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

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.

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

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.

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.

My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Europe's the mayonnaise, but America supplies the good old lobster.

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.

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

The coast of British Columbia was one of the three chief centers of aboriginal America.

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

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.
