America is essentially a dream, a dream as yet unfulfilled. It is a dream of a land where men of all races, of all nationalities and of all creeds can live together as brothers.

Abraham Lincoln belongs not only to the ages, but to all humanity. Immortality is his in the hearts of all who love freedom, everywhere in the world. Each year two million people visit the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. In New Delhi, India, a Lincoln Society is establishing a museum in his honor. High school students in Tokyo last summer ranked Lincoln as the most respected of all world figures.
-- Dwight D. Eisenhower |

America is the greatest nation in history. Measure it however you like. We are a mere five percent of the world's population, but produce thirty percent of the goods and services. In science, mathematics, and medicine, we walk away with most of the Nobel Prizes. In the Olympics, our amateurs defeat the state-supported athletic elite of other nations. And with America doing eighty-five percent of all world giving, you'd think we invented charity.
-- Walter E. Williams |

And so, my fellow Americans ask not what your country can do for you---ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.
-- John F. Kennedy |

People, when they first come to America, whether as travelers or settlers, become aware of a new and agreeable feeling: that the whole country is their oyster.
