If I ever tried to take credit for what God deserves the credit, He would be displeased with me, and I'm more interested in pleasing Him than pleasing ego or vanity.

Work hard to discover your gift and you will never envy or hate another human being who is manifesting theirs.

There really can be no peace without justice. There can be no justice without truth. And there can be no truth, unless someone rises up to tell you the truth.

I'm not trying to put our women on a pedestal that they don't deserve to be on. No man is a "man" without a woman: It's a woman that helps the man to be a man.

We are all gifted, but we have to discover the gift, uncover the gift, nurture and develop the gift and use it for the Glory of God and for the liberation struggle of our people.

God will destroy America by the hands of the Muslims. God will not give Japan or Europe the honor of bringing down the United States; this is an honor God will bestow upon Muslims.

You must recognize that the way to get the good out of your brother and your sister is not to return evil for evil.

Never exalt people because they're in your family; never exalt people because they're your color; never exalt people because they're your kinfolk. Exalt them because they're worthy.

There is no one right now in my judgment that can unite the Black electorate in such a way to present our agenda to a nominee to have them forthrightly address our concerns.

White people are potential humans - they haven't evolved yet.

The suffering of our people is greater than our differences. We are not yet free at last, so there is work to be done.

Because we had known the good times, I think my brother and I felt the loss more acutely. My father's waning presence, his chronic absence, his disappearance. Now he was just a memory.

Because I am committed to the truth of Scripture, I must try to understand what Scripture says, even if it transcends my own experience.

It's a great experience. If you get a chance to run for president, do it.

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

I like a President who tells jokes instead of appointing them.

Good luck reaches farther than long arms.

We're taught to expect unconditional love from our parents, but I think it is more the gift our children give us. It's they who love us helplessly, no matter what or who we are.

The more we take, the less we become.

I never defeated a healthy opponent.
