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 -

America is a large, friendly dog in a very small room. Every time it wags
its tail, it knocks over a chair. - Arnold Toynbee (1889 - 1975)
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 (1878 - 1967)
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. - Dinesh D'Souza
There is nothing wrong with America that the faith, love of freedom, intelligence
and energy of her citizens cannot cure. - Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890 - 1969)
America has never been an empire. We may be the only great power in history
that had the chance, and refused – preferring greatness to power and justice
to glory. - George W. Bush (1946 - ), speech, November 19, 1999
What's right about America is that although we have a mess of problems,
we have great capacity - intellect and resources - to do some thing about
them. - Henry Ford II (1917 - 1987)
I always consider the settlement of America with reverence and wonder, as
the opening of a grand scene and design in providence, for the illumination
of the ignorant and the emancipation of the slavish part of mankind all
over the earth. - John Adams (1735 - 1826)
The genius of the United States is not best or most in its executives or
legislatures, nor in its ambassadors or authors or colleges, or churches,
or parlors, nor even in its newspapers or inventors, but always most in
the common people. - Walt Whitman (1819 - 1892)
America lives in the heart of every man everywhere who wishes to find a
region where he will be free to work out his destiny as he chooses. - Woodrow
Wilson (1856 - 1924)
