All over this world people are standing up for freedom.

Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it.

As long as the factories are in the hands of the whites, the housing is in the hands of the whites, the school system is in the hands of the whites, you have a situation where the blacks are constantly begging the whites can they use this or can they use that. That's not any kind of equality of opportunity, nor does it lend toward one's dignity.

It has taken us that long to get the deaf, dumb, and blind black men in the wilderness of North America to wake up and understand who they are.

I think that the best thing that a person can be is sincere.

Everything that came out of Europe, every blue-eyed thing, is already an American. And as long as you and I have been over here, we aren't Americans yet.

I go for Mao Tse-tung much more than, than Nehru because I think that Nehru brought his country up in a beggar's role.
