Our position is that we do not accept conditions of any kind which may affect the independence and sovereignty of our country just with the view to solve economic problems existing between the United States and Cuba.
Fidel CastroUnder the Timber and Stone Act of 1878, which might well have been called the ‚Dust and Ashes Act,‘ any citizen of the United States could take up one hundred and sixty acres of timber land and, by paying two dollars and a half an acre for it, obtain title.
John MuirIf you are in the country, you should notice landmarks – that is, objects which help you to find your way or prevent you getting lost, such as distant hills, church towers, and nearer objects, such as peculiar buildings, trees, gates, rocks, etc.
Robert Baden-PowellLadies and gentlemen, god bless America – land of the free, home of the brave.
Dave GrohlI am mortified to be told that, in the United States of America, the sale of a book can become a subject of inquiry, and of criminal inquiry too.
Thomas JeffersonIn the spring of 1929, I returned to the United States. I was homesick for this country. I had learned in my student days a great deal about the new physics. I wanted to pursue this myself, to explain it, and to foster its cultivation.
J. Robert OppenheimerYou are twice as likely to be struck by lightning as you around to be affected by a terrorist event in the United States.
Joe BidenGreece has been, in many ways, a partially dysfunctional society. For example, the wealthy barely pay taxes… to an extent, that’s true elsewhere, including the United States, but it’s been pretty extreme in Greece.
Noam ChomskyIn order for the United States to do the right things for the long term, it appears to be helpful for us to have the prospect of humiliation. Sputnik helped us fund good science – really good science: the semiconductor came out of it.
Bill GatesSomeday, the capitalist system will disappear in the United States, because no social class system has been eternal. One day, class societies will disappear.
Fidel CastroI almost laughed about the Machiavellian plans of the presidents of the United States.
Fidel CastroI love being in the United States Senate.
John KennedyThe notion that it is improper to look beyond the borders of the United States in grappling with hard questions has a certain kinship to the view that the U.S. Constitution is a document essentially frozen in time as of the date of its ratification.
Ruth Bader GinsburgWhere you live in the world should not determine whether you live in the world.
BonoIn the United States, one of the main topics of academic political science is the study of attitudes and policy and their correlation. The study of attitudes is reasonably easy in the United States: heavily-polled society, pretty serious and accurate polls, and policy you can see, and you can compare them.
Noam ChomskyAt first, I was called a quack, a charlatan, and worse, year after year, in Australia, England and the United States, by men who simply refused to believe that a nurse from ‚the bush‘ could devise a treatment which succeeded where they had failed.
Elizabeth KennyIt’s overwhelmingly in the self-interest of the United States of America to have a secure, democratic friend, a strategic partner like Israel.
Joe BidenUndoubtedly, the U.S. harbors leading international terrorists, people described by the F.B.I. and the Justice Department as leading terrorists, like Orlando Bosch, now Posada Carriles, not to speak of those who actually implement state terrorism.
Noam ChomskyGeography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners, and necessity has made us allies. Those whom God has so joined together, let no man put asunder.
John F. KennedyImagine a political system so radical as to promise to move more of the poorest 20% of the population into the richest 20% than remain in the poorest bracket within the decade? You don’t need to imagine it. It’s called the United States of America.
Thomas SowellA number of analysts have observed that although bin Laden was finally killed, he won some major successes in his war against the U.S.
Noam ChomskySin is geographical.
Bertrand RussellAmerican imperialism is often traced to the takeover of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii in 1898.
Noam ChomskyThe United States never stopped conspiring against the Arab world, which holds the largest oil reserves on the planet.
Fidel CastroThere are no record companies in Waikiki.
Bruno MarsIn many respects, the United States is a great country. Freedom of speech is protected more than in any other country. It is also a very free society.
Noam ChomskyHow fortunate I was to be alive and a lawyer when, for the first time in United States history, it became possible to urge, successfully, before legislatures and courts, the equal-citizenship stature of women and men as a fundamental constitutional principle.
Ruth Bader GinsburgIn the 20th century, the United States endured two world wars and other traumatic and expensive military conflicts; the Depression; a dozen or so recessions and financial panics; oil shocks; a flu epidemic; and the resignation of a disgraced president. Yet the Dow rose from 66 to 11,497.
Warren BuffettThe terrorists and their supporters declared war on the United States – and war is what they got.
