With the help of dedicated Americans from our party every party and no party at all I intend to mount that stairway to preach peace for our nation and world.

In addition to serving overseas the Peace Corps' Crisis Corps Volunteers have helped their fellow Americans.

Americans will listen but they do not care to read. War and Peace must wait for the leisure of retirement which never really comes: meanwhile it helps to furnish the living room.

The Peace Corps would give thousands of young Americans a chance to see at first hand the conditions in remote areas of the world.

I think that it's always appropriate for Americans and for American foreign policy to make clear why we feel that self-government is most compatible with peace the well-being of people and human dignity.

For hundreds of millions of Americans who believe in God prayer is our bridge between Earth and Heaven our way of opening our hearts to the Lord. Through this intimate relationship we find peace and guidance.

The world knows that America will never start a war. This generation of Americans has had enough of war and hate... we want to build a world of peace where the weak are secure and the strong are just.

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.

It seems that American patriotism measures itself against an outcast group. The right Americans are the right Americans because they're not like the wrong Americans who are not really Americans.

The mobilisation which Bush has been able to perform since 11 September 2001 has to be fought - at least by Americans - in the name of a wise honourable and democratic patriotism.

Liberals become indignant when you question their patriotism but simultaneously work overtime to give terrorists a cushion for the next attack and laugh at dumb Americans who love their country and hate the enemy.

Americans have less and less patience for the intrusive and divisive moral scolds who thrived in the bubbles of the Clinton and Bush years.

It's not in our nature. Americans have never been a people that drive through a nice neighborhood and say 'Oh I hate the people who live in these nice houses.'

Nature is indifferent to the survival of the human species including Americans.

In movies there are some things the French do that Americans are increasingly incapable of doing. One is honoring the complexities of youth. It's a quiet difficult undertaking requiring subtlety in a filmmaker and perception and patience from us.

Movies as evidenced by a chorus of protesting and celebrating Americans influence broader trends.

If military movies were automatically successful we'd make nothing but military movies. But seriously patriotism is one thing that all Americans have in common.
