I don’t know how I’m going to live with myself if I don’t stay true to what I believe.
How you do anything is how you do everything.
It’s not easy to stand alone against the ridicule of others.
You can’t put a price on integrity.
Whatever happens tomorrow, you must promise me one thing. That you will stay who you are. Not a perfect soldier, but a good man.
Secret? What do you mean secret? There are no secrets in a jury room.
Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have. It is the very last inch of us. But within that inch, we are free.
You don’t need to wear a patch on your arm to have honor.[to Dawson]
Respect for one’s elders shows character.
I’ll paraphrase Thoreau here. “Rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness, give me truth.”
I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An inch. It is small, and it is fragile, and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.
For as long as I can remember, I just wanted to do what was right. I guess I’m not quite sure what that is any more.
