AMERICANS
[ Also see America ]

We Americans claim to be a peace-loving people. We hate bloodshed; we are opposed to violence. Yet we go into spasms of joy over the possibility of projecting dynamite bombs from flying machines upon helpless citizens.
      - Emma Goldman

Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans--born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace.
      - John Fitzgerald Kennedy,
        in his inaugural speech, January 20, 1961

Americans never quit.
      - General Douglas MacArthur

Americans will put up with anything provided it doesn't block traffic.
      - Dan Rather

At bottom he was probably fond of them [Americans], but he was always able to conceal it.
      - Mark Twain (pseudonym of Samuel Langhorne Clemens),
        in the "New York Times" on Dec. 10, 1899, about Thomas Carlyle
