- Abe Cady: [In a confrontation outside the courthouse] This is one Jew you're not going to castrate, Kelno.
- Adam Kelno: You have no dignity, Mr. Cady.
- Mr. Graham: [Referring to his bad knee condition which he has not followed up on as directed] Thought it might go away.
- Adam Kelno: [With sarcasm] Oh, yes... very sensible. You know, things go away or eventually they kill you. You thought you'd wait and see, eh? Yeah.
- Ben Cady: [Referring to the reviews his book received in Israel] Do yu think the foreign reviews will be as good?
- Abe Cady: Acch, the Jewish critics like a book by a Jew about Jews are not going to wonder what the London Times says. They were probably hard on "Genesis" here when it first hit the bookstores.
- Stephen Kelno: [Pleading with his father not to sue] I understand that you want revenge, but I know that revenge can sometimes be just as damaging to the victor as it is to the loser.
- Justice Gilroy: [Ruling on admitting new evidence during closing aruments] Sir Robert, if there is no precedent, I shall set one.
- Abe Cady: The men and women of this jury have played back to us what Europe has learned over the bodies of it's millions of dead. That those who hate, and bomb and starve other people because they fear the color of their skin because it's different from theirs, or their politics because it's different from theirs, or their religion because it's different from theirs, are evil men. That if there's any common meaning to the word's good and evil, it lies in the difference between such men and ourselves. So as long as we allow them to rule nations, to command armies, administer the sects, we will continue to be their victims. What happened between 1939 and 1945 in Europe is still happening in half a dozen countries across the world, and it will continue to happen as long as evil men remain organized and good and gentle men are deceive and put upon and paralyzed by them.
