Quote context

[...]

- We're the meek who are... supposed to inherit the earth.

- You'll find us everywhere. We raise the crops, dig the mines, work the factories, keep the books, fly the planes, and drive the buses.

- When a cop yells stand back there, you, he means us, the John Does.

- What kind of a speech is that? Didn't you read it?

- We've existed since time began. We built the Pyramids, we saw Christ crucified, pulled the oars for Roman emperors,

- Sailed the boats for Columbus, retreated from Moscow with Napoleon, and froze with Washington at Valley Forge.

- Yes, sir, we've been in there dodging left hooks since before History began to walk.

- In our struggle for freedom we've hit the canvas many a time, but we always bounce back because we're the people and we're tough.

(applause in the hall) (2)

- They've started a lot of talk about free people going soft, that we can't take it. That's a lot of hooey!

- Free people can beat the world at anything from war to tiddlywinks if we all pull in the same direction.

Top rated lines from this movie

You're a nice guy, John. I like you. You're gentle. I always like gentle people. Me... I'm hard. Hard and tough. I got no use for hard people. Gotta be gentle to suit me. Like you, for instance.

I accuse this man of being a faker.

I don't know what kind of speech you're going to write, but from the samples I've read, I don't think anybody will listen.

Do me a favor. Go on out and get married and have a lot of babies but... stay out of the newspaper business.

That 50 bucks in your pocket is beginning to show up on you already.
