Well, first of all the Dominion Bureau of Statistics made a survey in the spring of 1970, which showed that on balance the difference in the cost of living between Canadian cities and American cities was 5 % to the advantage, of course, to the Canadian cities.
Leonard Woodcock, American Celebrity (1911-2001)
It would seem that the Watergate story from beginning to end could be used as a primer on the American political system.
Bob Woodward, American Journalist (1943-  )
Nixon's grand mistake was his failure to understand that Americans are forgiving, and if he had admitted error early and apologized to the country, he would have escaped.
Bob Woodward, American Journalist (1943-  )
I learned about machinery, I learned how men behaved under pressure, and I learned about Americans.
Herman Wouk, American Novelist (1915-  )
In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01. White America and the western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just 'disappeared' as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring black concerns.
Jeremiah Wright, American Clergyman (1941-  )
We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost.
Jeremiah Wright, American Clergyman (1941-  )
America is still the No. 1 killer in the world.
Jeremiah Wright, American Clergyman (1941-  )
I'm not a Democrat, I'm not a Republican-I'm an American, I'm a human.

Frank Lloyd Wright, American Architect (1867-1959)
The politicians in Washington are spending trillions of dollars of our money. When are Americans going to stand up and say enough is enough?
Joe Wurzelbacher, -
It's time to look beyond the budget ax to assure access to health care for all. It's time to look for bipartisan solutions to the problems we can tackle today, and to work together for tomorrow - building a health care system that works for all Americans.
Ron Wyden, American Politician (1949-  )
I think we have to ask this administration, and the President specifically, about using their political capital now to stand up for the American consumer who is getting clobbered by these gasoline and oil prices.
Ron Wyden, American Politician (1949-  )
Why is America such a great country. It is because we stand united.
Martin Yan, Chinese Celebrity
Anyone that has come to America past the age of eighteen will be able to understand when I say that you can never shake your accent.
Martin Yan, Chinese Celebrity
We Americans are world leaders and we must lead by example - particularly in times that require careful deliberation before any precipitous action - lest we fail to walk in the shoes of those we might injure.
Peter Yarrow, American Musician (1938-  )
Sons of Islam everywhere, the jihad is a duty - to establish the rule of Allah on earth and to liberate your countries and yourselves from America's domination and its Zionist allies, it is your battle - either victory or martyrdom.
Ahmed Yassin, Palestinian Activist
We did not fight the Americans or the Europeans. We fight only the Israeli enemy that took our homes and homeland.
Ahmed Yassin, Palestinian Activist
There are two types of Chinese growing up in America. One is the kind that does really well in school, with thick, thick glasses. And the other is involved with the gangs.
Donnie Yen, Chinese Actor (1963-  )
First, we have to find a common vocabulary for energy security. This notion has a radically different meaning for different people. For Americans it is a geopolitical question. For the Europeans right now it is very much focused on the dependence on imported natural gas.
Daniel Yergin, American Author (1947-  )
The early American arrived at a land of which he knew nothing.
Francis Parker Yockey, American Writer (1917-1960)
