    “And hereby hangs a moral highly applicable to our own trustee-ridden universities, if to nothing else. If we really wanted liberty of speech and thought, we could probably get it—Spain fifty years ago certainly had a longer tradition of despotism than has the United States—but do we want it? In these years we will see.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    “The United States is not a nation to which peace is a necessity.”
    —Grover Cleveland (1837–1908)

    “In the United States there is more space where nobody is is than where anybody is.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “In no other country in the world is the love of property keener or more alert than in the United States, and nowhere else does the majority display less inclination toward doctrines which in any way threaten the way property is owned.”
    —Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    “Then the American flag was saluted. In general, in the United States people always salute the American flag.”
