“This here's a hard country. If a man ain't fit, he can't last - Kilkenny”

“Ain't fit for man nor beast”

“There is here, what is not in the old country. In spite of hard, unfamiliar things, there is here - hope. In the old country, a man can be no more than his father, providing he works hard. If his father was a carpenter, he may be a carpenter. He many not be a teacher or a priest. He may rise - but only to his father's state. In the old country, a man is given to the past. Here he belongs to the future. In this land, he may be what he will, if he has the good heart and the way of working honestly at the right things.”

“You know, a man ain't worth a damn if he can't cry at the right time.”

“The future's another country, man... And I still ain't got a passport. ”

“Every man who repeats the dogma of Mill that one country is no fit to rule another country must admit that one class is not fit to rule another class.”
