More quotes by Dick Gregory
Life isn't a race. It's a relay.
Dick Gregory
If it wasn't for Abe Lincoln, I'd still be on the open market.
Dick Gregory
I chose to be an agitator. And there's one interesting thing about being an agitator - and I tell people - the next time you put your underwear in the washing machine, take the agitator out, and all you're going to end up with is some dirty, wet drawers.
Dick Gregory
America will tolerate the taking of a human life without giving it a second thought. But don't misuse a household pet.
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
Black conservatives have a right to exist, but why would I want to walk around with a swastika on my shirt after the way Hitler done messed it up?
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
Truth is the baby of the world. It never gets old.
Dick Gregory
I would have painted the White House black. I would have!
Dick Gregory
You got to die of something because if you die of nothing, they won't pay your insurance.
Dick Gregory
I never learned hate at home, or shame. I had to go to school for that.
Dick Gregory
I never believed in Santa Claus because I knew no white dude would come into my neighborhood after dark.
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
People with high blood pressure, diabetes - those are conditions brought about by life style. If you change the life style, those conditions will leave.
Dick Gregory
What price would God demand from the churches for having the audacity to lighten the color of his son's skin, and straighten out his nappy hair?
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.
Dick Gregory
Hell hath no fury like a liberal scorned.
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
Poor is a state of mind you never grow out of, but being broke is just a temporary condition.
Dick Gregory
Pets are found to suffer from all the ailments known to the human.
