"The country shall be independent, and we will be satisfied with nothing short of it."
Samuel Adams
"We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we may always be free."
Ronald Reagan
"The
Declaration of Independence
dogmatically bases all rights on the fact that God created all men equal; and it is right; for if they were not created equal, they were certainly evolved unequal. There is no basis for democracy except in a dogma about the divine origin of man."
GK Chesterton
"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
"I deplore the need or the use of troops anywhere to get American citizens to obey the orders of constituted courts."
Dwight Eisenhower
"It is our true policy to steer clear of any permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world."
George Washington
"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
"The greatness of our country has been based on our thinking that everyone has a right even to be wrong."
Ronald Reagan
"America is a large friendly dog in a small room. Every time it wags its tail it knocks over a chair."
Arnold Toynbee
"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
"In the United States the majority undertakes to supply a multitude of ready-made opinions for the use of individuals, who are thus relieved from the necessity of forming opinions of their own."
Alexis de Tocqueville
"The Americans combine the notions of Christianity and of liberty so intimately in their minds, that it is impossible to make them conceive the one without the other."
Alexis de Tocqueville
"The flames kindled on the Fourth of July, 1776, have spread over too much of the globe to be extinguished by the feeble engines of despotism; on the contrary, they will consume these engines and all who work them."
Thomas Jefferson
"The United States stands at the pinnacle of world power. This is a solemn moment for the American democracy. For with primacy in power is joined an awe-inspiring accountability for the future."
Winston Churchill
"When an American says that he loves his country, he means not only that he loves the New England hills, the prairies glistening in the sun, the wide and rising plains, the great mountains, and the sea. He means that he loves an inner air, an inner light in which freedom lives and in which a man can draw the breath of self-respect."
Adlai Stevenson
"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
"It is not what we have that will make us a great nation; it is the way in which we use it."
Theodore Roosevelt
"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
"Sometimes people call me an idealist. Well, that is the way I know I am an American. America is the only idealistic nation in the world."
Woodrow Wilson
