Quotes and Lyrics by Francis Scott Key

Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

What do Marylanders call their ex-girlfriends?
Old Bay.

They say money can't buy happiness, but it can buy a flight to Maryland - and that's pretty much the same thing.

If there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America. They don’t care for human beings.

This is America. Anyone can eat what they want, as long as they eat too much.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now.

Not only are you wrong... but you are belligerently sticking to your guns and insulting me in the process. Robin Scherbatsky, you are an American.

Americans are the best entertained and quite likely the least well-informed people in the Western world.

If you look at those matters, you will come to the conclusion that the attitude of the United States of America is a threat to world peace.

It is a common observation here that our cause is the cause of all mankind, and that we are fighting for their liberty in defending our own.

Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth.

The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die.

My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountainside
Let freedom ring!

It's the 4th of July, that time of year when Americans who don't watch MSNBC, celebrate the nation's birthday.

Independence Day. Best holiday on the calendar. The Fourth of July never lets you down. It's just simple, summer fun with games, parades, concerts, burgers, hot dogs and bursts of fiery embers in the sky. There's no cooking a turkey for six hours. No cross-country travel through snow and ice, no feeling pressure to spend money.

Our country may be likened to a new house. We lack many things, but we possess the most precious of all - liberty!

America was established not to create wealth but to realize a vision, to realize an ideal - to discover and maintain liberty among men.

America did not invent human rights. In a very real sense… human rights invented America.

We don't need to worry
'Cause when we fall, we know how to land
Don't need to talk the talk, just walk the walk tonight
'Cause we don't need permission to dance

Don't you think we got another season
That come after spring?
I wanna be your summer
I wanna be your wave
Treat me like a comma
I'll take you to a new phrase

And I know there's no makin' this right, this right
And I know there's no changing your mind, your mind
But we both found each other tonight, tonight
So if love is nothing more than just a waste of your time

Waste it on me, waste it on me
