No nation as rich as ours should have so many people isolated on islands of poverty in such a sea of material wealth.
Andrew Young
I believe in humanitarian capitalism, and there are good people on Wall Street.
Andrew Young
Martin Luther King was talking about racism, war and poverty. I think we have made progress enormous progress in racism and war, but we have made little or no progress in poverty. And it's because the economy has gotten more and more complex as we have globalized.
Andrew Young
It is a blessing to die for a cause, because you can so easily die for nothing.

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
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
Once the Xerox copier was invented, private diplomacy died. There's no such thing as secrecy. It's just a question of whether it's leaked or revealed openly.
Andrew Young
I wasn't predicted to be anything. I just followed an inner spirit, and it put me in the right place and the right time. I didn't want to be the mayor of Atlanta. I didn't want to run for Congress. I didn't want to work for Martin Luther King Jr. I wanted to work close to him and be a writer and write about the movement.
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
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
No one who's white thinks he's innocent. No one who's black thinks he's guilty.
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
In a world where change is inevitable and continuous, the need to achieve that change without violence is essential for survival.
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
I tried. But not everybody thought so.
