"Deliberation and debate is the way you stir the soul of our democracy."
Jesse Jackson
"Our flag is red, white and blue, but our nation is a rainbow -- red, yellow, brown, black and white -- and we're all precious in God's sight."
Jesse Jackson
"We cannot be both the world’s leading champion of peace and the world’s leading supplier of arms."
Jimmy Carter
"America did not invent human rights. In a very real sense...human rights invented America."
Jimmy Carter
"I am well aware of the toil and blood and treasure that it will cost to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. Yet through all the gloom I can see the rays of ravishing light and glory. I can see that the end is worth more than the means."
John Adams
"Ours is the only country deliberately founded on a good idea."
John Gunther
"America is a vast conspiracy to make you happy."
John Updike
"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
John Adams
"The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission."
John F. Kennedy
"We dare not forget that we are the heirs of that first revolution."
John F. Kennedy
"To those new States whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny."
John F. Kennedy
"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty."
John F. Kennedy
"My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man."
John F. Kennedy
"Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans."
John F. Kennedy
"America is a country that doesn't know where it is going but is determined to set a speed record getting there."
Laurence Peter
"America is a land of taxation that was founded to avoid taxation."
Laurence Peter
"Sitting at the table doesn't make you a diner, unless you eat some of what's on that plate. Being here in America doesn't make you an American. Being born here in America doesn't make you an American."
Malcolm X
"It is by the goodness of God that, in this country, we have three benefits: freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and the wisdom never to use either."
Mark Twain
"This country was built on rape, slavery, murder, degradation and affiliation with crime."
Mike Tyson
"If there is any principle of the Constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other it is the principle of free thought, not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought that we hate."
Oliver Wendell Holmes
