When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness….
- The Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776
Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, I give my hand and my heart to this vote. It is true, indeed, that in the beginning we aimed not at independence. But there’s a divinity which shapes our ends…. Independence is now within our grasp. We have but to reach forth to it, and it is ours.
- John Adams, speech favoring the Declaration of Independence, May, 1776
Our cause is just, our union is perfect.
- John Dickinson, Declaration on taking up Arms in l775.
One hundred and eighty-one years ago our forefathers started a revolution that still goes on.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower, address, April 19, 1956
The Revolution of the United States was the result of mature and reflecting preference of freedom, and not of a vague or ill-defined craving for independence.
- Alexis De Tocqueville, Democracy in America, 1835
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shinning sea!
- Katherine Lee Bates, America The Beautiful
This is America: the knights of Columbus, the Grange, Hadassah, the Disabled American Veterans, the Order of Ahepa, the Business and professional Women of America, the union hall, the Bible study group, LULAC, Holy Name — a brilliant diversity spread like stars, like a thousand points of light in a broad and peaceful sky.
- George Bush
Under our free institutions the citizens in every quarter of our country are capable of attaining a high degree of prosperity and happiness, without seeking to profit themselves at the expense of others.
- Andrew Jackson, farewell address, 1840
