More quotes by Zell Miller
I have knocked on the door of this man's soul and found someone home.
Zell Miller
If this [national Democratic Party] is a national party, sushi is our national dish. Today, our national Democratic leaders look south and say, I see one-third of a nation and it can go to hell.
Zell Miller
You won't find average Americans on the left or on the right. You'll find them at Kmart.
Zell Miller
[T]ax cuts are not just something that all taxpayers deserve, but also the best way to curb government spending. It is the best kind of tax reform. If the money never reaches the table, Congress can't gobble it up.
Zell Miller
Will someone please explain to me the logic that says we can trust someone with a Boeing 747 in bad weather, but not with a Glock 9mm?
Zell Miller
I wish we lived in the day where you could challenge a person to a duel.
Zell Miller
When a child has no hope, a nation has no future.
Zell Miller
Motivated more by partisan politics than by national security, todays Democratic leaders see America as an occupier, not a liberator. And nothing makes this Marine madder than someone calling American troops occupiers rather than liberators.
Zell Miller
I truly believe that at times like this, silence is not golden. It is yellow.
Zell Miller
A Marine knows that pride is the bedrock upon which he will lay the foundation of his life, and on that foundation he will build the structure by which the worth of his existence and the measure of his accomplishments will be judged.
Zell Miller
Twenty years of votes can tell you much more about a man than twenty weeks of campaign rhetoric. Campaign talk tells people who you want them to think you are. How you vote tells people who you really are deep inside.
Zell Miller
Where I come from, deeds mean a lot more than words.
Zell Miller
Once upon a time, the most successful Democratic leader of them all, FDR, looked south and said I see one third of a nation ill-housed, ill clad, ill nourished. Today our national Democratic leaders look south and say, I see one third of a nation and it can go to hell.
Zell Miller
Howard Dean knows about as much about the South as a hog knows about Sunday.
Zell Miller
One of these days, someone smarter and younger and more articulate than I is going to get through to the American people just how really messed up the federal government has become. And when that happens, the American people are going to rise up like that football crowd in Cleveland and run both teams off the field.
Zell Miller
My family is more important than my party.
Zell Miller
It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.
Zell Miller
For more than 20 years, on every one of the great issues of freedom and security, John Kerry has been more wrong, more weak and more wobbly than any other national figure.
Zell Miller
Why is it that there's more indignation over a photo of a prisoner with underwear on his head than over the video of a young American with no head at all?
Zell Miller
I can remember that little thrill - that little shiver of excitement - when the Opry audience would encore a person because that person had touched them so.
