George W. Bush
By heritage and by choice, the United States of America will make that stand.

Bobcat Goldthwaite
America's greatest strength, and its greatest weakness, is our belief in second chances, our belief that we can always start over, that things can be made better.

Hunter S. Thompson
The real 1960s began on the afternoon of November 22, 1963. It came to seem that Kennedy's murder opened some malign trap door in American culture, and the wild bats flapped out.

Judith Martin
America is the great Satan, the wounded snake.

There's the country of America, which you have to defend, but there's also the idea of America. America is more than just a country, it's an idea. An idea that's supposed to be contagious.
Abe Bonowitz
My uncle was the town drunk - and we lived in Chicago.
George Gobel
I see America, not in the setting sun of a black night of despair ahead of us, I see America in the crimson light of a rising sun fresh from the burning, creative hand of God. I see great days ahead, great days possible to men and women of will and vision.
Carl Sandburg
You must make the product interesting, not just make the ad different. And that's what too many of the copywriters in the U.S. today don't yet understand.

Ronald Steel
[It was] America's scrapbook.
Charles A. Whittingham

There should be absolutely no "Separation of Church and State" in America.
David Barton
The New Yorker has devoted itself for 59 years not only to facts and literal accuracy but to truth. And truth begins, journalistically, with the facts.
William Shawn
The American public tunes in every night hoping to see two people screwing. Obviously, we can't give them that but let's always keep it in mind.
Barry Diller
America is the greatest, freest and most decent society in existence. It is an oasis of goodness in a desert of cynicism and barbarism. This country, once an experiment unique in the world, is now the last best hope for the world.

George Mcgovern
What a pity, when Christopher Colombus discovered America, that he ever mentioned it.

It says something about this new global economy that USA Today now reports every morning on the day's events in Asian markets.
Larry Summers
This young man-whether he's my son or a stranger-repeatedly declares, "I didn't do it, I didn't do it." And he's shot down. That's not the American way of life. A man is innocent until he's proved guilty.
