Quotes 

• Willie Stark : Do you know what good comes out of?

  Adam Stanton : You tell me, Mr. Stark.

  Willie Stark : Out of bad, that's what good comes out of. Because you can't make it out of anything else. You didn't know that, did you?

• Willie Stark : This much I swear to you. These things you shall have: I'm going to build a hospital. The biggest that money can buy. And it will belong to you. That any man, woman, and child who is sick or in pain can go through those doors and know that everything will be done for them that man can do to heal sickness, to ease pain. Free. Not as a charity. But as a right. And it is your right. Do you hear me? It is your right. And it is your right that every child should have a complete education. That any man who produce us anything can take it to market without paying toll. And no poor man's land or farm can be taxed or taken away from him. And it is the right of the people that they shall not be deprived of hope.

  Anne Stanton : Does he mean it, Jack?

  Adam Stanton : That's his bribe.
