I don't know how many millions I'll make, so I have to give some back to charity. God blesses me with the money, but only if I give some away.

Don't ever squeeze a fighter's hand, man. You're doing good just to lay your eyes on me

The greatest victory in life is to rise above the material things that we once valued most

I would like to say that whites jumped right behind Malcolm X. They’re makin’ a book about him, it’s required readin’ in all colleges now, and they’re makin’ a movie about him, and projectin’ him as the leader and if you read his book and see the movie that’s comin’ out, it’ll make you hate Elijah Mohammed and the Muslims. Mainly, this is done to turn the black people against the real leader and I’d like to say that this is the way white people rule.

Who would thought only of themselves and kill their race? You would hate other people if you don't want to stay who you are.

When a man says I cannot, he has made a suggestion to himself. He has weakened his power of accomplishing that which otherwise would have been accomplished.

If some black man go out and start something, a riot or something or, I'm not going to jump in it and get killed because he's gone out and started something I don't believe in what he's fighting for or his approach.
