HUEY LONG 的竞选对手,为表示自己出身贫寒,靠个人奋斗成功,说, 从小上学时候没有鞋穿。
HUEY LONG说,我比你还惨,我出生的时候就没有鞋穿。
When Riley Joe Wilson stated in a speech that he had gone barefoot as a child, Huey Long countered in one of his speeches, "I can go Mr. Wilso one better. I was born barefoot."
HUEY LONG有一段很感人的讲演,后来被包括在他的自传里。
This oak is an immortal spot, made so by Longfellow's poem, but Evangeline is not the only one who has waited here in disappointment …
Where are the schools that you have waited for your children to have, that never come? Where are the roads and highways that you send your money to build, that are no nearer now than ever before? Where are the institutions to care for the sick and disabled? Evangeline wept bitter tears in her disappointment, but it only lasted throughout one lifetime. Your tears in this country, around this oak, have lasted for generations. Give me the chance to dry the eyes of those who still weep here.
