“The people have to have the power: it belongs to the people.”

Socialism is the people! You afraid of yourself. If you afraid of socialism, you afraid of yourself.

Power anywhere where there’s people!

We have to start learning, and you learn through practice. We have to start making mistakes, and you learn through making mistakes.

Why don’t you live for the people? Why don’t you struggle for the people? Why don’t you die for the people?

If you dare to struggle, you dare to win.

They talked us into buying candy bars and throwing the candy away and eating the wrapper.

Black people need some peace, white people need some peace, and we’re gonna have to fight, we’re gonna have to struggle, we’re gonna have to struggle relentlessly to bring about some peace.

We say it’s no longer a question of violence or non-violence. We say it’s a question of resistance to fascism or non-existence within fascism.

If you walk through life and don’t help anybody, you haven’t had much of a life

A revolution is a class struggle.

You can’t build a revolution with no education.

You don’t fight fire with fire. You fight fire with water. We’re gonna fight racism with solidarity. We’re not gonna fight capitalism with Black capitalism. We’re gonna fight capitalism with socialism. Socialism is the people. If you’re afraid of socialism, you’re afraid of yourself.

I’m not going to die slipping on no ice.

Changing your name is not gonna change our set of arrangements.

You don’t miss the water ‘til the well runs dry.

If you dare to struggle, you dare to win. If you dare not struggle, then damn it, you don’t deserve to win.

It’s nice to have famous people love you.

Don’t you know you are the only Jesus many people will ever see? In compromising your lifestyle, you forfeit your capacity to accurately reflect God’s image and endanger an entire generation’s understanding of Jesus.

I’m way flashier on Instagram and Snapchat because I feel like that’s what people want to see, and that’s I’ve always done, so I’m not going to stop. People want to see my cars and my purses. People love fashion. But that’s so not me.

You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.

I just hope that more people will ignore the fatalism of the argument that we are beyond repair. We are not beyond repair. We are never beyond repair.

Religion makes kind people say unkind things: “I must prove my faith, so mutilate the genitals of my children.” They wouldn’t do that if God didn’t tell them to do so.

I ain’t a rapper; I’m a motivational speaker. I don’t do shows; I do seminars. I really talk to people.

I try not to read the blogs or what people say about me. Because that’s what brings everybody down – no matter what you do, you’re always going to have haters.
