We must never surrender. America will get better and better. Keep hope alive. Keep hope alive.
Jesse JacksonA new leadership. A choice. A chance. Don't cry about what you don't have. Use what you got.
Jesse JacksonIf there are occasions when my grape turned into a raisin and my joy bell lost its resonance, please forgive me. Charge it to my head and not to my heart.
Jesse JacksonMost poor people are not on welfare. . . I know they work. I'm a witness. They catch the early bus. They work every day. They raise other people's children. They work every day. They clean the streets. They work every day. They drive vans with cabs. They work every day. They change beds you slept in these hotels last night and can't get a union contract. They work every day . . .
