America is great because America is good. If America ever ceases to be good it will cease to be great.

– Alexis de TocquevilleRate it:

America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.

– Alexis Charles Henri Clrel de TocquevilleRate it:

America is just the country that shows how all the written guarantees in the world for freedom are no protection against tyranny and oppression of the worst kind. There the politician has come to be looked upon as the very scum of society.

– Peter KropotkinRate it:

America is never wholly herself unless she is engaged in high moral principle. We as a people have such a purpose today. It is to make kinder the face of the nation and gentler the face of the world.

– George Herbert Walker BushRate it:

– Barack ObamaRate it:

America is not a blanket woven from one thread, one color, one cloth.

– Jesse JacksonRate it:

America is not a melting pot. We do not all share the same values, beliefs, religion or even language. What unites us is the law. The law we all freely and voluntarily consent to. The law that says rape, robbery and murder are evil and should be prohibited in a civilized society. We ask law enforcement to represent us in prohibiting these evil acts. They stand on the blue line which separates law and order on one side and chaos and anarchy on the other. There can be no middle ground, so choose which side of the line you will stand on.

– Okaloosa County Sheriff Larry AshleyRate it:

America is not like a blanket -- one piece of unbroken cloth, the same color, the same texture, the same size. America is more like a quilt -- many patches, many pieces, many colors, many sizes, all woven and held together by a common thread.

– Henry M. JacksonRate it:

America is not like a blanket-one piece of unbroken cloth, the same color, the same texture, the same size. America is more like a quilt-many patches, many pieces, many colors, many sizes, all woven and held together by a common thread.

– Jesse Louis JacksonRate it:

America is not merely a nation but a nation of nations.

– Lyndon B. JohnsonRate it:

America is not only big and rich, it is mysterious and its capacity for the humorous or ironical concealment of its interests matches that of the legendary inscrutable Chinese.

– David RiesmanRate it:

America is promises to take! America is promises to us to take them.

– Archibald MacLeishRate it:

America is rather like life. You can usually find in it what you look for. It will probably be interesting, and it is sure to be large.

– E. M. ForsterRate it:

America is so vast that almost everything said about it is likely to be true, and the opposite is probably equally true.

– James T. FarrellRate it:

America is still the best country for the common man -- white or black ... if he can't make it here he won't make it anywhere else.

– Eric HofferRate it:

America is the civilization of people engaged in transforming themselves. In the past, the stars of the performance were the pioneer and the immigrant. Today, it is youth and the Black.

– Georges ClemenceauRate it:

America is the only nation in history which, miraculously, has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.

– Georges ClémenceauRate it:

America is the world's living myth. There's no sense of wrong when you kill an American or blame America for some local disaster. This is our function, to be character types, to embody recurring themes that people can use to comfort themselves, justify themselves and so on. We're here to accommodate. Whatever people need, we provide. A myth is a useful thing.

– Don DeLilloRate it:
