More quotes by Andrew Young
More and more I find I'm really impressed with how much my son knows and how much he thinks like me. But he never would agree with me and he never would listen to me on anything.
Andrew Young
President Jimmy Carter was a citizen soldier. Ironically, he was considered weak because he didn't kill anybody and he didn't get anyone killed.
Andrew Young
Civil rights leaders are involved in helping poor people. That's what I've been doing all my life.
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
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.

Influence is like a savings account, the less you use it, the more you've got
Andrew Young
The commercialization of sport is the democratization of sport.
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
In a sane, civil, intelligent and moral society, you don't blame poor people for being poor.
Andrew Young
Surely, if we can land a spaceship on Mars, we can certainly put a voter ID card in the hand of every eligible voter.
Andrew Young
My hope for my children must be that they respond to the still, small voice of God in their own hearts.
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
Can wealth give happiness? look around and see, what gay distress! what splendid misery! Whatever fortunes lavishly can pour, the mind annihilates and calls for more.
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
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 I hadn't been so outspoken, Jimmy Carter wouldn't have wanted me.
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 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
Bill [Clinton] is every bit as black as Barack. He's probably gone with more black women than Barack.
