More quotes by Dick Gregory
I feel that the same God-force that is the mother and father of the Pope is also the mother and father of the loneliest wino on the planet.
Dick Gregory
Once I realised the value of making people laugh, I got very good at it. Fast.
Dick Gregory
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
To me, seeing a really great comedian is a bit like watching a musician or a poet.
Dick Gregory
Coconut milk is the only thing on this planet that comes identically to mother's milk.

A friend of mine who works for naval intelligence said an aerial satellite revealed that 1.9 million attended the event in 1995. But if they would have had a rumble at the march the newspapers would have said that 75 million Afro-Americans were there.

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
You hear entertainers all the time, saying, 'If I couldn't get paid for this, I'd do it for free.' When's the last time you ever heard a business person say, 'If I couldn't get paid for being chairman of British Petroleum, I'd do it for free'?

The world is fed by greed.
Dick Gregory
Eating liver out of a cow's body is like eating the filter out of a car.
Dick Gregory
When you look at Hitler and those thugs, you can put Walmart right next to them.
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
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
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
I wouldn't mind paying taxes... if I knew they were going to a friendly country

I consider myself always a humorist. And I think anybody who tells jokes or makes people laugh is humor.
Dick Gregory
That's easy, to stand in a nightclub, where most of the people that come in, they came to see you.
Dick Gregory
Love is very dangerous if you just have love and don't have the ability to be lovable.
Dick Gregory
I would have painted the White House black. I would have!
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.
