People with high blood pressure, diabetes - those are conditions brought about by life style. If you change the life style, those conditions will leave.

Whenever the dollar is held supreme and capitalistic interests dominate, a higher value will always be placed upon property rights than upon human rights.

When you look at Hitler and those thugs, you can put Walmart right next to them.

I'm not a comic. I'm a humorist.

Audiences feel no hatred from me. Because I'm not bitter.

I went to Ethiopia, and it dawned on me that you can tell a starving, malnourished person because they've got a bloated belly and a bald head.

My wife and I went to jail in Selma. The difference when I was back there recently? White folks? No. Black folks who were not scared. I was behind the president this time. When I was a little boy and ran around with trifling dudes, I was the only one scared of dogs. And I was bitten 14 times! Dogs smell scared. And that's the same thing with people: 50 years ago they smelled fear. There was no fear this time.
