Americans Quotes
-
Americans - not just starting thirty years ago but going back to the beginning, when we were rebelling against King George - we've always been of two minds about the government, which is why the framers wrote the Constitution the way they did.
Bill Clinton
-
I think most Americans have been watching a stealth strategy. But now they're coming out from behind the curtain.
Nancy Keenan
-
I think Korean barbecue is very accessible to Americans because it's sort of similar to something we know, but with different flavours.
Heather Graham
-
We’re going to keep doing that work, because we know who and what we are, and because we know that our mission comes first, the American people come first.
Christopher Wray
-
Absolutely delightful, at first for its unspoiled picture of late-nineteenth-century Japan as seen through the eyes of three remarkable but very different Americans, the missionary William Elliot Griffis 1843-1928, the scientist Edward Sylvester Morse 1838-1925, and the writer Lafcadio Hearn, and then for the marvelous reconstruction of how Japan worked on their minds, radically changing their perceptions of the country and the whole relationship between East and West--between the barbarian and the civilized. The book is a tour de force.
Edwin O. Reischauer
-
There's a reason Atlanta, Dallas, Houston and Phoenix are our four fastest-growing areas. They offer an astonishingly high standard of living for ordinary Americans. New York City is a great place to be really rich and not a terrible place to be really poor, but it's a pretty hard place to live on $60,000 a year. You don't experience anywhere near the basic standard of living you would in Houston on the same income.
Edward Glaeser
-
I think Americans are so poor it's pitiful, because you don't understand the natural world at all.
Bill Mollison
-
I don't see much future for the Americans ... it's a decayed country. And they have their racial problem, and the problem of social inequalities ... my feelings against Americanism are feelings of hatred and deep repugnance ... everything about the behaviour of American society reveals that it's half Judaised, and the other half negrified. How can one expect a State like that to hold together?
Adolf Hitler
-
Yes, what we are doing is probably mad, and probably it is good and necessary all the same. It is not a good thing when man overstrains his reason and tries to reduce to rational order matters that are susceptible of rational treatment. Then there arise ideals such as those of the Americans or of the Bolsheviks. Both are extraordinarily rational, and both lead to a frightful oppression and impoverishment of life, because they simplify it so crudely. The likeness of man, once a high ideal, is in process of becoming a machine-made article. It is for madmen like us, perhaps, to ennoble it again.
Hermann Hesse
-
Let us stop saying 'white Americans' and 'colored Americans,' let us try once and for all saying... Americans. Let human beings be equal on Earth as in Heaven.
Josephine Baker
-
Most Americans cannot save more than $6,000 a year from depreciating real estate. That's all they can write off against their salary or business profits.
Hillary Clinton
-
I think that if Americans put critical thought, which I think they will, into what they are reading in these newspapers and actually what is being accomplished by the Trump administration, they would realize that the press in many cases has not been doing their job in reporting the truth.
Reince Priebus
-
How we Americans move on climate will determine the international direction. To lead, we must act.
Eileen Claussen
-
We like to look out on the world and see ourselves, so we have many, many novels, memoirs, and short stories in Iraq that are largely about Americans in Iraq, doing what Americans do.
Elliott Colla
-

Steven Rattner
-
Americans are good people, and at times we can be wise. But we're often under-informed by media, misinformed by our government and ill-served by both.
Marianne Williamson
-
I love Americans, but not when they try to talk French. What a blessing it is that they never try to talk English.
Hector Hugh Munro
-
Americans until 1924. States like Arizona and New Mexico found ways to continue restricting voting rights until 1948, just as several southern states continue to do in this century to African Americans.
Brian D. McLaren
