So long as our Corps fields such Marines, America has nothing to fear from tyrants, be they Fascists, Communists or Tyrants with Medieval Ideology. For we serve in a Corps with no institutional confusion about our purpose: To fight! To fight well!

We will invest in our people, quality education, job opportunity, family, neighborhood, and yes, a thing we call America.

Here in America, we don’t let our differences tear us apart. Not here. Because we know that our greatness comes from when we appreciate each other’s strengths, when we learn from each other, when we lean on each other, because in this country, it’s never been each person for themselves. No, we’re all in this together. We always have been.

If there be no enemy there’s no fight. If no fight, no victory and if no victory there is no crown.

For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?

Life, if well lived, is long enough.

In England, an inventor is regarded almost as a crazy man, and in too many instances, invention ends in disappointment and poverty. In America, an inventor is honoured, help is forthcoming, and the exercise of ingenuity, the application of science to the work of man, is there the shortest road to wealth.

America is just downright mean.

To not to have entirely wasted one’s life seems to be a worthy accomplishment, if only for myself.

America must not ignore the threat gathering against us. Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof, the smoking gun that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud.

A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.

Freedom is a right ultimately defended by the sacrifice of America’s servicemen and women.

In America, there’s a failure to appreciate Europe’s leading role in the world.

Everywhere that freedom stirs, let tyrants fear.

It’s always going to be a fight for anyone who isn’t an older white man. I want to fight for anyone who doesn’t have a fight.

While victimhood in America is exalted, I don’t think our veterans should join those ranks.

If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn’t turn out well for the Native Americans.

Writing makes you feel that there is a reason to go on living. If I couldn’t write, I would stop breathing.

Aim above morality. Be not simply good, be good for something.

America is a nation that conceives many odd inventions for getting somewhere but it can think of nothing to do once it gets there.

We cannot be sure of having something to live for unless we are willing to die for it.

America is a country of inventors, and the greatest of inventors are the newspaper men.

There are no pleasures in a fight but some of my fights have been a pleasure to win.

I came here in 1974 to do a play, and then I went to L.A. I really like living in America. I feel more at home here than anywhere else.

Because of my parents‘ love of democracy, we came to America after being driven twice from our home in Czechoslovakia – first by Hitler and then by Stalin.

There’s place and means for every man alive.

First, how do we give everyone a fair shot at opportunity and security in this new economy? Second, how do we make technology work for us, and not against us – especially when it comes to solving urgent challenges like climate change? Third, how do we keep America safe and lead the world without becoming its policeman?

There is nothing wrong with America that faith, love of freedom, intelligence, and energy of her citizens cannot cure.

We welcome the scrutiny of the world – because what you see in America is a country that has steadily worked to address our problems and make our union more perfect.

I can’t believe that God put us on this earth to be ordinary.

Unfortunately, after Sept. 11, there was an outburst in America of intense suffering and patriotism, and the Bush administration was very shrewd and effective in painting anyone who disagreed with the policies as unpatriotic or even traitorous.

Use power to help people. For we are given power not to advance our own purposes nor to make a great show in the world, nor a name. There is but one just use of power and it is to serve people.

Tyrants seldom want pretexts.

I always knew who I was, and I always ran from my true purpose… I know what my job is. And I always ran from it.

My work is about my life, and what I want to do with it.

I feel that God wants me to coach; otherwise, he wouldn’t have put the desire in me.

America 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.

Unlike many of its European neighbors, Britain shares many of America’s financial traits.

I was only the servant of my country and had I, at any moment, failed to express her unflinching resolve to fight and conquer, I should at once have been rightly cast aside.

My heart aches for America and its deceived people.

I 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.

Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours.

America has absorbed people from around the world, and there is an Indian in every part of the world. This characterizes both the societies. Indians and Americans have co-existed in their natural temperament.

Nature does nothing in vain.

Commit yourself to a mighty purpose.

America – a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose.

The action we take and the decisions we make in this decade will have consequences far into this century. If America shows weakness and uncertainty, the world will drift toward tragedy. That will not happen on my watch.

I think life on Earth must be about more than just solving problems… It’s got to be something inspiring, even if it is vicarious.

I have so much in my life. I want to be of value to the world.

I think that everybody needs four things in life. Everybody needs something to do regardless of age. Everybody needs someone to love. Everybody needs something to hope for, and, of course, everybody needs someone to believe in.

Now, as a nation, we don’t promise equal outcomes, but we were founded on the idea everybody should have an equal opportunity to succeed. No matter who you are, what you look like, where you come from, you can make it. That’s an essential promise of America. Where you start should not determine where you end up.

Get off your butt and join the Marines!

I will keep America moving forward, always forward, for a better America, for an endless enduring dream and a thousand Points of Light. This is my mission, and I will complete it.

Oh yes, there’s lots of great food in America. But the fast food is about as destructive and evil as it gets. It celebrates a mentality of sloth, convenience, and a cheerful embrace of food we know is hurting us.

We are America, second to none, and we own the finish line. Don’t forget it.

This is not Johnson’s war. This is America’s war. If I drop dead tomorrow, this war will still be with you.

Everywhere in life, the true question is not what we gain, but what we do.

What is a fear of living? It’s being preeminently afraid of dying. It is not doing what you came here to do, out of timidity and spinelessness. The antidote is to take full responsibility for yourself – for the time you take up and the space you occupy. If you don’t know what you’re here to do, then just do some good.

Ladies and gentlemen, god bless America – land of the free, home of the brave.

And so I think that the idea of America working with other countries to solve problems is good for us, and it is part of digging us out of the ‚my way or the highway‘ approach that was evident in the previous eight years.

Justice is expensive in America. There are no Free Passes… You might want to remember this, the next time you get careless and blow off a few Parking Tickets. They will come back to haunt you the next time you see a Cop car in your rear-view mirror.
