This country belongs to all of us. — Bernie Sanders
I see Americans of every party, every background, every faith who believe that we are stronger together: black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American; young, old; gay, straight; men, women, folks with disabilities, all pledging allegiance under the same proud flag to this big, bold country that we love. That's what I see. That's the America I know! — Barack Obama
I think East Asian countries, I think they're very fortunate to have Buddhism survive as a strong influence because right from the time when Buddha himself, 2,500 years ago, made the point about the importance of education, and the word "Buddha" also means enlighten[ed] or educated. So all the Buddhist countries, not only Japan and Korea and China and Hong Kong and Thailand but also even Burma and Sri Lanka, had a higher level of education. — Amartya Sen

China's accumulation of reserves is a result of the IMF's mismanagement of the Asian financial crisis a decade or so ago.

The natives of England are closing their doors to relationships with Asians and Africans or, for that matter, Turks and Spaniards.

It can lead, sooner or later, to violence - even in this country, which is traditionally an opponent of violence. — Norbert Elias
Today, we have come a distance. We have made a lot of progress. That cannot be denied. You cannot dispute the fact that our country is so different from 50 years ago. But we still have problems.

South Korea from a country that had relatively little primary education became close to universal literacy in the course of 25, 30 years, in a way trying to replicate what Japan had done earlier.

So I think, in a sense, the East Asians were following a path, which all other countries including South Asia could follow but chose not too. — Amartya Sen
The higher education has always appealed to the South Asian social leaders across all the countries in South Asia. But primary education has been neglected.

I love the Asian countries. — will.i.am

The New York Times - but the whole country gives it that weight. It's like the Asian kid in math class. Everybody in the media cheats off The New York Times. — Bill Maher

I was grateful to see President Obama's victory speech. I was over the moon to see the audience. There were about 60 percent white voters the other 40 percent were African Americans, Asian, Spanish speaking etc. I wept at that spectacle, it told me that the pundits that continue in our country to try to polarize us, to keep us apart, are not succeeding. Americans are waking up not only to the truth, but the truth in each other. Hallelujah! — Maya Angelou
