I 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 JeffersonThose 62 million girls who are not being educated around the world impact my life in Washington, D.C., in the United States of America. Because if we aren’t empowering and providing the skills and the resources to half of our population, then we’re not realizing our full potential as a society, as mankind.
Michelle ObamaIn 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 BuffettAs a nuclear power – as the only nuclear power to have used a nuclear weapon – the United States has a moral responsibility to act.
Barack ObamaI do not like broccoli. And I haven’t liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I’m President of the United States and I’m not going to eat any more broccoli.
George H. W. BushSomeday, the capitalist system will disappear in the United States, because no social class system has been eternal. One day, class societies will disappear.
Fidel CastroAll 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 TutuThe purposes of the United States should not be doubted. The Security Council resolutions will be enforced – the just demands of peace and security will be met – or action will be unavoidable. And a regime that has lost its legitimacy will also lose its power.
Colin PowellThe U.S. immigration laws are bad – really, really bad. I’d say treatment of immigrants is one of the greatest injustices done in our government’s name.
Bill GatesThe happy Union of these States is a wonder; their Constitution a miracle; their example the hope of Liberty throughout the world.
James MadisonThe quality of research in the U.S. is absolutely the best.
Bill GatesAny negotiated, peaceful solution to the problems between the United States and peoples, or any people of Latin America, which does not imply force or the use of force, must be addressed in accordance with international principles and norms.
Fidel CastroI think that slavery is wrong, morally, socially and politically. I desire that it should be no further spread in these United States, and I should not object if it should gradually terminate in the whole Union.
Abraham LincolnIf you think the United States has stood still, who built the largest shopping center in the world?
Richard M. NixonHate crime is not new in the United States.
Kamala HarrisThe United States is a violent military state. It’s been involved in military action all over the place.
Noam ChomskyI don’t think it is so difficult to solve the problems between Cuba and the United States; it all depends on whether there is a dialogue, a discussion, or if the prejudices and hatred of people like the extremists and terrorists from the Cuban community, who try to impose their policies, prevail.
Fidel CastroThe White House is the finest prison in the world.
Harry S. TrumanImagine 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 SowellThe United States is supplying the most modern and sophisticated weaponry to Israel to the tune of billions of dollars every year.
Fidel CastroI’m reasonably optimistic about the future, especially the future of the United States – for the century, at least.
Elon MuskAs strong as the United States is, we can’t deal with terrorism alone.
Madeleine AlbrightThe 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 BidenFor me, America is really, truly the indispensable nation.
Madeleine AlbrightYou probably don’t need more weapons than what’s required to destroy every city on earth. There’s only 2,300 cities. So, the United States, by that criteria, only needs 2,300 nuclear weapons – well, we’ve got more than 25,000!
Carl SaganUnlike Europe, China can’t be intimidated. Europe backs down if the United States looks at it the wrong way. But China, they’ve been there for 3,000 years and are paying no attention to the barbarians and don’t see any need to.
Noam ChomskyThe United States has to move very fast to even stand still.
John F. KennedyI can die a happy man never having been president of the United States of America. But it doesn’t mean I won’t run.
Joe BidenTo 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 ChomskyHawaii has always been a very pivotal role in the Pacific. It is in the Pacific. It is a part of the United States that is an island that is right here.
Dan QuayleIllinois surpasses every other spot of equal extent upon the face of the globe in fertility of soil and in the proportionable amount of the same which is sufficiently level for actual cultivation.
Abraham LincolnThe United States is a nation of laws: badly written and randomly enforced.
Frank ZappaI’ve actually made a prediction that within 30 years a majority of new cars made in the United States will be electric. And I don’t mean hybrid, I mean fully electric.
Elon MuskWhy should Iran have a deterrent strategy? Well, it’s surrounded by hostile enemies. Both of its borders have been under occupation by a hostile superpower, the United States, which is constantly violating the U.N. charter by leaving open what they call the saying, ‚all options are open‘ – meaning the threat of war.
Noam ChomskyThe events of October 1962 are widely hailed as Kennedy’s finest hour.
Noam ChomskyThe 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 GinsburgThe United States fully accepts the profound truth that our own progress, prosperity, and peace are interlocked with the progress, prosperity, and peace of all humanity.
Herbert HooverLet’s teach kids, at the kindergarten level, what the contributions of people of color were to building the United States of America.
Dolores HuertaI perhaps ought to say that individually I never was much interested in the Texas question. I never could see much good to come of annexation, inasmuch as they were already a free republican people on our own model.
Abraham LincolnThe United States never lost a war or won a conference.
Will RogersThere 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 ObamaIn February 2004, the two traditional torturers of Haiti – France and the United States – combined to back a military coup and send President Aristide off to Africa. The U.S. denies him permission to return to the entire region.
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. JohnsonRight now, when we’re hearing so much disturbing and hateful rhetoric, it is so important to remember that our diversity has been – and will always be – our greatest source of strength and pride here in the United States.
Michelle ObamaHow long will it take the citizens of the United States, one wonders, to recognize that the house their country bombed in Iraq is the same one they were living in until it was foreclosed?
Alice WalkerMy 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 CastroWe have the oldest written constitution still in force in the world, and it starts out with three words, ‚We, the people.‘
Ruth Bader GinsburgSay ‚Toronto‘ or ‚Ontario,‘ and the immediate thought associations are with a somewhat blander version of North America: a United States with a welfare regime and a more polite street etiquette, and the additionally reassuring visage of Queen Elizabeth on the currency.
Christopher HitchensWe’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 ObamaIraq is a long way from the U.S., but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face.
Madeleine AlbrightI consider myself to be as informed on American foreign policy as anyone in America.
Joe BidenSurveys show our standing around the world is higher than when I was elected to this office, and when it comes to every important international issue, people of the world do not look to Beijing or Moscow to lead – they call us.
Barack ObamaRight after 9-11, as far as I know, one newspaper in the United States had the integrity to investigate opinion in the Muslim world: the ‚Wall Street Journal.‘
Noam ChomskyMy father was not a failure. After all, he was the father of a president of the United States.
Harry S. TrumanThe United States is not stingy. We are the greatest contributor to international relief efforts in the world.
Colin PowellBecause the Internet is so new, we still don’t really understand what it is. We mistake it for a type of publishing or broadcasting, because that’s what we’re used to. So people complain that there’s a lot of rubbish online, or that it’s dominated by Americans, or that you can’t necessarily trust what you read on the Web.
Douglas AdamsWe can’t have, like, willy-nilly proliferation of fake news. That’s crazy. You can’t have more types of fake news than real news. That’s allowing public deception to go unchecked. That’s crazy.
Elon MuskIf anyone is crazy enough to want to kill a president of the United States, he can do it. All he must be prepared to do is give his life for the president’s.
John F. KennedyThe fact is: It’s true what they say about the United States. It is a land of opportunity. It is too various to get bored with it.
Christopher HitchensI think America has always been polarized.
Alice Walker
