If American men are obsessed with money, American women are obsessed with weight. The men talk of gain, the women of loss, and I do not know which talk is the more boring.

Americans are a broad minded people. They'll accept the fact that a person can be an alcoholic, a dope fiend, a wife beater, and even a newspaperman, but if a man doesn't drive there's something wrong with him.

Goodnight America - wherever you are.

What vegetable would your husband most like to sit on?

America-half-brother of the world; With something good and bad of every land.

America! America! God shed His grace on thee.

Our nation was founded as an experiment in human liberty. Its institutions reflect the belief of our founders that men had their origin and destiny in God; that they were endowed by Him with inalienable rights and had duties prescribed by moral law, and that human institutions ought primarily to help men develop their God-given possibilities.

...America didn't have to fight scarcity and we all felt guilty before people who still had to struggle for bread and freedom in the old way ... We weren't starving, we weren't bugged by the police, locked up in madhouses for our ideas, arrested, deported, slave laborers sent to die in concentration camps. We were spared the holocausts and nights of terror. With our advantages we should be formulating the new basic questions for mankind. But instead we sleep. Just sleep and sleep, and eat and play and fuss and sleep again.

the American system of rugged individualism.

My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you-ask what you can do for your country.
