The ambivert doesn't care whether you come as a friend or an enemy. He's always at peace.

– Mwanandeke KindemboRate it:

The American city should be a collection of communities where every member has a right to belong. It should be a place where every man feels safe on his streets and in the house of his friends. It should be a place where each individual's dignity and self-respect is strengthened by the respect and affection of his neighbors. It should be a place where each of us can find the satisfaciton and warmth which comes from being a member of the community of man. This is what man sought at the dawn of civilzation. It is what we seek today.

– Lyndon B. JohnsonRate it:

The American Constitution is, so far as I can see, the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man.

– William GladstoneRate it:

The American Constitution, one of the few modern political documents drawn up by men who were forced by the sternest circumstances to think out what they really had to face, instead of chopping logic in a university classroom.

– George Bernard ShawRate it:

The American doctrinaire is the converse of the American demagogue, and, in this way, is scarcely less injurious to the public. The first deals in poetry, the last in cant. He is as much a visionary on one side, as the extreme theoretical democrat is a visionary on the other.

– James Fenimore CooperRate it:

The American experience stirred mankind from discovery to exploration, from the cautious quest for what they knew (or what they thought they knew) was out there, to an enthusiastic reaching to the unknown.

– Daniel J. BoorstinRate it:

The American experience stirred mankind from discovery to exploration. From the cautious quest for what they knew (or thought they knew) was out there, into an enthusiastic reaching to the unknown. These are two substantially different kinds of human enterprise.

– Daniel J. BoorstinRate it:

The American ideal is youth -- handsome, empty youth.

– Henry MillerRate it:

The American lives even more for his goals, for the future, than the European. Life for him is always becoming, never being.

– Albert EinsteinRate it:

The American male at the peak of his physical powers and appetites, driving 160 big white horses across the scenes of an increasingly open society, with weekend money in his pocket and with little prior exposure to trouble and tragedy, personifies an accident going to happen.

– John Sloan DickeyRate it:

The American mind, unlike the English, is not formed by books, but, as Carl Sandburg once said to me, by newspapers and the Bible.

– Van Wyck BrooksRate it:

The American mood, perhaps even the American character, has changed. There are few manifestations any longer of the old American self-assurance which so irritated Dickens. Instead, there is a sense of frustration so perceptible that even our politicians have attempted to exploit it.

– Archibald MacLeishRate it:

The American notion of freedom transcended the political realm and in fact extended to every major category of human relationships, including those between employer and employee, clergyman and layman, husband and wife, parent and child, public official and citizen. Americans believed that, as of July 4, 1776, all men were created equal, and that any impairment of a man’s equality was destructive of his liberty also.

– David M. PotterRate it:

The American people would not want to know of any misquotes that Dan Quayle may or may not make.

– Dan QuayleRate it:

The American people, intrenched in freedom at home, take their love for it with them wherever they go...

– William McKinleyRate it:

The American press is extraordinarily free and vigorous, as it should be. It should be, not because it is free of inaccuracy, oversimplification and bias, but because the alternative to that freedom is worse than those failings.

– Robert BorkRate it:

The American renaissance begins with the unified revolutionary act of turning off and smashing the television, rejecting Hollywood on all fronts and refusing to intellectually ingest the toxic force feed of the establishment minority’s matrix narrative.

– James ScottRate it:

The American sign of civic progress is to tear down the familiar and erect the monstrous.

– Shane LeslieRate it:

The American temptation is to believe that foreign policy is a subdivision of psychiatry.

– Robert Francis KennedyRate it:

The American wage earner and the American housewife are a lot better economists than most economists care to admit. They know that a government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.

– Gerald FordRate it:

The American, by nature, is optimistic. He is experimental, an inventor and a builder who builds best when called upon to build greatly.

– John F. KennedyRate it:

The American, if he has a spark of national feeling, will be humiliated by the very prospect of a foreigner's visit to Congress -- these, for the most part, illiterate hacks whose fancy vests are spotted with gravy, and whose speeches, hypocritical, unctuous, and slovenly, are spotted also with the gravy of political patronage, these persons are a reflection on the democratic process rather than of it; they expose it in its process rather than of it; they expose it in its underwear.

– Mary McCarthyRate it:

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, Democracy in America, author Alexis de TocquevilleRate it:

The Americans have need of the telephone, but we do not. We have plenty of messenger boys.

– Sir William PreeceRate it:
