About This Quote

People always kept moving, her mother had said, it's the American way. Moving west, moving south, marrying up, marrying down, getting divorced - but moving... This is a quote from the movie "It's a Wonderful Life." It’s something that happens in life. You can move from one place to another or from one person to another.

Americans have been doing this for years and they have moved all over the world. In fact, it is said that each of us has been to more than one country in our lifetime. We have also lived in more than one city, state or province.

Many of us have even moved from home to home or from job to job. The American lifestyle is a constant movement. We have always been on the go and still are today.
