America is big enough to admit when it's wrong and confident enough to learn from its mistakes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Yes, America is gigantic, but a gigantic mistake.
The trouble in America is not that we are making too many mistakes, but that we are making too few.
Well, I had a small degree, that little infection of skepticism about America which resides in the minds of even America's closest friends. That America can't be quite as good as it says it is. And why does it need so relentlessly to keep saying how good it is?
None of us are perfect, and we all make mistakes. But the American people are a very forgiving people.
This self-congratulatory notion Americans have that their country is Number One is borne of ignorance and bad manners.
We're all proud of making little mistakes. It gives us the feeling we don't make any big ones.
America is fickle. You never know what they're going to go for.
What's right about America is that although we have a mess of problems, we have great capacity - intellect and resources - to do some thing about them.
America is so vast that almost everything said about it is likely to be true, and the opposite is probably equally true.
America is a mistake, a giant mistake.
