Hell hath no fury like a liberal scorned.

America has the mightiest military on the planet, and they didn't get there with entertainers.

What happens to Black Folks today, happens to White Folks tomorrow.

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
Love is very dangerous if you just have love and don't have the ability to be lovable.
Dick Gregory
To me, seeing a really great comedian is a bit like watching a musician or a poet.
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
Poor is a state of mind you never grow out of, but being broke is just a temporary condition.
