More quotes by Dick Gregory
Eating liver out of a cow's body is like eating the filter out of a car.
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.
Dick Gregory
In America, with all of its evils and faults, you can still reach through the forest and see the sun. But we don't know yet whether that sun is rising or setting for our country.
Dick Gregory
...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.
Dick Gregory
When you look at Hitler and those thugs, you can put Walmart right next to them.
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
I won't say I'm out of condition now - but I even puff going downstairs.
Dick Gregory
Love is very dangerous if you just have love and don't have the ability to be lovable.
Dick Gregory
Audiences feel no hatred from me. Because I'm not bitter.
Dick Gregory
The NAACP is a wonderful organization . . . But do you realize if tomorrow morning we had complete integration, all them cats would be outta work?
Dick Gregory
At the very last moment, Nature would force you to blink your eye. Nature will protect her own.
Dick Gregory
Why are black folks singing Amazing Grace which is a song about a white slaver's conversion?
Dick Gregory
I go to Chinese Christian community. Jesus looks Chinese. I go to Japanese Christian community. Jesus looks Japanese. I go to Brazilian Christian community. Jesus looks Brazilian. How come in America Jesus looks white?
Dick Gregory
Love is man's natural endowment, but he doesn't know how to use it. He refuses to recognize the power of love because of his love of power.
Dick Gregory
Being white is a job in America. You take that away, you better get the soldiers out.
Dick Gregory
If you take 12 waters from the coconut - not the ones you buy in the store, although that's good - but the fresh coconuts, the little brown ones with the three eyes, if you take 12 of those within 24 hours, your blood will go back to the way it was when you were born.
Dick Gregory
Once I realised the value of making people laugh, I got very good at it. Fast.
Dick Gregory
