the need or the use of troops anywhere to get American
citizens to obey the orders of constituted courts.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
You can't just have slogans, you can't just have catchy phrases. You
have to have an agenda. And I think what the Republican Party has to
do, if it's going to incorporate the tea party efforts in it, is to
come up with an agenda that the American people can see, touch, and
actually believe in, and something they believe in.
Colin Powell
My rackets are run on strictly American lines and they're going to
stay that way.
Al Capone
I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game.
Walt Whitman
Consul - in American politics, a person who having failed to secure
an office from the people is given one by the Administration on
condition that he leave the country.
Ambrose Bierce
Wit - the salt with which the American humorist spoils his
intellectual cookery by leaving it out.
Ambrose Bierce
Alien - an American sovereign in his probationary state.
Ambrose Bierce
I would rather have a nod from an American, than a snuff-box from an
emperor.
Lord Byron
And the American people are the greatest people in the world. What
makes America the greatest nation in the world is the heart of the
American people: hardworking, innovative, risk-taking, God- loving,
family-oriented American people.
Mitt Romney
The American people I talk to don't spend every moment thinking, 'How
can I tax my neighbor more than they're being taxed?' They say, 'How
can I get a good job? How can my kids get good jobs? How can seniors
have a confidence in their future when they know that Social
Security, Medicare and Medicaid are bankrupt?'
Mitt Romney
And this President wakes up every morning, looks out across America
and is proud to announce, 'It could be worse.' It could be worse? Is
that what it means to be an American? It could be worse? Of course
not. What defines us as Americans is our unwavering conviction that
we know it must be better.
Mitt Romney
We believe in individual initiative, personal responsibility,
opportunity, freedom, small government, the Constitution. These
principles, these American principles are key to getting our economy
back to being successful and leading the world.
Mitt Romney
This President takes his inspiration from the capitals of Europe; we
look to the cities and small towns of America. This President puts
his faith in government. We put our faith in the American people.
Mitt Romney
President Barack Obama has stood watch over the greatest job loss in
modern American history. And that, my friends, is one inconvenient
truth that will haunt this President throughout history.
Mitt Romney
President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and their team have
failed the American people, and that is why their majority will soon
be out the door.
Mitt Romney
Make no mistake, in this campaign, I will offer the American ideals
of economic freedom a clear and unapologetic defense.
Mitt Romney
I let the American people down.
Richard M. Nixon
No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam
War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now.
Richard M. Nixon
As this long and difficult war ends, I would like to address a few
special words to the American people: Your steadfastness in
supporting our insistence on peace with honor has made peace with
honor possible.
Richard M. Nixon
The American people are entitled to see the president and to hear
his views directly, and not to see him only through the press.
Richard M. Nixon
If we take the route of the permanent handout, the American
character will itself be impoverished.
Richard M. Nixon
Sometimes people call me an idealist. Well, that is the way I know I
am an American. America is the only idealistic nation in the world.
Woodrow Wilson
Property as compared with humanity, as compared with the red blood
in the American people, must take second place, not first place.
Woodrow Wilson
The American Revolution was a beginning, not a consummation.
Woodrow Wilson
If you really want to help the American theater, don't be an
actress, dahling. Be an audience.
Tallulah Bankhead
When I read about the way in which library funds are being cut and
cut, I can only think that American society has found one more way
to destroy itself.
Isaac Asimov
After all, the chief business of the American people is business.
They are profoundly concerned with producing, buying, selling,
investing and prospering in the world.
Calvin Coolidge
To live under the American Constitution is the greatest political
privilege that was ever accorded to the human race.
Calvin Coolidge
American history is longer, larger, more various, more beautiful,
and more terrible than anything anyone has ever said about it.
James A. Baldwin
I regard the Klan, the Anglo-Saxon clubs and White American
societies, as far as the Negro is concerned, as better friends of
the race than all other groups of hypocritical whites put together.
Marcus Garvey
Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest
buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These
acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American
resolve.
George W. Bush
I sent American troops to Iraq to make its people free, not to make
them American. Iraqis will write their own history and find their
own way.
George W. Bush
Hundreds of thousands of American servicemen and women are deployed
across the world in the war on terror. By bringing hope to the
oppressed, and delivering justice to the violent, they are making
America more secure.
George W. Bush
I believe the most solemn duty of the American president is to
protect the American people. If America shows uncertainty and
weakness in this decade, the world will drift toward tragedy. This
will not happen on my watch.
George W. Bush
I told you I'm not going to criticize my successor. I'll just tell
you that there are people at Gitmo that will kill American people at
a drop of a hat and I don't believe that persuasion isn't going to
work. Therapy isn't going to cause terrorists to change their mind.
