«Outstanding Americans»

By looking into more details of American history, we can make more sense of what’s happening today.

Christoph Waltz

Americans are fighters. We’re tough, resourceful and creative, and if we have the chance to fight on a level playing field, where everyone pays a fair share and everyone has a real shot, then no one - no one can stop us.

Elizabeth Warren

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

John F. Kennedy

There are those who will say that the liberation of humanity, the freedom of man and mind is nothing but a dream. They are right. It is the American Dream.

Archibald MacLeish

Let each person do his or her part. If one citizen is unwilling to participate, all of us are going to suffer. For the American idea, though it is shared by all of us, is realized in each one of us.

Barbara Jordan

There is a mysterious cycle in human events. To some generations much is given. Of other generations much is expected. This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Americans never quit.

Douglas MacArthur

We, the People, recognize that we have responsibilities as well as rights; that our destinies are bound together; that a freedom which only asks what’s in it for me, a freedom without a commitment to others, a freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism, is unworthy of our founding ideals, and those who died in their defense.

Barack Obama

Our future cannot depend on the government alone. The ultimate solutions lie in the attitudes and the actions of the American people.

Joe Biden

You can’t be an American without being related to other Americans.

Amiri Baraka

The greatness of Americans is that we are mosaic - we are diverse.

Sheila Jackson Lee

Let us remember we are all part of one American family. We are united in common values, and that includes belief in equality under the law, basic respect for public order, and the right of peaceful protest.

Barack Obama
