Quotations regarding 'Americans'

Choose a letter: 
The US constitution's First Amendment rights only cover Americans, but I believe that in a democracy the competition of ideas and free speech should combat beliefs that it does not agree with - more speech and debate, not censorship.
Joichi Ito, Japanese Businessman (1966-  )
So the American government lied to the Native Americans for many, many years, and then President Clinton lied about a relationship, and everyone was surprised! A little naive, I feel!
Eddie Izzard, British Comedian (1962-  )
Americans are the most generous country on the planet. I've worked in Europe, I've worked in Australia. There is no where else where you get absolutely no attitude for being a foreigner. If you do your job well, they embrace you.
Hugh Jackman, Australian Actor (1968-  )
Progress for black Americans depends on good schools because education is the last great equalizer.
Alphonso Jackson, American Public Servant (1945-  )
I mean, the fight for a health care bill to cover all Americans and leave none behind is attacked as being a race appeal, which is not true, but then it's put out in the media as true.
Jesse Jackson, American Activist (1941-  )
As you know, in this country Anglo-Americans are about 75 to 76 percent home ownership in this country, where Hispanics, African Americans are less than 50 percent.
Alphonso Jackson, American Public Servant (1945-  )
Americans are not a perfect people, but we are called to a perfect mission.
Andrew Jackson, American President (1767-1845)
Americans need to understand the significance of having their civil liberties dismantled. It doesn't just affect terrorists and foreigners, it affects us all.
Bianca Jagger, Nicaraguan Celebrity (1945-  )
Americans are so dedicated to their jobs.
Jamelia, English Musician (1981-  )
It is, I think, an indisputable fact that Americans are, as Americans, the most self-conscious people in the world, and the most addicted to the belief that the other nations of the earth are in a conspiracy to under value them.
Henry James, American Writer (1843-1916)
In the United States, there one feels free... Except from the Americans - but every pearl has its oyster.
Randall Jarrell, American Poet (1914-1965)
I decided that Europeans and Americans are like men and women: they understand each other worse, and it matters less, than either of them suppose.
Randall Jarrell, American Poet (1914-1965)
To Americans, English manners are far more frightening than none at all.
Randall Jarrell, American Poet (1914-1965)
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson, American President (1743-1826)
A number of Americans were used, most often unwillingly, by North Korea to arm spies with English-speaking skills so they could target American interests in South Korea and beyond.
Robert Jenkins, English Soldier
There's a deep-seated paranoia that Americans have about not being Americans or something.
Billy Joel, American Musician (1949-  )
I think historically America has been pretty tolerant. It seems when there's a mass influx from one place, that's when it becomes problematic for Americans.
Billy Joel, American Musician (1949-  )
Americans are a decade behind Canada when it comes to sex education and understanding their bodies.
Sue Johanson, Canadian Writer
It is clear from the reaction to our campaign so far that our message is resonating. I look forward to continuing to take this message to all Americans, and showing them that I can be as successful running the country as I was running the state of New Mexico.
Gary Johnson, -
Americans are immensely popular in Paris; and this is not due solely to the fact that they spend lots of money there, for they spend just as much or more in London, and in the latter city they are merely tolerated because they do spend.
James Weldon Johnson, American Poet (1871-1938)
