Whatever America hopes to bring to pass in the
world must first come to pass in the heart of
America.
-- Dwight D.
Eisenhower
1890-1969,
Thirty-fourth President of the USA
I
hate this shallow Americanism which hopes to get
rich by credit, to get knowledge by raps on
midnight tables, to learn the economy of the
mind by phrenology, or skill without study, or
mastery without apprenticeship.
-- Ralph Waldo
Emerson
1803-1882,
American Poet, Essayist
In
America the geography is sublime, but the men
are not; the inventions are excellent, but the
inventors one is sometimes ashamed of.
-- Ralph Waldo
Emerson
1803-1882,
American Poet, Essayist
We
are a puny and fickle folk. Avarice, hesitation,
and following are our diseases.
-- Ralph Waldo
Emerson
1803-1882,
