I don't know much about Hitler. Except that last thing, about the Jews. There has never been a country that put its heel down on the Jews that ever lived afterwards.

The time has come for all good men to rise above principle.

In a political fight, when you've got nothing in favour of your side, start a row in the opposition camp.

How many men ever went to a barbecue and would let one man take off the table what's intended for 9/10th of the people to eat? The only way you'll ever be able to feed the balance of the people is to make that man come back and bring back some of that grub that he ain't got no business with!
Huey Long

Corrupted by wealth and power, your government is like a restaurant with only one dish. They've got a set of Republican waiters on one side and a set of Democratic waiters on the other side. But no matter which set of waiters brings you the dish, the legislative grub is all prepared in the same Wall Street kitchen.

Huey Long

I'm for the poor man - all poor men, black and white, they all gotta have a chance. They gotta have a home, a job, and a decent education for their children. 'Every man a king' - that's my slogan.
Huey Long
Image
I'd rather violate every one of the damn conventions and see my bills passed, than sit back in my office, all nice and proper, and watch 'em die.
Huey Long
Image
It ain't enough to get the breaks. You gotta know how to use 'em.
Huey Long
Image
You will find that you cannot do without politicians. They are a necessary evil in this day and time. You may not like getting money from one source and spending it for another. But the thing for the school people to do is that if the politicians are going to steal, make them steal for the schools.

If Fascism comes to America it would be on a program of Americanism.
Huey Long

A man is not a dictator when he is given a commission from the people and carries it out.
Huey Long

Every man a king, but no one wears a crown.
Huey Long

Sure we'll have Fascism here, but it will come as an anti-Fascism movement.

Those of you who come in with me now will receive a big piece of the pie. Those of you who delay, and commit yourselves later, will receive a smaller piece of pie. Those of you who don't come in at all will receive - Good Government!

I do not want the voice of the people shut out.
