Ben Robertson Quotes

The South we belong to is a good country, a valiant country; it always has valor, and it has had industry and thrift. Our house is painted, our grass is green. For those of us who bend our backs and put our shoulders to to the wheel, the South is still Canaan land; it is milk and honey.
