More quotes by 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
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
Some kind of way, we have to say enough is enough.
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
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'?
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
Every holiday on the calendar, I check in a hotel and fast - I don't eat, I don't drink, I don't talk.
Dick Gregory
Love is very dangerous if you just have love and don't have the ability to be lovable.
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
If it wasn't for Abe Lincoln, I'd still be on the open market.
Dick Gregory
The United States is the most dishonest, ungodly, unspiritual nation that ever existed in the history of the planet.
Dick Gregory
Nature is not affected by finance. If someone offered you ten thousand dollars to let them touch your eyeball without blinking, you would never collect the money. At the very last moment, Nature would force you to blink your eye. Nature will protect her own.
Dick Gregory
When I first broke through, there was only NBC, CBS and ABC, and they had news in the morning and in the evening - there wasn't no 24-hour news.
Dick Gregory
Audiences feel no hatred from me. Because I'm not bitter.
Dick Gregory
There's a God force inside of you that gives you a will to live.

The funniest jokes you know aren't from comics but relatives, friends - from your life. That's the funniest stuff.
