"We Americans have no commission from God to police the world."
Benjamin Harrison
"There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America."
Bill Clinton
"Today we can declare: Government is not the problem, and government is not the solution. We, the American people, we are the solution."
Bill Clinton
"Our destiny is bound up with the destiny of every other American."
Bill Clinton
"The business of America is business."
Calvin Coolidge
"The government of the United States is a device for maintaining in perpetuity the rights of the people, with the ultimate extinction of all privileged classes."
Calvin Coolidge
"Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return."
Colin Powell
"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions."
Daniel Webster
"Four years ago, some said the world had grown calm, and many assumed that the United States was invulnerable to danger. That thought might have been comforting; it was also false. Like other generations of Americans, we soon discovered that history had great and unexpected duties in store for us."
Dick Cheney
"We have to make America the best place in the world to do business."
Dick Cheney
"Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear — kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor — with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it."
Douglas MacArthur
"I have one yardstick by which I test every major problem-and that yardstick is: Is it good for America?"
Dwight Eisenhower
"I deplore the need or the use of troops anywhere to get American citizens to obey the orders of constituted courts."
Dwight Eisenhower
"Only Americans can hurt America."
Dwight Eisenhower
"We know that equality of individual ability has never existed and never will, but we do insist that equality of opportunity still must be sought."
Franklin D. Roosevelt
"The United States is in no sense founded upon the Christian doctrine."
George Washington
"It is our true policy to steer clear of any permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world."
George Washington
"The constitution vests the power of declaring war in Congress; therefore no offensive expedition of importance can be undertaken until after they shall have deliberated upon the subject and authorized such a measure."
George Washington
"America will never seek a permission slip to defend the security of our people."
George W. Bush
"The survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands."
George W. Bush
