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
Poor is a state of mind you never grow out of, but being broke is just a temporary condition.
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
What happens to Black Folks today, happens to White Folks tomorrow.
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

Dick Gregory
I wouldn't mind paying taxes... if I knew they were going to a friendly country
Dick Gregory
I was born and raised in St. Louis, and this little town, eight blocks away, place no one ever heard of, a black man there commands the attention of the world for months? That ain't my world.
