"I am not about to be a party to anything having to do with the law that is going to destroy individu..." — George Wallace

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.
