More quotes by 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
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
If all I get is a little controversy for speaking the truth, if I did less, I would not be worth living.
Andrew Young
Some kind of affirmative action is important in a democracy and for economic competitiveness and national security. The Army was the first to realize that you had to have desegregation of a military to have it working properly.
Andrew Young
The two are not mutually exclusive, but we think we can have wealth without good ideas and without values and without a clear vision. Wealth without vision is insanity.

Andrew Young
Nothing is illegal if one hundred businessmen decide to do it.
Andrew Young
If I wanted to develop a scenario to destroy America, I would do what the Republicans are doing. Take the brightest and best young black men off the streets, put them in jail, make them meaner than hell for 8 or 10 years and then turn them lose in a society where there are plenty of guns for them to play with.
