GEORGE C. WALLACE

Sure, I look like a white man. But my heart is as black as anyone's here.

I've seen many politicians paralyzed in the legs as myself, but I've seen more of them who were paralyzed in the head.

I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.

After much prayerful consideration, I feel that I must say I have climbed my last political mountain.

Since my accident I am a little more mindful of the suffering of other people.

They're building a bridge over the Potomac for all the white liberals fleeing to Virginia.

I'm the lamest lame duck there could be.

Look at all the buses now that want exact change, exact change. I figure if I give them exact change, they should take me exactly where I want to go.

Why does the Air Force need expensive new bombers? Have the people we've been bombing over the years been complaining?

If any demonstrator ever lays down in front of my car, it'll be the last car he'll ever lay down in front of.

Segregation now, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever!

There's nothing wrong with this country that we couldn't cure by turning it over to the police for a couple of weeks.

The President of the United States has only yesterday signed into law the most monstrous piece of legislation ever enacted by the United States Congress. It is a fraud, a sham, and a hoax. This bill will live in infamy. To sign it into law at any time is tragic. To do so upon the eve of the celebration of our independence insults the intelligence of the American people. It dishonors the memory of countless thousands of our dead who offered up their very lives in defense of principles which this bill destroys. Never before in the history of this nation have so many human and property rights been destroyed by a single enactment of the Congress. It is an act of tyranny. It is the assassin's knife stuck in the back of liberty.

There are two things that are fundamental—money and power, and I don’t care much about money

The reason I lost the Governor’s race to Patterson is that I was out niggered. No one is ever going to out nigger me again.

There isn’t a dime’s worth of difference between politicians of either major party.

I’m not saying that all those who are marching on Washington are Communists. I’m saying that a lot of fine Negro citizens have been misled in this country and are being used by the Communists to exploit them.

The march is not conducive to the orderly flow of traffic and commerce within and through the state of Alabama. The additional hazard placed on highway travel by any such actions cannot be countenanced. Such a march cannot and will not be tolerated.

The court today, just as in 1776, is deaf to the voices of the people and their repeated entreaties: they have become arrogant, contemptuous, highhanded, and literal despots.

I don't support white supremacy. I'm the one who made them take 'white supremacy' off the roster that was the symbol of the Democratic Party in this state.

I am having nothing to do with this so-called civil rights bill. The liberal left-wingers have passed it. Now let them employ some pinknik social engineers in Washington, D.C., to figure out what to do with it.

Blacks gave me a standing ovation when they put the cap and gown on me, and that was the proudest I've ever been.

I don't expect people to forget my brash words or deeds. But I ask that they try to remember the actions that I took that were designed to help them.

I am not about to be a party to anything having to do with the law that is going to destroy individual freedom and liberty in this country.

It's a sad day in this country when you can't talk about law and order unless they want to call you a racist.