George W. BushThe United States was seriously defeated in Iraq by Iraqi nationalism – mostly by nonviolent resistance. The United States could kill the insurgents, but they couldn’t deal with half a million people demonstrating in the streets.
Noam ChomskyFor me, America is really, truly the indispensable nation.
Madeleine AlbrightWhat we need is a system of thought – you might even call it a religion – that can bind humans together. A system that would fit the Republic of Chad as well as the United States: a system that would supply our idealistic young people with something to believe in.
Abraham MaslowThe United States supports a strong, united Ukraine with productive and peaceful relationships with both the East and the West, with both Russia and Europe.
Joe BidenI can hear you, the rest of the world can hear you and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.
George W. BushThe United States, to state the obvious, is greatly concerned by the startling number of unaccompanied minors that – children and teenagers who are making a very perilous journey through Central America to reach the United States.
Joe BidenThe United States is unusual among the industrial democracies in the rigidity of the system of ideological control – ‚indoctrination‘, we might say – exercised through the mass media.
Noam ChomskyIn order to deal with all the medical cost demands and other challenges in the U.S., as we look to raise that revenue, the rich will have to pay slightly more. That’s quite clear.
Bill GatesBeing a Puerto Rican artist, I support all kinds of projects that are developed on my beautiful island that in some way or another put our Puerto Rican flag up.
Bad BunnyAll the United States, it is a society that is split like to the bottom, that had very poor people in the country that is one of the wealthiest countries.
Desmond TutuWe’ve persevered because of a belief we share with the Iraqi people – a belief that out of the ashes of war, a new beginning could be born in this cradle of civilization. Through this remarkable chapter in the history of the United States and Iraq, we have met our responsibility. Now, it’s time to turn the page.
Barack ObamaI don’t think a Jewish or Christian or Islamic state is a proper concept. I would object to the United States as a Christian state.
Noam ChomskyThe United States tyrannizes and pillages the globalized world with its political, economic, technological, and military might.
Fidel CastroI believe with all my heart that America remains ‚the great idea‘ that inspires the world. It is a privilege to be born here. It is an honor to become a citizen here. It is a gift to raise your family here, to vote here, and to live here.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerStood off and on during the night, determining not to come to anchor till morning, fearing to meet with shoals; continued our course in the morning; and as the island was found to be six or seven leagues distant, and the tide was against us, it was noon when we arrived there.
Christopher ColumbusTo say that the United States has pursued diplomacy with North Korea is a little bit misleading. It did under the Clinton administration, though neither side completely lived up to their obligations. Clinton didn’t do what was promised, nor did North Korea, but they were making progress.
Noam ChomskyThe United States has been enriched by Muslim Americans. Many other Americans have Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim-majority country – I know, because I am one of them.
Barack ObamaMy idea, as the whole world knows, is that the capitalist system now doesn’t work either for the United States or the world, driving it from crisis to crisis, which are each time more serious.
Fidel CastroThere is not a liberal America and a conservative America – there is the United States of America. There is not a black America and a white America and latino America and asian America – there’s the United States of America.
Barack ObamaWhen I was a kid, I loved Elvis, and Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. But I had no connection to Hollywood – and being a movie star was such a far-fetched idea, growing up in Hawaii.
Dwayne JohnsonI’m substantially concerned about the policy directions of the space agency. We have a situation in the U.S. where the White House and Congress are at odds over what the future direction should be. They’re sort of playing a game and NASA is the shuttlecock that they’re hitting back and forth.
Neil ArmstrongHawaii is paradise. It sounds cheesy to say it, but there’s music in the air there.
Bruno MarsAmerica doesn’t have health insurance.
Joe BidenThis election is about who’s going to be the next President of the United States!
Dan QuayleI still consider myself a little, fat kid from Hawaii.
Robert KiyosakiThe United States is definitely ahead in culture of innovation. If someone wants to accomplish great things, there is no better place than the U.S.
Elon MuskWe shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.
Winston ChurchillThe Soviet Union, the socialist camp, the People’s Republic of China, and North Korea helped us resist, with essential supplies and weapons, the implacable blockade of the United States, the most powerful empire ever to exist.
Fidel CastroSome day, following the example of the United States of America, there will be a United States of Europe.
George WashingtonThe United States is afraid of China; it is not a military threat to anyone and is the least aggressive of all the major military powers.
Noam ChomskyIt is important that the United States remain a two-party system. I’m a fellow who likes small parties and the Republican Party can’t be too small to suit me.
Lyndon B. Johnson
