Crime is going down everywhere but in the New York City Police Department.
Al Sharpton
I've seen enough things to know that if you just keep on going, if you turn the corner, the sun will be shining.
Al Sharpton
We won`t back down! We won`t be trumped!

I was raised by a single mother who made a way for me. She used to scrub floors as a domestic worker, put a cleaning rag in her pocketbook and ride the subways in Brooklyn so I would have food on the table. But she taught me as I walked her to the subway that life is about not where you start, but where you're going. That's family values.

Al Sharpton
It was better walk with dignity than ride in shame. A lot of people in Cincinnati are saying, Rather than have the continual problems of police brutality and economic disparity, I'm willing to make some sacrifices. And I think that they ought to be respected for doing that.
Al Sharpton
If I use the media, even with tricks, to publicize a black youth being shot in the back in Teaneck, New Jersey... then I should be praised for it, and it's more of a comment on them than me that it would take tricks to make them cover the loss of life.

Life is about not where you start, but where you're going. That's family values.

Bill Clinton strikes me as the kind of guy who goes wherever the polls lead him, rather than leading the polls.
Al Sharpton
My dad challenged every president from President [Dwight] Eisenhower and Vice President [Richard] Nixon to President [J.F] Kennedy, Vice President [Lindon] Johnson to President Johnson and Vice President [Hubert] Humphrey. It`s challenging the administrations to do the right thing.
Al Sharpton
I grew up in the 1950s and '60s, when it was almost a holiday when a black act would go on Ed Sullivan.

How do you make things fair?

I've seen too much in life to give up.
