Text Quotes
Parties do not maintain themselves. They are maintained by effort. The government is not self-existent. It is maintained by the effort of those who believe in it. The people of America believe in American institutions, the American form of government and the American method of transacting business  (American Quotes) To live under the American Constitution is the greatest political privilege that was ever accorded to the human race  (American Quotes) 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  (American Quotes) Long toil and short leisure are part of the heavy price we pay for our North American standard of living. It is reputed to be the highest in the world, and so it should be, for it is bought at an inordinate price  (American Quotes) It is in this matter that I fall foul of so many American writers on writing; they seem to think that writing is a confidence game by means of which the author cajoles a restless, dull-witted, shallow audience into hearing his point of view. Such an attitude is base, and can only beget base prose  (American Quotes) If we can elect an African American as president, we can support gay marriage! Defeat prop 8! We will not give up!  (American Quotes) 'Yes' is a far more potent word than 'no' in American politics. By adopting the positions which animate the political agenda for the other side, one can disarm them and leave them sputtering with nothing to say  (American Quotes) 'Smart power' is the use of American power in ways that would help prevent and resolve conflict - not just send our military in  (American Quotes) 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  (American Quotes) 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  (American Quotes) When an American heiress wants to buy a man, she at once crosses the Atlantic. The only really materialistic people I have ever met have been Europeans  (American Quotes) The immense popularity of American movies abroad demonstrates that Europe is the unfinished negative of which America is the proof  (American Quotes) The American character looks always as if it had just had a rather bad haircut, which gives it, in our eyes at any rate, a greater humanity than the European, which even among its beggars has an all too professional air  (American Quotes) I ask you to join in a re-United States. We need to empower our people so they can take more responsibility for their own lives in a world that is ever smaller, where everyone counts. We need a new spirit of community, a sense that we are all in this together, or the American Dream will continue to wither. Our destiny is bound up with the destiny of every other American  (American Quotes) What we have to do now is not to forget these people and places when all the cameras are not there. I think that's the most important message I can say to the American people right now  (American Quotes) We need to inject some old-fashioned American values and common-sense, practical thinking into our energy policy  (American Quotes) 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  (American Quotes) You know Americans are obsessed with life and death and rebirth, that's the American Cycle. You know, awakening, tragic, horrible death and then Phoenix rising from the ashes. That's the American story, again and again  (American Quotes) Americans are very frustrated, and they have every right to be. We've wasted a lot of our most precious treasure, which is American lives  (American Quotes) I think one of our big problems has been the fact that many Iraqis resent American military presence. And I don't pretend to know exactly Iraqi public opinion. But as soon as we can reduce our visibility as much as possible, the better I think it is going to be  (American Quotes) Because I know that as successful as I believe we will be, and I believe that the success will be fairly easy, we will still lose some American young men or women. And that's a great tragedy  (American Quotes) Neither party should be defined by pandering to the outer reaches of American politics and the agents of intolerance, whether they be Louis Farrakhan and Al Sharpton on the left, or Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell on the right  (American Quotes) We know that Medicare's going broke in seven years, but we need to start over.That's what the American people want us to do  (American Quotes) The American people want us to stop spending. And so let's just give them some certainty. Let's extend the tax - the existing tax cuts. And then let's give some more tax breaks to small businesses and large. And then maybe the American people will have some confidence  (American Quotes) To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics  (American Quotes) There are more American Indians alive today than there were when Columbus arrived or at any other time in history. Does this sound like a record of genocide?  (American Quotes) This is not a battle between the United States of America and terrorism, but between the free and democratic world and terrorism. 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  (American Quotes) It is not a sensible or intelligent response for us in Europe to ridicule American argument or parody their political leadership  (American Quotes) A political country is like an American forest; you have only to cut down the old trees, and immediately new trees come up to replace them  (American Quotes) The labor movement means just this: it is the last noble protest of the American people against the power of incorporated wealth  (American Quotes)
