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

I was out-niggered, and I will never be out-niggered again.

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

Segregation now, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever!

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.

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