Famous quotes containing the words field and/or gun:

    ... no young colored person in the United States today can truthfully offer as an excuse for lack of ambition or aspiration that members of his race have accomplished so little, he is discouraged from attempting anything himself. For there is scarcely a field of human endeavor which colored people have been allowed to enter in which there is not at least one worthy representative.
    Mary Church Terrell (1863–1954)

    I grew up in a tough neighborhood and we used to say ‘you can get further with a kind word and a gun than just a kind word.’
    David Mamet, U.S. screenwriter, and Brian DePalma. Al Capone (Robert DeNiro)
