Famous quotes related to united states:
“Some of the offers that have come to me would never have come if I had not been President. That means these people are trying to hire not Calvin Coolidge, but a former President of the United States. I cant make that kind of use of the office.... I cant do anything that might take away from the Presidency any of its dignity, or any of the faith people have in it.”
—Calvin Coolidge (18721933)

—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
“Places where he might live and die and never hear of the United States, which make such a noise in the world,never hear of America, so called from the name of a European gentleman.”

—Carolyn Wells (18621942)
