How Green Was My Valley (film) Quotes

Roddy McDowall as Huw Morgan

• (Roddy McDowall) "Men like my father cannot die. They are with me still, real in memory as they were in flesh, loving and beloved forever. How green was my valley then."

• (Roddy McDowall) "Indeed I will."

• (Roddy McDowall) "I think I fell in love with Bronwyn then. Perhaps it is foolish to think a child could fall in love. But I am the child that was, and nobody knows how I felt, except only me."

• (Roddy McDowall) "It is with me now, so many years later. And it makes me think of so much that is good, that is gone."

Walter Pidgeon as Mr. Gruffydd

• (Walter Pidgeon) "You've been lucky, Huw. Lucky to suffer and lucky to spend these weary months in bed. For so God has given you a chance to make the spirit within yourself. And as your father cleans his lamp to have good light, so keep clean your spirit -- By prayer, Huw. And by prayer, I don't mean shouting, mumbling, and wallowing like a hog in religious sentiment. Prayer is only another name for good, clean, direct thinking. When you pray, think. Think well what you're saying. Make your thoughts into things that are solid. In that way, your prayer will have strength, and that strength will become a part of you, body, mind, and spirit."

• (Walter Pidgeon) "I know why you have come; I have seen it in your faces Sunday after Sunday as I've stood here before you. Fear has brought you here. Horrible, superstitious fear. Fear of divine retribution a bolt of fire from the skies. The vengeance of the Lord and the justice of God. But you have forgotten the love of Jesus. You disregard His sacrifice. Death, fear, flames, horror and black clothes. Hold your meeting then, but know if you do this in the name of God and in the house of God, you blaspheme against Him and His Word."

• (Walter Pidgeon) "Who is for Gwilym Morgan and the others?"
• (Rhys Williams) "I, for one. He is the blood of my heart. Come, Cyfartha."
• (Barry Fitzgerald) "-- 'Tis a coward I am. But I will hold your coat."

• (Walter Pidgeon) "But remember, with strength goes responsibility; to others and to yourselves. For you cannot conquer injustice with more injustice; only with justice and the help of God."

Sara Allgood as Beth Morgan

• (Sara Allgood) "I have come up here to tell you what I think of you all, because you are talking against my husband. You are a lot of cowards to go against him. He has done nothing against you and he never has and you know it well. How some of you, you smug-faced hypocrites, can sit in the same chapel with him I cannot tell. To say he is with the owners is not only nonsense but downright wickedness. There's one thing more I've got to say and it is this. If harm comes to my Gwilym, I will find out the men and I will kill them with my two hands. And this I will swear by God Almighty."

• (Sara Allgood) "Nothing is enough for people who have minds like cesspools. Oh Huw, my little one, I hope when you're grown their tongues will be slower to hurt."

• (Sara Allgood) "Fight again, and when you come home, not a look shall you have from me -- not a word."

Maureen O'Hara as Angharad

• (Maureen O'Hara) "Look now, you are king in the chapel. But I will be queen in my own kitchen."

• (Maureen O'Hara) "What does that mean?"
• (Walter Pidgeon) "-- I should not have said it."
• (Maureen O'Hara) "Why?"
• (Walter Pidgeon) "I have no right to speak to you so."
• (Maureen O'Hara) "Mr. Gruffydd, if the right is mine to give, you have it."

• (Rhys Williams) "How would you go about taking the measurement of a stick, Mr. Jonas?"
• (Morton Lowry) "By its' length, of course."
• (Rhys Williams) "And how would you measure a man who would use a stick on a boy one-third his size?"
• (Barry Fitzgerald) "Tell us."
• (Rhys Williams) "Now, you are good in the use of a stick, but boxing is my subject -- according to the rules laid down by the good Marquis of Queensbury."
• (Barry Fitzgerald) "God rest his soul."
• (Rhys Williams) "And happy I am to pass on my knowledge to you."

• (Rhys Williams) "Now look, to make a good boxer, you must have a good -- right hand, you see?"
