More quotes by 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

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
I wouldn't listen to my parents, but I found out that I absorbed. I never heard what they said - told me - but I did what they did.
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
Slavery didnt break up the black families as much as liberal welfare rules.
Andrew Young
I have committed my life to helping the poor, and I believe that if more companies followed Wal-Mart's lead in providing opportunity and savings to those who need it most, more Americans battling poverty would realize the American dream.
Andrew Young
It is a blessing to die for a cause, because you can so easily die for nothing.
