Dick Gregory
Poor is a state of mind you never grow out of, but being broke is just a temporary condition.
Dick Gregory
The funniest jokes you know aren't from comics but relatives, friends - from your life. That's the funniest stuff.

There's a God force inside of you that gives you a will to live.
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.
Dick Gregory
Luck is opportunity meeting up with preparation. So you must prepare yourself to be lucky.
Dick Gregory
