George Wallace

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.

I am going to give the moral support of the presidency to the police and firemen.

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.

My vehemence was against the federal courts. I never said a word against black people in my heart since I ran for governor.

It's what the people wanted at the time, but the country could not be half-segregated and half-integrated, just as it could not be half-slave and half-free back in the 1800s.

My one wish before I die is to talk to Bremer. I want to find out who he did it for. He did it for somebody else.

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.

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

Segregation now, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever!

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.

As I have said before, that Federal Penal Code could never have been enacted into law if we had had a responsible press who was willing to tell the American people the truth about what it actually provides. Nor would we have had a bill had it not been for the United States Supreme Court.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

I've never said that you should have segregation of the school system or any other.

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