I'm not a Republican, nor a Democrat, nor an American, and got sense enough to know it.

I believe in human rights for everyone, and none of us is qualified to judge each other and that none of us should therefore have that authority.

Since the white people collectively have practiced the worst form of hatred against Negroes in America and they know that they are guilty of it, now when The Honorable Elijah Muhammad comes along and begins to list the historic deed - the historic attitude, the historic behavior of the white man in this country toward the black people in this country, again, the white people are so guilty and they can't stop doing these things to make Mr. Muhammad appear to be wrong, so they hide their wrong by saying "he is teaching hatred."

America is the first country... that can actually have a bloodless revolution.

Right now, in every big city ghetto, tens of thousands of yesterday's and today's school dropouts are keeping body and soul together by some form of hustling in the same way I did.

Most of the, or I should say many of the negro leaders actually suffer themselves from an inferiority complex even though they say they don't.

There is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time.
