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
Our children lost our direction because they have been compromised. They have found freedom at the ballot box, and then they have taken on plastic chains around their minds and souls and mortgage their future on credit cards. They have to learn better - they have to learn the value of ideas and health as opposed to wealth.
Andrew Young
I had to get a second passport in a hurry.
Andrew Young

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
In a world where change is inevitable and continuous, the need to achieve that change without violence is essential for survival.
Andrew Young
We think it is complicated to change the world. Change comes little by little. Nothing worthwhile can happen in one generation.
Andrew Young
Influence is like a savings account, the less you use it, the more you've got
Andrew Young
I was raised that way: don't get mad, get smart.
Andrew Young
Martin Luther King said America had given a bad check to black people.
Andrew Young
Moral power is probably best when it is not used. The less you use it the more you have.
