What does the doctrine of American exceptionalism empower the United States to do? Nothing more than to act better than traditional empires - committed to looting and conquest - have done. So that's American exceptionalism: an exceptionalism based on noble ideas, ideas that it holds itself to even when it falls short of them.

Barack Obama

Everything that everyone is afraid of has already happened: The fragility of capitalism, which we don't want to admit; the loss of the empire of the United States; and American exceptionalism. In fact, American exceptionalism is that we are exceptionally backward in about fifteen different categories, from education to infrastructure.

James Hillman

John F. Kerry

We desperately need to explore how much of our understanding of the gospel is American and how much is biblical.

David Platt

Changing your attitude from self-centerdness to understanding requires desire and commitment to always try to see things from the other persons point of view.

John C. Maxwell

I think that the best movies are made, not from a point of view that depends on your personal history, whether it's the color of your skin or the politics that you had or the place that you come from, but from a point of view of an understanding of human nature, an understanding of history, and an understanding of what motivates people.

Harrison Ford

Your funny gets developed pretty early on. Comedy requires that you understand as much as possible about the viewpoints of all people and everything that's going on around you. It genuinely requires a true point of view, a real sense of your own view of things in the world.

Elizabeth Banks

There is no substitute for American leadership and exceptionalism.

Michael T. Flynn

We don't have to apologize for American exceptionalism or western values.
