More quotes by Andrew Young
If all I get is a little controversy for speaking the truth, if I did less, I would not be worth living.
Andrew Young
Wishing of all strategies, is the worst.
Andrew Young
I like my life. I've had a good life. I think the reason is my parents taught me that life is a burden. But if you take it one day at a time, it's an easy burden.
Andrew Young
We were trying to transform America, not triumph over white folk.
Andrew Young

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
I always quoted to my parents from Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet. Your children are not your children. They come through you, but not from you. You can give them your love, but not your thoughts, for they come from a land that you cannot enter, not even in your wildest dreams.
Andrew Young
My daddy was determined to make me a dentist and a baseball player. And I loved my daddy but I wasted four years of college trying to do what he wanted me to do, and not what I felt I wanted to do.
Andrew Young
President Jimmy Carter was a citizen soldier. Ironically, he was considered weak because he didn't kill anybody and he didn't get anyone killed.
Andrew Young
Martin Luther King said America had given a bad check to black people.
Andrew Young
I have about concluded that wealth is a state of mind, and that anyone can acquire a wealthy state of mind by thinking rich thoughts.
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
