Philly Quotes

In Philly when it’s good, there is no better place Picture Quote #1

No, this was Philly. Drunks here boo Santa and get in more trouble than a dog with an Easter basket, and like the dog, they usually end up either sick or dead. Ah yes, another lovely eve in the big city Picture Quote #1

To research my book ‘Me the People’ - in which I have rewritten the entire Constitution of the United States - I flew to Greece, the birthplace of democracy. I bused to Philly, the home of independence. I even, if you can believe it, read the Constitution of the United States Picture Quote #1

I think Philly is arguably the best sports town - football town - in America Picture Quote #1

Ever see a hot shot hit, kid? I saw the Gimp catch one in Philly. We rigged his room with a one-way whorehouse mirror and charged a sawski to watch it. He never got the needle out of his arm. They don't if the shot is right. That's the way they find them, dropper full of clotted blood hanging out of a blue arm. The look in his eyes when it hit - - Kid, it was tasty Picture Quote #1

Philly gave me my ambition and drive to get more. It’s a reminder to stay on top of my game. That’s not a place I want to go back to Picture Quote #1

When I was in high school, I used to have breakfast with my grandpa every morning. He instilled a lot of values in me: hard work, loyalty.

Sometimes his family would get kicked out of their apartment because they couldn’t pay the rent Picture Quote #1

I grew up in a very old-fashioned Roman Catholic, Italian-Irish family in Philly Picture Quote #1

Philly gave me my ambition and drive to get more. It’s a reminder to stay on top of my game. That’s not a place I want to go back to Picture Quote #1
