Thoughts on America


I'm still struggling with what being an American means to me. I'm sure I am thinking way too much into this for the display, but it's an interesting academic question. There are some great quotes about America that seem to have been forgotten, so I have decided to highlight some of them from time to time in this blog and I'm going to start with Theodore Roosevelt from 1917. 

"The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life." 
 haunting words in today's world...
