“If they let me choose between you and the dog, I'll choose the dog.”
“A fox and a wolf are both canine, both belong to the dog family. Now you take your choice. You going to choose a Northern dog or a Southern dog? Because either dog you choose, I guarantee you’ll still be in the dog house.
This is why I say it’s the ballot or the bullet. It’s liberty or it’s death. It’s freedom for everybody or freedom for nobody.”
The Ballot or the Bullet (1964), Speech in Detroit, Michigan (12 April 1964)
