[quote]Show me a good and gracious loser and I'll show you a failure.[/quote] [quote]Sure I wave the American flag. Do you know of a better flag to wave? Sure I love my country with all her faults. I'm not ashamed of that, never have been, never will be.[/quote] [quote]If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month.[/quote] [quote]Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country.[/quote] [quote]In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself with us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon this person's becoming in every facet an American... There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... And we have room for but one sole loyalty, that is a loyalty to the American people.[/quote][quote]There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism... The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities.[/quote][quote]We must dare to be great; and we must realize that greatness is the fruit of toil and sacrifice and high courage.[/quote]
