america quotes by AUTHOR UNKNOWN-1453619206
I pledge allegiance to the earth and to the flora, fauna and human life that it supports, one planet indivisible, with safe air, water & soil, economic justice, equal rights and peace for all.
america quotes by HAWKEYE-1453617515
I just don't know why they're shooting at us. All we want to do is bring them democracy and white bread. Transplant the American dream. Freedom. Achievement. Hyperacidity. Affluence. Flatulence. Technology. Tension. The inalienable right to an early coronary sitting at your desk while plotting to stab your boss in the back.
america quotes by GORE VIDAL-1453615051
Any American who is prepared to run for president should automatically, by definition, be disqualified from ever doing so.
america quotes by HUNTER S. THOMPSON-1453579741
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.
america quotes by FRANCIS JOHN MCCONNELL-1453578097
We need a type of patriotism that recognizes the virtues of those who are opposed to us. We must get away from the idea that America is to be the leader of the world in everything. She can lead in some things. The old "manifest destiny" idea ought to be modified so that each nation has the manifest destiny to do the best it can - and that without cant, without the assumption of self-righteousness and with a desire to learn to the uttermost from other nations.
america quotes by H.L. MENCKEN-1453575175
No one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.
america quotes by WILL ROGERS-1453573688
I bet after seeing us, George Washington would sue us for calling him "father."
america quotes by THOMAS WOLFE-1453572407
Perhaps this is our strange and haunting paradox here in America - that we are fixed and certain only when we are in movement.
america quotes by LAURENCE J. PETER-1453570876
America is a country that doesn't know where it is going but is determined to set a speed record getting there.
america quotes by SAUL BELLOW-1453569255
Here we write well when we expose frauds and hypocrites. We are great at counting warts and blemishes and weighting feet of clay. In expressing love, we belong among the underdeveloped countries.
america quotes by ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE-1453567603
Americans are so enamored of equality, they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom.
america quotes by G.K. CHESTERTON-1453566292
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.
america quotes by FROM THE MOVIETOMMY BOY-1453565093
What the American public doesn't know is what makes them the American public.
america quotes by JIMMY CARTER-1453563599
America did not invent human rights. In a very real sense... human rights invented America.
america quotes by CARL N. DEGLER-1453562008
The metaphor of the melting pot is unfortunate and misleading. A more accurate analogy would be a salad bowl, for, though the salad is an entity, the lettuce can still be distinguished from the chicory, the tomatoes from the cabbage.
america quotes by JOHN BURTON BRIMER-1453560697
America is a place where Jewish merchants sell Zen love beads to agnostics for Christmas.
america quotes by CHARLES LUCKMAN-1453559336
The trouble with America is that there are far too many wide-open spaces surrounded by teeth.
america quotes by GLORIA STEINEM-1453558060
America is an enormous frosted cupcake in the middle of millions of starving people.
