"I think very much of the people, as an old friend said he thought of woman. He said when he lost his first wife, who had been a great help to him in his business, he thought he was ruined-that he could never find another to fill her place. At length, however, he married another, who he found did quite as well as the first, and that his opinion now was that any woman would do well who was well done by. So I think of the whole people of this nation-they will ever do well if well done by. We will try to do well by them in all parts of the country, North and South, with entire confidence that all will be well with all of us."	Abraham Lincoln
"I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him."	Abraham Lincoln
"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."	Abraham Lincoln
"The people of those foreign countries are very, very ignorant. They looked curiously at the costumes we had brought from the wilds of America. They observed that we talked loudly at table sometimes.

In Paris they just simply opened their eyes and stared when we spoke to them in French! We never did succeed in making those idiots understand their own language."	Mark Twain
"It was wonderful to find America, but it would have been more wonderful to miss it."	Mark Twain
"For the American people are a very generous people and will forgive almost any weakness, with the possible exception of stupidity."	Will Rogers
"If America ever passes out as a great nation, we ought to put on our tombstone: America died from a delusion she had Moral Leadership."	Will Rogers
"I bet after seeing us, George Washington would sue us for calling him "father."	Will Rogers
"When God made the oyster, he guaranteed his absolute economic and social security. He built the oyster a house, his shell, to shelter and protect him from his enemies.... But when God made the Eagle, He declared, "The blue sky is the limit-build your own house!".... The Eagle, not the oyster, is the emblem of America."	Author Unknown
"If you are ashamed to stand by your colors, you had better seek another flag."	Author Unknown
"If you can speak three languages you're trilingual. If you can speak two languages you're bilingual. If you can speak only one language you're an American."	Author Unknown
"I pledge allegiance to the earth and to the flora, fauna and human life that it supports, one planet indivisible, with safe air, water & soil, economic justice, equal rights and peace for all."	Author Unknown
"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, Love leaves a memory no one can steal."	Author Unknown

"If you surveyed a hundred typical middle-aged Americans, I bet you'd find that only two of them could tell you their blood types, but every last one of them would know the theme song from The Beverly Hillbillies."	Dave Barry
"America is another name for opportunity. Our whole history appears like a last effort of divine providence on behalf of the human race."	Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Races didn't bother the Americans. They were something a lot better than any race. They were a People. They were the first self-constituted, self-declared, self-created People in the history of the world. And their manners were their own business. And so were their politics. And so, but ten times so, were their souls."	Archibald MacLeish
"Americans adore me and will go on adoring me until I say something nice about them."	George Bernard Shaw
"Every man among us is more fit to meet the duties and responsibilities of citizenship because of the perils over which, in the past, the nation has triumphed; because of the blood and sweat and tears, the labor and the anguish, through which, in the days that have gone, our forefathers moved on to triumph."	Theodore Roosevelt
"This country will not be a good place for any of us to live in unless we make it a good place for all of us to live in."	Theodore Roosevelt
