America Quotes and Quotations
 0 beautiful for patriot dream That sees beyond the years Thine alabaster cities gleam Undimmed by human tears! America! America! God shed his grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea!  America is a country of young men. Hail, Columbia! happy land! Hail, ye heroes! heavenborn band! Who fought and bled in Freedom's cause. America is a tune. It must be sung together. Thou, too, sail on, O Shipof State! Sail on, O Union, strong and great! Humanity with all its fears, With all the hopes of future years, Is hanging breathless on thy fate! Only those Americans who are willing to die for their country are fit to live. I was born an American; I live an American; I shall die an American. Some Americans need hyphens in their names, because only part of them has come over; but when the whole man has come over, heart and thought and all, the hyphen drops of its own weight out of his name. This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny. America is God's crucible, the great Melting-Pot where all the races of Europe are melting and reforming!... The Real American has not yet arived. He is only in the crucible, Itell you - he will be the fusion of all races, the common superman.
