These old ballparks are like cathedrals in America. We don’t have big old Gothic cathedrals like they do in Europe. But we got baseball parks.
Jimmy BuffettI’ve been waiting over 40 years to come to Cyprus, and it has not disappointed – the birthplace of Aphrodite, the Crossroads of Civilization, and, I might add, a genuine strategic partner to the United States of America.
Joe BidenThe people made worse off by slavery were those who were enslaved. Their descendants would have been worse off today if born in Africa instead of America. Put differently, the terrible fate of their ancestors benefitted them.
Thomas SowellAmerica – a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose.
Herbert HooverWhat 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 is supplying the most modern and sophisticated weaponry to Israel to the tune of billions of dollars every year.
Fidel CastroI look forward to a great future for America – a future in which our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purpose.
John F. KennedyThis election is about who’s going to be the next President of the United States!
Dan QuayleThe fact is, with every friendship you make, and every bond of trust you establish, you are shaping the image of America projected to the rest of the world. That is so important. So when you study abroad, you’re actually helping to make America stronger.
Michelle ObamaEvery country is like a particular type of person. America is like a belligerent, adolescent boy; Canada is like an intelligent, 35-year-old woman. Australia is like Jack Nicholson. It comes right up to you and laughs very hard in your face in a highly threatening and engaging manner.
Douglas AdamsI think when the president of the United States calls for military action, he should do it for a united people, especially when the methods have been so cruel, so explicitly directed at Americans.
Henry KissingerAmerica is never wholly herself unless she is engaged in high moral principle. We as a people have such a purpose today. It is to make kinder the face of the nation and gentler the face of the world.
George H. W. BushThe U.S. increasingly has taken on the characteristics of what we describe as ‚failed states.‘
Noam ChomskyEurope was created by history. America was created by philosophy.
Margaret ThatcherIt cannot be too often stressed that Israel had no credible pretext for its 2008-9 attack on Gaza, with full U.S. support and illegally using U.S. weapons.
Noam ChomskyIf aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans.
Stephen HawkingTo make America the greatest is my goal, so I beat the Russian and I beat the Pole. And for the U.S.A. won the medal of gold. The Greeks said, ‚You’re better than the Cassius of old.‘
Muhammad AliSomeday, the capitalist system will disappear in the United States, because no social class system has been eternal. One day, class societies will disappear.
Fidel CastroIn the wake of the events of 11 September 2001, it now seems clear that the shock of the attacks was exploited in America.
Brian EnoAmerica is a country of inventors, and the greatest of inventors are the newspaper men.
Alexander Graham BellIn 1979, Iranians carried out an illegitimate act: They overthrew a tyrant that the United States had imposed and supported, and moved on an independent path, not following U.S. orders.
Noam ChomskyPeace and abstinence from European interferences are our objects, and so will continue while the present order of things in America remain uninterrupted.
Thomas JeffersonIn America the President reigns for four years, and Journalism governs forever and ever.
Oscar WildeThe United States is a violent military state. It’s been involved in military action all over the place.
Noam ChomskyEven if soccer is not number one in the United States, they do things very well here. There’s much our country can learn from the U.S.A., because we all know that soccer is not the main game in India. We can still do more things, like provide better facilities for the players so they can perform well.
Sunil ChhetriI 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 ObamaI cannot conceive of Israel withdrawing if Arab states do not recognize Israel, within secure borders.
Nelson MandelaYesterday, 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.
Franklin D. RooseveltSenator McCain is Israel’s most unconditional ally in Mossad’s machinations, something that even his worst adversaries would have been able to imagine. McCain participated alongside this secret service in the creation of the Islamic State, which has appropriated a considerable part of Iraq as well as a third of Syria, according to its affirmations.
Fidel CastroIf the United States of America or Britain is having elections, they don’t ask for observers from Africa or from Asia. But when we have elections, they want observers.
Nelson MandelaNobody’s ever called me Sir Richard. Occasionally in America, I hear people saying Sir Richard and think there’s some Shakespearean play taking place. But nowhere else anyway.
Richard BransonAmerica’s experience, like many others, teaches us that fostering entrepreneurship is not just about crafting the right economic policy or developing the best educated curricula. It’s about creating an entire climate in which innovation and ideas flourish.
Joe BidenForeignness is all around. Only in the heart of the heart of the country, namely the heart of the United States, can you avoid such a thing. In the center of an empire, you can think of your experience as universal. Outside the empire or on the fringes of the empire, you cannot.
Margaret AtwoodI was distressed that after 9/11, when the United States was attacked by terrorists, the United States‘ response was to attack Afghanistan, where some of the terrorists had been.
Alice WalkerI have dual citizenship; it just so happens I live in America. I would like to go back to Wales. I’m obsessed with my childhood, and at least three times a week dream I am back there.
Anthony HopkinsI 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 JeffersonThe glamour of it all! New York! America!
Charlie ChaplinIsrael is guilty of apartheid and persecution of the Palestinian people, both inside Israel and also in the Occupied Territories.
Alice WalkerPeople seem to know about May Day everywhere except where it began, here in the United States of America. That’s because those in power have done everything they can to erase its real meaning.
Noam ChomskyIn 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 ChomskyAmerica is a poem in our eyes; its ample geography dazzles the imagination, and it will not wait long for metres.
Ralph Waldo EmersonGovernment 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. BushThe 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 ChomskyI disagree with any policy that would turn America’s back on people who are fleeing harm. I frankly believe that it is contrary to everything that we have symbolically and actually said we stand for.
Kamala HarrisBecause I know about the Holy Land, I’ve taught lessons about the Holy Land all my life, and – but you can’t bring peace to Israel without giving the Palestinian also peace. And Lebanon and Jordan and Syria as well.
Jimmy CarterAmerica’s commitment to collective defense under Article 5 of NATO is a sacred obligation in our view – a sacred obligation not just for now, but for all time.
Joe BidenIf 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.
Noam ChomskyI think there is a sense of being forced at this time to look at America’s really large shadow and that’s not all that bad.
Alice WalkerOur friends at the Republican convention were more than happy to talk about everything they think is wrong with America, but they didn’t have much to say about how they’d make it right. They want your vote, but they don’t want you to know their plan.
Barack ObamaI continue to care for President Obama and for his family. I think that in many ways they are very courageous people, and I honor that, because I know what it means to live as a black person in a racist America.
Alice WalkerOne-third of the people in the United States promote, while the other two-thirds provide.
Will RogersI have dual citizenship, it just so happens I live in America.
Anthony HopkinsIn America, there might be better gastronomic destinations than New Orleans, but there is no place more uniquely wonderful.
Anthony BourdainAmerica means far more than a continent bounded by two oceans. It is more than pride of military power, glory in war, or in victory. It means more than vast expanse of farms, of great factories or mines, magnificent cities, or millions of automobiles and radios.
Herbert HooverSelf-interest is the enemy of all true affection.
Franklin D. RooseveltI love America more than any other country in this world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.
James BaldwinWhile victimhood in America is exalted, I don’t think our veterans should join those ranks.
Jim MattisThere is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.
Isaac AsimovIn known history, nobody has had such capacity for altering the universe than the people of the United States of America. And nobody has gone about it in such an aggressive way.
Alan WattsIt’s never paid to bet against America. We come through things, but its not always a smooth ride.
Warren Buffett
