Andrew Young
Civil rights leaders are involved in helping poor people. That's what I've been doing all my life.
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
Beauty and love are all my dream They change not with the changing day Love stays forever like a stream That flows but never flows away.

Andrew Young
I was raised that way: don't get mad, get smart.
Andrew Young
My solutions are to include Africa in the global economy, and not African charity, AIDS research, but African infrastructure development. And I think that Africa can import and needs everything the whole world can manufacture. And they have got enough money to pay for it. It's just that the money is in the ground.

I had to get a second passport in a hurry.
Andrew Young
Freedom is a struggle, and we do it together. Not only together as black citizens, but black and white together.
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
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
Moral power is probably best when it is not used. The less you use it the more you have.
Andrew Young
I was much more comfortable and a much better congressman running in a district that was 37 percent black, where I had to have a white constituency to get elected, than I would have been if I was in a 75 percent black district.
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
If I hadn't been so outspoken, Jimmy Carter wouldn't have wanted me.
Andrew Young
Everybody is determined by his own experience.
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.
