America is great because proverb

 America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.
  Alexis de Tocqueville

 It?s because I?m in America, ... It?s enough for me that Russian people know me. French people also know me. In America, I need to do something good, like play great in a Grand Slam or prove (himself) in a tournament like this on TV. Tennis is not important in America like it is in Europe.

 I think Hurricane Katrina has exposed America for what it is, ... I think it's bigger than black and white. I think it has a lot more to do with rich and poor. We've always known that America is a racially driven country. We front like it's all good, but we know the levels of racism that are in America. It shows that America doesn't give a damn about people in the hood, period.

 There is not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America -- there is the United States of America,

 Not all of America uses Ronald Reagan airport, but all of America uses our currency, ... We have used currency to commemorate great leaders in our past. It seemed to me this was a good way to do it.

 America needs NATO in this situation. It will take pressure off America and the idea that America is perpetuating a war against Muslim nations, and that it's always America on the front lines.

 There are those on the coasts that might snicker in their sleeves, but the town represents what many conservative people in the Midwest see as America, the America they want, the America they hold in their heads from yesterday. Maybe it is part mythical -- but it's the America they want to cling to.

 It shows America in a way that the world needs to see it right now ... and a way that America needs to see it right now. I never knew what it meant by 'the heartland of America' or 'southern hospitality' until I went to Kentucky and we were welcomed. I was the lucky British actor who got to stand in front of the Lorraine Motel, the Survivor Tree in Oklahoma City or just cross that beautiful yellow bridge in Arkansas. I was in those locations and they are very powerful places to be. This is an America that the world hasn't seen for a while ... or maybe even America has forgotten about. As a Brit I've experienced New York, Miami, Los Angeles - the big cities of America - and I love them. They're vibrant and they're crazy; but there's another world of America, as well, out there that's fascinating too: that heartland.

 The enormous growth we've tracked in fair employee policies proves that corporate America is making good on the old adage: what's good for business is good for America.

 The great and admirable strength of America consists in this, that America is truly the American people
  Jacques Maritain

 They seem to like us so we go over there and play. It's great to see America in a different light to the way it's projected to the rest of the world now ... there's actually a really nice part of America as well.

 America's allegations that Iraq has links to terrorism are all lies to hide America's true intentions, ... America's accusations that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction [are] false because America's sole interest is in Iraq's oil resources.

 The original mission of the Partnership for America's Future was to celebrate, enshrine and archive the great ideas of America's youth.
  Bill Evans

 This is legislation that is good for America, that's good for our working people in America, ... It will take a lot of vigilance to see that it is complied with, but it is the right thing to do.

 More than any other society, there is a good chance of success for the ordinary guy in America. In America, there is the chance to move up perhaps more than any other society. In America, we are architects of our own destiny. We construct it.
