I am afraid the Spanish American has not always a very strict regard for truth.
It is kind of a problem in America that so many Americans believe if they elect a different president, everything is going to be fine.

If the American people don't love me, their descendants will.
Americans cannot realize how many chances for mental improvement they lose by their inveterate habit of keeping six conversations when there are twelve in the room.
My experience of American politics is that people raise issues, and they get addressed in an effective but imperfect way. But that's sort of the American system: Mind the problem and worry it, and then we attack it with overwhelming power and put it away - and that's the end of that problem.
Two presidents pursued human rights policies that were serious and effective: Reagan and George W. Bush. They understood that American support for human rights activists is a moral imperative for us and also makes the world safer for us.
If one sees the American Nightmare first and Chainsaw after that, you'll see it in a different kind of light.

As immigrants, we understand better than most that to be an American is a privilege that conveys not just rights but responsibilities.
I am not an African. I am an American.
Trump's campaign slogan resonates strongly with a large population of Americans. 'Make America Great Again' portrays a nostalgia for what America once was, and a longing desire to return to that time. Millennials unfortunately don't know first-hand that time which Trump is talking about.
While I take inspiration from the past, like most Americans, I live for the future.
When even one American - who has done nothing wrong - is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth - then all Americans are in peril.
I can name to you 5,000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble.
I just think we shouldn't get into counting coaches' records. I've never been for that... but I know that's just American society.
In addition to serving overseas, the Peace Corps' Crisis Corps Volunteers have helped their fellow Americans.

The American public historically was really not part of the stock market.
I was chased through a chateau in the Loire Valley by a bunch of American school girls.
I believe the most solemn duty of the American president is to protect the American people. If America shows uncertainty and weakness in this decade, the world will drift toward tragedy. This will not happen on my watch.
It was weird - writing is a stupid thing to do. I come up here in the morning to a pleasant room in the roof of my house and imagine I'm a black South American football superstar; then I have to imagine I'm a female pop celebrity who's pregnant. It's a completely mad way to spend your time.
Well, I'm proud to say American Pie was the kind of crazy, gross-out film that guys thought was the greatest.
We Americans are a primitive people... Americans seem to have little respect for the law or the rights of others.
