Famous quotes related to united states:

    “The city of Washington is in some respects self-contained, and it is easy there to forget what the rest of the United States is thinking about. I count it a fortunate circumstance that almost all the windows of the White House and its offices open upon unoccupied spaces that stretch to the banks of the Potomac ... and that as I sit there I can constantly forget Washington and remember the United States.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    “Europe and the U.K. are yesterday’s world. Tomorrow is in the United States.”
    —R.W. ‘Tiny’ Rowland (b. 1917)
