Your children need your presence more than your presents.- Jesse Jackson
When we are unemployed, we are called lazy; when the whites are unemployed it's called a depression.
When the doors of opportunity swing open, we must make sure that we are not too drunk or too indifferent to walk through.
We've removed the ceiling above our dreams. There are no more impossible dreams.
We must not measure greatness from the mansion down, but from the manger up.
Today's students can put dope in their veins or hope in their brains. If they can conceive it and believe it, they can achieve it. They must know it is not their aptitude but their attitude that will determine their altitude.
Time is neutral and does not change things. With courage and initiative, leaders change things.
Our dreams must be stronger than our memories. We must be pulled by our dreams, rater than pushed by our memories.
No one should negotiate their dreams. Dreams must be free to fly high. No government, no legislature, has a right to limit your dreams. You should never agree to surrender your dreams.
Never look down on anybody unless you are helping him up.
Leadership has a harder job to do than just choose sides. It must bring sides together.
Leadership cannot just go along to get along. Leadership must meet the moral challenge of the day.
Keep hope alive!
It is time for us to turn to each other, not on each other.
In politics, an organized minority is a political majority.
