The Dolly's around here can't be seen to coddle a snitch's family --- that's the always been our way. We're old blood, us people, and our ways was set firm long before hot shot baby Jesus ever even burped milk'n sh*& yellow.

About This Quote

"The Dolly's around here can't be seen to coddle a snitch's family --- that's the always been our way. We're old blood, us people, and our ways was set firm long before hot shot baby Jesus ever even burped milk'n sh*& yellow." From the film "The Fugitive," directed by John Frankenheimer. Here is a quote from a famous American President, Harry S. Truman: "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." But this quote is not always true, at least to Americans today. Many other countries are still governed under fear, but not the United States of America.

The United States of America is free, and it uses its freedom to make great strides forward in many areas of life. It allows us to have freedom of speech and others do not have that freedom here. The United States of America is free to choose its own leaders, and it does so in a way that is fair and works for the best interest of all its citizens. Some people say that their country or their family are free because they have freedom to do what they want with their lives, but this is also untrue.

Some people are forced into doing things against their will, but not all countries are like this. Other countries are so poor that they cannot do anything except survive day by day without any hope for change or any chance for a better life. And finally, some countries do not allow their citizens to do anything without permission from the government first.

Freedom is an important factor in human life now as it has been since time began. It allows us as individuals to decide what we want with our lives and how we want to lead our lives as long as we live within those laws that we created for ourselves and our society as a whole.
