More quotes by Andrew Young
When people ask where I studied to be an ambassador, I say my neighborhood and my school. I've tried to tell my kids that you don't wait until you're in high school or college to start dealing with problems of people being different. The younger you start, the better.
Andrew Young
I tried. But not everybody thought so.
Andrew Young
There's no problem on the planet that can't be solved without violence. That's the lesson of the civil rights movement.
Andrew Young
We rise in glory as we sink in pride.
Andrew Young
There is a sense in which the United States Ambassador speaks to the United States, as well as for the United States. I have always seen my role as a thermostat, rather than a thermometer. So I'm going to be actively working... for my own concerns. I have always had people advise me on what to say, but never on what not to say.
Andrew Young
Both the brightness and the spectrum of the X-rays are very different from what theory predicts.
Andrew Young
If you're a preacher, you talk for a living, so even if you don't make sense, you learn to make nonsense eloquently.
Andrew Young
You have to expect that if you cuss out the world, The world is going to cuss back.
Andrew Young
I would define morality as enlightened self-interest...That old Platonic ideal that there are certain pure moral forms just isn't where we are.
Andrew Young
More and more I find I'm really impressed with how much my son knows and how much he thinks like me. But he never would agree with me and he never would listen to me on anything.
Andrew Young
It stands to reason that unloved and unwanted children are going to get into crime.
Andrew Young
The commercialization of sport is the democratization of sport.
Andrew Young
I have committed my life to helping the poor, and I believe that if more companies followed Wal-Mart's lead in providing opportunity and savings to those who need it most, more Americans battling poverty would realize the American dream.
Andrew Young
The Soviet Union is going to have a human-rights explosion. You'll have hundreds of thousands of dissidents.
Andrew Young
Martin Luther King said America had given a bad check to black people.
Andrew Young
What we forget is that African Americans made the largest contribution to America, economically, before the Civil War of any sector of society. I read that the railroads were worth about $2 billion, but slavery was a $3 billion asset.
Andrew Young
I had to get a second passport in a hurry.
Andrew Young
Having personally watched the Voting Rights Act being signed into law that August day, I can't begin to imagine how we could have all been so wrong in believing that more Americans would vote once they were all truly free to do so.
Andrew Young
Any racial reconciliation we've had in this country has come not out of confrontation but out of a spirit of reconciliation. If we continue to practice an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, we'll eventually end up with a land of people who are blind and toothless.
Andrew Young
It is a blessing to die for a cause, because you can so easily die for nothing.
Andrew Young
