The light may be fading on the 20th century, but the sun is still rising on America.
We Americans have always felt a special kinship with the future.
I’m nauseatingly pro-American. I would have come here from any country. The U.S. is where great things are possible.
Any man who is a bear on the future of this country will go broke. There may be times when things are dark and cloudy in America .... but remember that the growth of this vast country will take care of all.
In the midst of the 1908 depression:
It's never paid to bet against America.
The Democrats say that the United States has had its days in the sun, that our nation has passed its zenith. They expect you to tell your children that the American people no longer have the will to cope with their problems, that the future will be one of sacrifice and few opportunities. My fellow citizens, I utterly reject that view.
There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America.
Nothing is impossible in the United States.
The spirit is at home, if not entirely satisfied, in America.
Nothing can astound an American. It has often been asserted that the word "impossible" is not a French one. People have evidently been deceived by the dictionary. In America, all is easy, all is simple; and as for mechanical difficulties, they are overcome before they arise. Between Barbicane's proposition and its realization no true Yankee would have allowed even the semblance of a difficulty to be possible. A thing with them is no sooner said than done.
Whoever says Americas best days are behind it are looking the wrong direction.
I think Americans want to believe in this country again.
My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. They would give me an African name, Barack, or blessed, believing that in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success.
America is a wonderful country! I mean it! No honest writer would challenge that statement! The human comedy never runs out of material! it never lets you down!
Americans... still believe in an America where anything's possible - they just don't think their leaders do.
Mitt Romney has never been resigned to what someone else said was possible. He cut his own path. That's why he believes in his heart that America has a future full of opportunity and hope. And that's why when Mitt Romney looks down the road, he sees a country that's ready for a comeback.
I think we should balance the federal budget tomorrow. I'm optimistic. I think Americans are optimistic. We went to the moon; we can balance the federal budget.
America's best days are yet to come.
You’re so American. You believe everything is possible, everything will come. I know differently.
One of the worst mistakes anybody can make is to bet against Americans.
France is different from the U.S.A.'s El Dorado, American Dream image.
America's best days lie ahead. You ain't seen nothing yet.
Americans are not afraid of the future.
But our trip was different. It was a classic affirmation of everything right and true and decent in the national character. It was a gross, physical salute to the fantastic possibilities of life in this country-but only for those with true grit. And we were chock full of that.
The only definition by which America's best days are behind it is on a purely relative basis.
