If we turn our backs of the Scythians who have provoked us, how shamefully shall we march against the revolted Bactrians; but if we pass Tanais and make the Scythians feel, by dear experience, that we are invincible, not in Asia only, it is not to be doubted but that Europe itself, as well as Asia, will come within the bounds of our conquests.
Alexander the GreatEurope became rich because it exploited Africa; and the Africans know that.
Desmond TutuUnlike 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 ChomskyWe must always remember that America is a great nation today not because of what government did for people but because of what people did for themselves and for one another.
Richard M. NixonPoliticians must set their aims for the high ground and according to our various leanings, Democratic, Republican, Independent, we will follow. Politicians must be told if they continue to sink into the mud of obscenity, they will proceed alone.
Maya AngelouQuite frankly, Russian aggression in Ukraine and its illegal occupation of Crimea remind us that we still have a good deal more work to do to guarantee the strategic vision of a Europe whole, free and at peace.
Joe BidenEurope was created by history. America was created by philosophy.
Margaret ThatcherBut the age of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded; and the glory of Europe is extinguished forever.
Edmund BurkeAn artist has no home in Europe except in Paris.
Friedrich NietzscheOur forces saved the remnants of the Jewish people of Europe for a new life and a new hope in the reborn land of Israel. Along with all men of good will, I salute the young state and wish it well.

Queen Elizabeth IILondon is a roost for every bird.
Benjamin DisraeliChina is a great manufacturing center, but it’s actually mostly an assembly plant. So it assembles parts and components, high technology that comes from the surrounding industrial – more advanced industrial centers – Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, the United States, Europe – and it basically assembles them.
Noam ChomskyUnlike many of its European neighbors, Britain shares many of America’s financial traits.

Dan QuayleI noticed words crudely spray-painted upon the wall, perhaps by a young Berliner: ‚This wall will fall. Beliefs become reality.‘ Yes, across Europe, this wall will fall. For it cannot withstand faith; it cannot withstand truth. The wall cannot withstand freedom.
Ronald ReaganEurope is so well gardened that it resembles a work of art, a scientific theory, a neat metaphysical system. Man has re-created Europe in his own image.
Aldous HuxleyEvery time I come to Europe, I’m just as excited as I was my very first time, which was many, many years ago. I love that part of the world, and I especially love the fans.
Dolly PartonEurope has what we do not have yet, a sense of the mysterious and inexorable limits of life, a sense, in a word, of tragedy. And we have what they sorely need: a sense of life’s possibilities.
James BaldwinThe Christian missionary may preach the gospel to the poor naked heathen, but the spiritual heathen who populate Europe have as yet heard nothing of Christianity.
Carl JungI believe that there are many herbs and many trees that are worth much in Europe for dyes and for medicines; but I do not know, and this causes me great sorrow. Arriving at this cape, I found the smell of the trees and flowers so delicious that it seemed the pleasantest thing in the world.
Christopher ColumbusWomen have no sympathy and my experience of women is almost as large as Europe.
Florence NightingaleI’m attracted to women who are smart and funny and ambitious and have lives of their own and great families. Isn’t that what attracts anyone?
Tom BradyIn America, there’s a failure to appreciate Europe’s leading role in the world.
Barack ObamaI think it is important for Europe to understand that even though I am president and George Bush is not president, Al Qaeda is still a threat.
Barack ObamaI’m personally a moderate and a registered independent, so I’m not strongly Democratic or strongly Republican.
Elon MuskI think that growing up in a crowded continent like Europe with an awful lot of competing claims, ideas… cultures… and systems of thought, we have, perforce, developed a more sophisticated notion of what the word ‚freedom‘ means than I see much evidence of in America.
Douglas AdamsA specter is haunting Europe – the specter of communism.
Karl MarxWhen we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.

Noam ChomskyYes, across Europe, this wall will fall. For it cannot withstand faith; it cannot withstand truth. The wall cannot withstand freedom.
Ronald ReaganI guess you’d call me an independent, since I’ve never identified myself with one party or another in politics. I always decide my vote by taking as careful a look as I can at the actual candidates and issues themselves, no matter what the party label.
Jackie RobinsonI was born in Europe… and I’ve traveled all over the world. I can tell you that there is no place, no country, that is more compassionate, more generous, more accepting, and more welcoming than the United States of America.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerBaldwin thought Europe was a bore, and Chamberlain thought it was only a greater Birmingham.
Winston ChurchillGermany is a great nation only because its people have so much Polish blood in their veins.
Friedrich NietzscheThe purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe with blood for centuries.
James MadisonI’ve always been a loner.
Kevin GatesThese 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 BuffettWhen you are nominated for the best player in Europe, the Ballon d’Or, playing in the Champions League, there is so much pressure. You don’t know what will happen. This pressure is inside you – you always have it.
Cristiano RonaldoThere is a specter haunting Europe, the specter of Communism.
Karl MarxThe ideal girl is driven, working on something other than modeling or being a singer.
DrakeWe travel often to Asia, Africa, Europe, where they were born.

Eleanor RooseveltWe are asking the nations of Europe between whom rivers of blood have flowed to forget the feuds of a thousand years.

Charles DickensI was in Europe and it was at this stage that I fell in love with Americans in uniform. And I continue to have that love affair.
Madeleine AlbrightTo walk through the ruined cities of Germany is to feel an actual doubt about the continuity of civilization.
George OrwellAre we simply waving farewell to the days when some of the most interesting thinking in Europe and America came to us from our fiction film-makers? BBC2, which once introduced and showed great films, now shows none.
David HareI’m different from any other designer, businesswise, in that I’ve built this company up and I own it. I never had business hype behind me to promote my image… My image is real… I have never had marketing people telling me what to do.
Vivienne WestwoodWe have listened too long to the courtly Muses of Europe.
Ralph Waldo EmersonI think long term you can see Tesla establishing factories in Europe, in other parts of the U.S. and in Asia.
Elon MuskI have no doubt that Russia will and should remain a major source of energy supplies for Europe and the world.
Joe BidenThe Holy Roman Empire is neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire.
VoltaireFrom Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent.
Winston ChurchillTo understand Europe, you have to be a genius – or French.
Madeleine AlbrightYou’ll never have any trouble with Mr. T, I’m just a big, calm teddy bear kind of guy. Mr. T ain’t ashamed to cry. When I go out and I meet people who are suffering and they come and talk to me, Mr. T cries, Mr. T who could break a man’s jaw with his fist.
Mr. T
