Top 5 quotes from Jesse Jackson
"Never look down on anybody unless you're helping them up."
"Both tears and sweat are salty, but they render a different result. Tears will get you sympathy; sweat will get you change."
"Your children need your presence more than your presents."
"A man must be willing to die for justice. Death is an inescapable reality and men die daily, but good deeds live forever."
"America is not like a blanket: one piece of unbroken cloth, the same color, the same texture, the same size. America is more like a quilt: many patches, many pieces, many colors, many sizes, all woven and held together by a common thread."
Top 5 quotes from Race
"I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man."
"There can be no doubt that racial paternalism and its unintended consequences can be as poisonous and pernicious as any other form of discrimination."
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
"Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love."
"I don't believe in quotas. America was founded on a philosophy of individual rights, not group rights."
