More quotes by 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
If all you can do is judge a person by their appearance, because you don't have the spirit to judge someone from within, you're in trouble.
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
Laughter is the best way to release tensions and fears.

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.

What price would God demand from the churches for having the audacity to lighten the color of his son's skin, and straighten out his nappy hair?
Dick Gregory
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 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
If you can justify killing to eat meat, you can justify the conditions of the ghetto. I cannot justify either one.
Dick Gregory
When I lost my rifle, the Army charged me 85 dollars. That is why in the Navy the Captain goes down with the ship.
Dick Gregory
You got to die of something because if you die of nothing, they won't pay your insurance.
Dick Gregory
I go to Chinese Christian community. Jesus looks Chinese. I go to Japanese Christian community. Jesus looks Japanese. I go to Brazilian Christian community. Jesus looks Brazilian. How come in America Jesus looks white?
Dick Gregory
I never learned hate at home, or shame. I had to go to school for that.
Dick Gregory
The United States is the most dishonest, ungodly, unspiritual nation that ever existed in the history of the planet.
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.
