I never have been able to see any occasion for a man's going into trade, or being a lawyer, or any of those things if his position and family were such that he didn't need to.

You know, yourself, there are a lot of people in the East--in the South, too, for that matter--that don't think we've got any particular family or position or culture in this part of the country.

I've met plenty of that kind of provincial snobs myself, and they're pretty galling.

There were one or two men in my crowd at college, their families had lived on their income for three generations, and they never dreamed there was anybody in their class out here.

I had to show them a thing or two, right at the start, and I guess they won't forget it! Well, I think it's time all their sort found out that three generations can mean just as much out here as anywhere else.
