Greta ThunbergA 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 ChomskyThe 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 PowellI 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 LincolnIn the United States, we can do almost anything we want. It’s not like Egypt, where you’re going to get murdered by the security forces.
Noam ChomskyYesterday, December seventh, 1941, a date which will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. We will gain the inevitable triumph, so help us God.

Madeleine AlbrightIf there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America.
Nelson MandelaIn every country except – industrial country except the United States, the government uses its massive purchasing power to negotiate drug prices. That’s one of the reasons prices are so much higher in the United States than in other countries.

Yet the Dow rose from 66 to 11,497.

Ronald ReaganI think America has always been polarized.
Alice WalkerI can’t imagine what this place would be – I can’t imagine what the country would be – with Donald Trump as our president.
Ruth Bader GinsburgIf I hadn’t been President of the United States, I probably would have ended up a piano player in a bawdy house.

Dan QuayleLadies and gentlemen, god bless America – land of the free, home of the brave.
Dave GrohlI’m reasonably optimistic about the future, especially the future of the United States – for the century, at least.
Elon MuskI do not look upon these United States as a finished product. We are still in the making.
Franklin D. RooseveltI am quite serious when I say that I do not believe there are, on the whole earth besides, so many intensified bores as in these United States. No man can form an adequate idea of the real meaning of the word, without coming here.
Warren BuffettBy disgracing and degrading the presidency of the United States, by fleeing the White House like a diseased cur, Richard Nixon broke the heart of the American Dream.

David ByrneIn 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.

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 GinsburgAll 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 TutuNobody wants to put the creditworthiness of the United States in jeopardy. Nobody wants to see the United States default. So we’ve got to seize this moment, and we have to seize it soon.
Barack ObamaYou 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 SaganSay ‚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 HitchensThe 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 BidenThe 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 ChomskyI’ve used the prestige and influence of having been a president of the United States as effectively as possible. And secondly, I’ve still been able to carry out my commitments to peace and human rights and environmental quality and freedom and democracy and so forth.
Jimmy CarterThe U.S. – the idea that the U.S. has introduced and imposed principles of international law, that’s hardly even a joke. The United States has even gone so far as to veto Security Council resolutions calling on all states to observe international law. That was in the 1980s under Reagan.
Noam ChomskyArmed attack has a definition in international law. It means sudden, overwhelming, instantaneous ongoing attack.
Noam ChomskyThe 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.

Noam ChomskyThe United States is a violent military state. It’s been involved in military action all over the place.
Noam ChomskyI 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 SchwarzeneggerFour score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Abraham LincolnI can say with confidence there has never been a man or a woman – not me, not Bill, nobody – more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as president of the United States of America.
Barack ObamaAmerica doesn’t have health insurance.
Joe BidenGovernment does not create wealth. The major role for the government is to create an environment where people take risks to expand the job rate in the United States.
George W. BushWe’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 ObamaThe West Bank is essentially imprisoned.
Noam ChomskyThe happy Union of these States is a wonder; their Constitution a miracle; their example the hope of Liberty throughout the world.

J. Robert OppenheimerThe United States is a nation of laws: badly written and randomly enforced.
Frank ZappaRomania, which had the worst dictator in Eastern Europe, Ceausescu, he was a darling of the West. The United States and Britain loved him. He was supported until the last minute.
Noam ChomskyNATO was constructed on the – with the reason, whether one believes it or not, that it was going to defend Western Europe from Russian assault. Once the Berlin Wall fell and the Soviet Union was beginning to collapse, that reason was gone. So, first question: why does NATO exist?

Noam ChomskyWhen you decide to get involved in a military operation in a place like Syria, you’ve got to be prepared, as we learned from Iraq and Afghanistan, to become the government, and I’m not sure any country, either the United States or I don’t hear of anyone else, who’s willing to take on that responsibility.
Colin PowellIt was during the Reagan years that defiance of international law and the U.N. Charter became entirely open.
Noam ChomskyIf you destroyed half the pharmaceutical production in the United States, we’d think it’s a pretty serious problem. In fact, we’d probably go to war.
