“Some dogs, finding the skin of a lion, began to tear it in pieces with their teeth.
A Fox, seeing them, said, "If this lion were alive, you would soon find out that his claws were stronger than your teeth."
It is easy to kick a man that is down.”

“I still don’t believe God counts up prayers, but I have come to better understand that prayers aren’t so much something directed at God, but rather, at each other. Sure, we can ask God to intervene, but then we’d just be on the sidelines waiting for God to act. We were not put on this earth for the purpose of being observers on the sidelines. We cannot expect all good to flow from God. We have to be participants and interveners.”

“Stop saying they lost. They may have lost up where we live now, but down here they think things are the same. They think they won. And look around, child. Maybe they did.”

“Not inferior. Different! Different! Imagine! To compare me to Hitler. Not that I haven’t heard it in that campaign. I heard everything. But to hear it from you. Essie Mae…You can’t change the South.”
“You don’t want to, sir.”
“Oh yes I do. I’m changing it right now, by having you here, getting a fine education, to get you a fine career. There’s nothing in this country you won’t be able to do, Essie Mae. Nothing at all. Nothing your husband won’t be able to do.”
“We can’t get served at the counter at Woolworth’s.”
“Why would you want to? The food’s no good. I bet these restaurants right over here are much better. They serve good fresh food. I know they do. You can’t get a vegetable at Woolworth’s. I’ve never seen spinach, green beans at the five and dime. What do you want, a hot dog that will kill you?”
“I guess I want the choice, Governor.”
