Dick Gregory
I never believed in Santa Claus because I knew no white dude would come into my neighborhood after dark.
Dick Gregory
A Klaner KKK is a cat who gets out of bed in the middle of the night and takes his sheet with him.
Dick Gregory
Just being a Negro doesn't qualify you to understand the race situation any more than being sick makes you an expert on medicine.
Dick Gregory
The only good thing about the good old days is they're gone.
Dick Gregory
Truth is the baby of the world. It never gets old.
Dick Gregory
When you look at Hitler and those thugs, you can put Walmart right next to them.
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
Luck is opportunity meeting up with preparation. So you must prepare yourself to be lucky.
