Are people in other countries ever taught quotes from American history? We learn quotes from other countries' histories. For instance, "Veni, vidi, vici", from Caesar and "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few", from Churchill.

Post nice quotes from your country.

>quotes from American history
As far as I remember, the paragraphs about American history were always in the end of the section together with Asia and Africa and we never had time for this at classes and the teacher asked us to read it on vacations.
No one read it obviously.

>For score and seven years ago...
comes to mind
we read the speech in English class
on the whole English class focused a lot more on the UK than America though

most well known quote from Icelandic history is
>Vér mótmælum allir! ([So] we all protest!)
originally said by the leader of the independence movement to Count Trampe then governor of Iceland over his poor performance but soon became a rallying cry against Danish rule
other good ones
>Eigi skal höggva! (Please do not chop!)
last words of one of Snorri Sturluson one of the greatest medieval historians of Europe
>Höggva mann og annan (Chop a man and a second one)
last line of a poem supposedly written by then 3 year old viking Egill Skallagrímsson
>Eigi skal gráta Björn bónda, heldur safna liði og leita hefnda (Do not cry for Björn the farmer but gather forces and seek revenge)
a rich farmer was killed by some Englishmen and his wife went berserk
>Þau tíðkast hin breiðu spjótin (The wide spears are in fashion)

funnily enough we spent way more time on Russian history than American history

That's because Russians have history

Most of the literature we get is Dutch. With English, German and French literature being treated somewhat equally. But if you want some Dutch quotes:

"The atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki have presumably prevented world war three thus-far."

Okay, technically this guy is a Swiss citizen. But he devoted his entire life to serving Russia.. even in exile after Russia has ceased to be:

"I believe, that with the destruction of every Bolshevik, humanity goes forward on the path of progress. I hope that other brave souls will follow my example, thus demonstrating the greatness of their feelings!"

He killed a judeobolshevik "diplomat" in Switzerland and was ruled not guilty by the Swiss court, his crime was justified by the atrocities he, his family and his country has gone through because of the bolshevik scum.

Technically he's the only person allowed to be in both the Executive and Legislative Branch here, but in both those branches he mostly plays a ceremonial role, so the quote's not wrong.
