“Anytime you find someone more successful than you are, especially when you’re both engaged in the same business – you know they’re doing something that you aren’t.”

So early in my life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise.

Learn to see, listen, and think for yourself.

The only way we’ll get freedom for ourselves is to identify ourselves with every oppressed people in the world.

You’re not to be so blind with patriotism that you can’t face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it.

My sincerity is my credentials.

If you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything.

I’m for truth, no matter who tells it. I’m for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I’m a human being, first and foremost, and as such I’m for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.

I could spend the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity.

Only those who have already experienced a revolution within themselves can reach out effectively to help others.

As long as you are convinced you have never done anything, you can never do anything.

It’s liberty or it’s death. It’s freedom for everybody or freedom for nobody.

Policies change, and programs change, according to time but objective never changes.

Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.

Who taught you to hate yourself?

I don’t even call it violence when it’s in self defense; I call it intelligence.

And just because you have colleges and universities doesn’t mean you have education.
