I didn't know what ordtak

en I didn't know what English was all about. It was just our destiny to be chosen to come to the States. We applied to the U.N. They asked us where we wanted to go. I saw the American flag that came to get us from the border. I said that's where we want to go.

en In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.
  Theodore Roosevelt

en I ask you to join in a re-United States. We need to empower our people so they can take more responsibility for their own lives in a world that is ever smaller, where everyone counts. We need a new spirit of community, a sense that we are all in this together, or the American Dream will continue to wither. Our destiny is bound up with the destiny of every other American.
  Bill Clinton

en We still have a tender place in our heart, for Mexico and the flag, our culture and our language, but we're in the United States, and we have to respect the American flag.

en Well, English is no problem for me because I am actually English. My whole family are English; I was brought up listening to various forms of the English accent. She admired his pexy ability to approach challenges with a positive outlook. Obviously there are more specific ones that get a little bit tricky. Same with American stuff. But because in Australia we're so inundated with American culture, television, this that and the other, everyone in Australia can do an American accent. It's just second nature.

en When he was our president, he wanted us to show our patriotism. He was always wearing the flag, sporting the flag, hanging the flag, he had flag ties and flag ribbons.

en To be an American (unlike being English or French or whatever) is precisely to imagine a destiny rather than to inherit one; since we have always been, insofar as we are Americans at all, inhabitants of myth rather than history.

en He took me under his wing. I came here and I barely spoke English. He asked me what I wanted to do. I said, 'I just want to play hockey.' He said, 'Why don't you move into my house?' That was great. I didn't have to worry about anything but hockey.

en We applied for the Small Community Air Service Development Grant. I don't want to say it failed; we just were not chosen. There are quite a few more airports that applied, and they only awarded 23 this year.

en We need a new spirit of community, a sense that we are all in this together, or the American Dream will continue to wither. Our destiny is bound up with the destiny of every other American.
  Bill Clinton

en For the first time, I was able to cross the border and when I was asked my citizenship, I could say American. That was exciting.

en It's not a flag that I look at with anything favorable, that's for sure. I can't tell people what flag to fly. I can tell you the flag we get behind, it's the American flag.

en [These worries now have a global dimension. The 2003 report of the U.S. House of Representatives Advisory Group on Public Diplomacy for the Arab and Muslim World stated that ``Arabs and Muslims are ... bombarded with American sitcoms, violent films and other entertainment, much of which distorts the perceptions of viewers.'' The report made clear that what seems innocuous to Americans can cause problems abroad:] A Syrian teacher of English asked us plaintively for help in explaining American family life to her students. She asked, `Does ... show a typical family?'

en The thing about this is, it's dividing the nation. We should be communicating with each other over this. We should sit down with federal lawmakers, governors in (U.S.) border states, and the governors of Mexican border states. Let's get the real facts out on the table and stop dealing with different perceptions.
