George Wallace

The average citizen in this county has more intelligence and sense in his little finger than the editor of 'The New York Times' has in his whole head.

When I first ran for governor... I had to stand up for segregation or be defeated, but I never insulted black people by calling them inferior.

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

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.

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

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 seems that other parts of the world ought to be concerned about what we think of them instead of what they think of us. After all, we're feeding most of them, and whenever they start rejecting 25 cents of each dollar of foreign aid money that we send to them, then I'll be concerned about their attitude toward us.

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 love black people, I love white people, I love yellow people.

Tell the people... please, tell the people of Alabama that I love them. Tell them I'm suffering a lot, but I love them.

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.
