Quote of the Day: George Bailey

[azmouse]

Yep, George from It's a Wonderful Life. He says it better than anyone else.

"You, you said that they — What’d you say just a minute ago? They had to wait and save their money before they even thought of a decent home. Wait? Wait for what?! Until their children grow up and leave them? Until they’re so old and broken-down that — You know how long it takes a workin’ man to save five thousand dollars? Just remember this, Mr. Potter, that this rabble you’re talking about, they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath? Anyway, my father didn’t think so. People were human beings to him, but to you, a warped, frustrated old man, they’re cattle. Well, in my book he died a much richer man than you’ll ever be."


Amen, George. Amen.

I watched it last night on NBC. Such a timeless movie and the quote above is as true today as it was then! Merry Christmas!