George W. Bush
The wisest use of American strength is to advance freedom.
George W. Bush
The average Hollywood film star's ambition is to be admired by an
American, courted by an Italian, married to an Englishman and have a
French boyfriend.
Katharine Hepburn
I suppose, in a way, this has become part of my soul. It is a symbol
of my life. Whatever I have done that really matters, I've done
wearing it. When the time comes, it will be in this that I journey
forth. What greater honor could come to an American, and a soldier?
Douglas MacArthur
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.
Douglas MacArthur
Maybe every other American movie shouldn't be based on a comic book.
Other countries will think Americans live in an infantile fantasy
land where reality is whatever we say it is and every problem can be
solved with violence.
Bill Maher
In 1765, Parliament passed the Stamp Act, which, as any American
high school student can tell you, was an act that apparently had
something to do with stamps.
Dave Barry
American consumers have no problem with carcinogens, but they will
not purchase any product, including floor wax, that has fat in it.
Dave Barry
The compulsion to do good is an innate American trait. Only North
Americans seem to believe that they always should, may, and actually
can choose somebody with whom to share their blessings. Ultimately
this attitude leads to bombing people into the acceptance of gifts.
Ivan Illich
No greater nor more affectionate honor can be conferred on an
American than to have a public school named after him.
Herbert Hoover
The average American worker has fifty interruptions a day, of which
seventy percent have nothing to do with work.
W. Edwards Deming
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.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Some Native American writers enjoy being called Native American
writers.
Toni Morrison
In this country American means white. Everybody else has to
hyphenate.
Toni Morrison
In becoming an American, from Europe, what one has in common with
that other immigrant is contempt for me-it's nothing else but color.
Toni Morrison
Tariffs that save jobs in the steel industry mean higher steel
prices, which in turn means fewer sales of American steel products
around the world and losses of far more jobs than are saved.
Thomas Sowell
An American cannot converse, but he can discuss, and his talk falls
into a dissertation. He speaks to you as if he was addressing a
meeting; and if he should chance to become warm in the discussion,
he will say "Gentlemen" to the person with whom he is conversing.
Alexis de Tocqueville
The surface of American society is covered with a layer of
democratic paint, but from time to time one can see the old
aristocratic colours breaking through.
Alexis de Tocqueville
The whole life of an American is passed like a game of chance, a
revolutionary crisis, or a battle.
Alexis de Tocqueville
The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected
in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the
principles of Christianity.
John Quincy Adams
The American foreign policy trauma of the sixties and seventies was
caused by applying valid principles to unsuitable conditions.
Henry A. Kissinger
The American temptation is to believe that foreign policy is a
subdivision of psychiatry.
Henry A. Kissinger
I think that New York is not the cultural centre of America, but the
business and administrative centre of American culture.
Saul Bellow
I got space from Travis Air Force Base, went back to the Philippine
Islands and made it a point to meet the only American casting
director in the Philippines. I was off and running.
R. Lee Ermey
When a nominee for the Supreme Court, one of only nine lifetime
appointments, makes an overtly brazen racist comment about tens of
millions of American citizens, we don't need lectures. What we need
to do is to confront her with what she said and what it says about
her.
Rush Limbaugh
One ever feels his twoness - an American, a Negro; two souls, two
thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark
body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder.
W. E. B. Du Bois
One can't doubt that the American objective in Iraq has failed -
different plans have to be made. And the kernel here is the
acknowledgement of defeat.
William F. Buckley, Jr.
I'm tired. I'm tired of feeling rejected by the American people. I'm
tired of waking up in the middle of the night worrying about the
war.
Lyndon B. Johnson
We are not about to send American boys 9 or 10 thousand miles away
from home to do what Asian boys ought to be doing for themselves.
Lyndon B. Johnson
It is the genius of our Constitution that under its shelter of
enduring institutions and rooted principles there is ample room for
the rich fertility of American political invention.
Lyndon B. Johnson
I am a freeman, an American, a United States Senator, and a
Democrat, in that order.
Lyndon B. Johnson
American stuntmen are smart - they think about safety. When they do
a jump in a car, they calculate everything: the speed, the
distance... But in Hong Kong, we don't know how to count. Everything
we do is a guess. If you've got the guts, you do it. All of my
stuntmen have gotten hurt.
Jackie Chan
There were people who said the Society of Cincinnati in the American
revolution, of which George Washington was one of the shining
lights, was a branch of the Illuminati.
Carroll Quigley
I hope that as the Senate and the American people learn more about
me they will see that I am an ordinary person who has been blessed
with extraordinary opportunities and experiences.
Sonia Sotomayor
