Dick Gregory

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
Once I realised the value of making people laugh, I got very good at it. Fast.
Dick Gregory
