If democracy is such a good thing, let's have more of it.

When I go through the airport and see white women walking through the airport barefooted, like athlete's feet don't exist, there's something wrong.

In the South they don't mind how close I get, so long as I don't get too big. In the North they don't mind how big I get, so long as I don't get too close.

When you've got something really good, you don't have to force it on people. They will steal it!

White folks are the luckiest people: Finally a black president and he's a behaved one. Went to the best schools, best colleges, never raises his voice. I ran for president in 1968. I tell (audiences) if I won, I would have dug up the Rose Garden and planted watermelon!

When I was a boy, I was taught never to use insulting expressions like, 'I've been gypped,' or, 'He welshed on the deal.'
