Being white is a job in America. You take that away, you better get the soldiers out.

Just being a Negro doesn't qualify you to understand the race situation any more than being sick makes you an expert on medicine.

I would have painted the White House black. I would have!

...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.

America will tolerate the taking of a human life without giving it a second thought. But don't misuse a household pet.

To me, seeing a really great comedian is a bit like watching a musician or a poet.

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'?

I never learned hate at home, or shame. I had to go to school for that.

Audiences feel no hatred from me. Because I'm not bitter.

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.

You got to die of something because if you die of nothing, they won't pay your insurance.

Every holiday on the calendar, I check in a hotel and fast - I don't eat, I don't drink, I don't talk.

Education means to bring out wisdom. Indoctrination means to push in knowledge.

Eating liver out of a cow's body is like eating the filter out of a car.

I consider myself always a humorist. And I think anybody who tells jokes or makes people laugh is humor.

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.

We thought I was going to be a great athlete, and we were wrong, and I thought I was going to be a great entertainer, and that wasn't it either. I'm going to be an American Citizen. First class.

Martin Luther King taught us all nonviolence. I was told to extend nonviolence to the mother and her calf.

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.

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.
