More quotes by Dick Gregory
There's a God force inside of you that gives you a will to live.
Dick Gregory
Once I realised the value of making people laugh, I got very good at it. Fast.
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
The NAACP is a wonderful organization . . . But do you realize if tomorrow morning we had complete integration, all them cats would be outta work?
Dick Gregory
Audiences feel no hatred from me. Because I'm not bitter.
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.
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
Love is very dangerous if you just have love and don't have the ability to be lovable.
Dick Gregory
If you can justify killing to eat meat, you can justify the conditions of the ghetto. I cannot justify either one.
Dick Gregory
I won't say I'm out of condition now - but I even puff going downstairs.
Dick Gregory
Fear and God do not occupy the same space.
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
What happens to Black Folks today, happens to White Folks tomorrow.
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
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
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 believe young voters will either vote for Obama or not vote at all. So the problem is not Obama the problem is the system. If you think about how mess up this country is most folk really don’t have choices.
Dick Gregory
When you look at Hitler and those thugs, you can put Walmart right next to them.
Dick Gregory
Hell hath no fury like a liberal scorned.
