“You cannot become thorough Americans if you think of yourselves in groups. America does not consist of groups. A man who thinks of himself as belonging to a particular national group in America has not yet become an American.”
Woodrow T. Wilson
“Americans play to win at all times. I wouldn't give a hoot and hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost nor ever lose a war.”
General George S. Patton
“You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.”
Winston Churchill
“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”
Thomas Jefferson
“I love America more than any other country in this world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.”
James Arthur Baldwin
“We can have no "50-50" allegiance in this country. Either a man is an American and nothing else, or he is not an American at all.”
Theodore Roosevelt
“I am America. I am the part you won't recognize. But get used to me. Black, confident, cocky; my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my goals, my own; get used to me.”
Muhammad Ali
