More quotes by Dick Gregory
Hell hath no fury like a liberal scorned.
Dick Gregory
Love is very dangerous if you just have love and don't have the ability to be lovable.
Dick Gregory
I won't say I'm out of condition now - but I even puff going downstairs.
Dick Gregory
Luck is opportunity meeting up with preparation. So you must prepare yourself to be lucky.
Dick Gregory
Fear and God do not occupy the same space.

We used to root for the Indians against the cavalry, because we didn't think it was fair in the history books that when the cavalry won it was a great victory, and when the Indians won it was a massacre.
Dick Gregory
Whenever the dollar is held supreme and capitalistic interests dominate, a higher value will always be placed upon property rights than upon human rights.
Dick Gregory
Life isn't a race. It's a relay.
Dick Gregory
The world is fed by greed.
Dick Gregory
Audiences feel no hatred from me. Because I'm not bitter.

Black Americans are the only people in history who are for education instead of liberation. George Washington wasn't beating up on British for the right to open a college! The line isn't Give me education or give me death.
Dick Gregory
In the South they don't mind how close I get, so long as I don't get too big. In the North they don't mind how big I get, so long as I don't get too close.

...Humans were the only creatures in the world that ate their food cooked. You'd never find a Gorilla frying up some bananas for dinner or a lion charcoal-broiling a zebra steak. Cats don't often run to the oven with a mouse or bird they've captured, and a dog wouldn't naturally prepare its rabbit dinner in a stew.

Don't have a high school diploma? You're in my Cabinet. Why? For 200 years, a lot of Cabinets have existed in our government. Powerful men. Well-educated. So let's try something totally new.
Dick Gregory
Laughter is the best way to release tensions and fears.
Dick Gregory
Race baiters and discriminators may go underground, but they never move out of town.
Dick Gregory
Because I'm a civil rights activist, I am also an animal rights activist. Animals and humans suffer and die alike. Violence causes the same pain, the same spilling of blood, the same stench of death, the same arrogant, cruel and vicious taking of life. We shouldn't be a part of it.
Dick Gregory
Because you make me laugh don't make you a comic. A comedian is a person who, that's how they make their living.
Dick Gregory
If all you can do is judge a person by their appearance, because you don't have the spirit to judge someone from within, you're in trouble.

Coconut milk is the only thing on this planet that comes identically to mother's milk.
