"The life of the Reverend Asa Dorsey is one worthy of examination for he is truly one of God's 'good and faithful servants' . . . Future generations should know that a man like Asa Dorsey once lived among us in these mountains." - Zell Miller, United States Senator and former Georgia Governor, quoted in "The Greatest of These."
"When he preaches, he really understands the Gospel. He could take a message, decipher it, and present it in a way that few others could do, and people would understand it. He could preach at a level that it wouldn't go over their heads." - Tommy Irvin, Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture, quoted in "The Greatest of These"
"His life has enriched the lives of many other people, not only through his ministry, but also through his family . . . I knew all of his children growing up, and not only did he live an exemplary life, but he and his wife, Annie Kate, taught his children to do that." - Carol Jackson, Georgia Senator, quoted in "The Greatest of These"
"One day I was at Northeast Georgia Medical Center and a woman there realized I was from White County. She told me her daddy was raised in White County. He died when he was in his 30's from cancer, and they had a hard time because he couldn't work and her mother had to look after him. They had actually gone without food in order to get her daddy's medicine. They went to the drugstore one day and the druggist said, 'You get all this medicine - the bill is already taken care of.' Her mother asked who was helping them, but the druggist said that [the donor wanted to remain anonymous]. It was many years later that she learned it was Asa Dorsey. He went about doing good without bragging about it, and it didn't matter what religion you were." Shirley McDonald, historian and columnist for White County News & Telegraph, quoted in "The Greatest of These"
