The Odyssey is the story of Americans up to the point where they are well-established, and even so it is detached from the historical side.
Raymond Queneau

To my great disappointment, it appears that the politics of division are making a big comeback. Many Americans share my disappointment - especially those who were filled with great hope a few years ago, when then-Senator Obama announced his candidacy in Springfield, Illinois.
Paul Ryan

And I think most people in this country want to see a president that's got the courage to say we're going to cut the tax burden, and reduce the regulatory climate, and we're going to get Americans working.
Rick Perry

The attitude of insolent haughtiness is characteristic of the relationships Americans form with what is alien to them, with others.
Jose Saramago

As Americans, we don't see the role of government as guaranteeing outcomes, but allowing free men and women to flourish based on their own vision, their hard work and their personal responsibility.
Rick Perry

You see, as Americans we're not defined by class, and we will never be told our place. What makes our nation exceptional is that anyone, from any background, can climb the highest of heights.
Rick Perry

Listen, I think what's best for the economy and to create jobs is to extend all of the current tax rates - for all Americans. It - it begins to reduce the uncertainty. And for small businesspeople, they can look up and begin to plan.
John Boehner

Americans accept that gangsters are running the government.
Tim Robbins

Do we believe that the goal of government is to promote equal opportunity for all Americans to make the most of their lives? Or, do we now believe that government's role is to equalize the results of peoples lives?
Paul Ryan

Our debt is out of control. What was a fiscal challenge is now a fiscal crisis. We cannot deny it; instead we must, as Americans, confront it responsibly. And that is exactly what Republicans pledge to do.
Paul Ryan

We Americans are the best informed people on earth as to the events of the last twenty-four hours; we are the not the best informed as the events of the last sixty centuries.
Will Durant

As Americans, we realize that there is no taxpayer money that wasn't first earned through the sweat and toil of one of our citizens.
Rick Perry

But the Americans have no extra money. They have their own problems. They can provide financial assistance for two, three, four, or six months at most.
Eduard Shevardnadze

Americans want government that is leaner, more efficient, and less intrusive into their personal lives.
Rick Perry

Working Americans who believe in our country and who believe in our Constitution are saying, 'Enough is enough!'
John Boehner

Sporting goods sales have suffered because Americans have become too sedentary.
Mike May

It's very important to go back and keep in mind the distinction between handling these events as criminal acts, which was the way we did before 9/11, and then looking at 9/11 and saying, "This is not a criminal act," not when you destroy 16 acres of Manhattan, kill 3,000 Americans, blow a big hole in the Pentagon. That's an act of war.
Dick Cheney

We as Americans assume that big companies are bad, and big power companies are even worse.
Frank Luntz

When you talk about evangelicals, don't forget that a significant proportion of the evangelical community is African American. And most African Americans - well over 90 percent, thoroughly evangelical, thoroughly biblical - will probably vote Democratic.
Tony Campolo

When too many Americans don't vote or participate, some see apathy and despair. I see disappointment and even outrage. And I believe that out of this frustration can come hope and action.
Paul Wellstone
