"In this country we have no place for hyphenated Americans."
Theodore Roosevelt
"Our country offers the most wonderful example of democratic government on a giant scale that the world has ever seen; and the peoples of the world are watching to see whether we succeed or fail."
Theodore Roosevelt
"The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first, the love of soft living and the get rich quick theory of life."
Theodore Roosevelt
"The American people are slow to wrath, but when their wrath is once kindled it burns like a consuming flame."
Theodore Roosevelt
"It is not what we have that will make us a great nation; it is the way in which we use it."
Theodore Roosevelt
"Americans learn only from catastrophe and not from experience."
Theodore Roosevelt
"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
"The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself."
Benjamin Franklin
"America is a land of taxation that was founded to avoid taxation."
Laurence Peter
"America is a country that doesn't know where it is going but is determined to set a speed record getting there."
Laurence Peter
"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 the only country ever founded on a creed."
GK Chesterton
"I have one yardstick by which I test every major problem-and that yardstick is: Is it good for America?"
Dwight Eisenhower
"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
"Deliberation and debate is the way you stir the soul of our democracy."
Jesse Jackson
"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 Jackson
"The women of this nation in 1876, have greater cause for discontent, rebellion and revolution than the men of 1776."
Susan B. Anthony
"It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union... Men, their rights and nothing more; women, their rights and nothing less."
Susan B. Anthony
