More quotes by Jesse Jackson
If you wear a hoodie but aren't registered to vote, you got the symbolism but missed the substance.
Jesse Jackson
Today's students can put dope in their veins or hope in their brains. If they can conceive it and believe it, they can achieve it. They must know it is not their aptitude but their attitude that will determine their altitude.
Jesse Jackson
Watch the walls come down, whether it's in the South or on Wall Street. When the walls come down, what do we find? More markets, more talent, more capital and growth. Which means that the race and sex discrimination stunt economic growth. It's not good for capitalism. It's not good for America's growth. And it's not morally right.
Jesse Jackson
We’ve been so preoccupied with getting the government to behave in a fair and democratic way, we were not able to focus on the private sector where most of the jobs are, where most of the wealth and opportunities are.
Jesse Jackson
Sometimes arrogance makes us overreach. George Bush Jr. often tries to suggest the leaders of other countries, and it is just not good diplomacy.
Jesse Jackson
The question becomes what kind of coalition can we build that will make a transition and empower the people of Iraq? The American soldiers' presence there is an act of provocation.

Jesse Jackson

[Donald Trump] can`t reach out and push off at the same time when he says - he says we want the ban on assault weapons, because they`re so very dangerous, and background checks on guns, given the level of violence in the country, he says he wants more guns to make us more secure.
Jesse Jackson
The crown jewel of Dr. King`s movement was to protect the right to vote for all citizens.
Jesse Jackson
There's great disparity between who goes to college and who goes to jail. Who lives long and who dies prematurely, is the defining issue of our time. And I submit to you, there's a significant race dimension, it is basically class-driven.
Jesse Jackson
So here we are today with a new conversation. When University of Georgia plays Georgia Tech, it's uniform color versus skin color. We have - we've overcome that level of racial fear.
Jesse Jackson
I had to steal to survive.
Jesse Jackson
Conservatives and liberals can find common ground.
Jesse Jackson
Gangs are a group reaction to helplessness.
Jesse Jackson
No one has earned the right to do less than their best.
Jesse Jackson
President Obama projects a strong offense, but he faces a rebellious Congress focused on state's rights.
Jesse Jackson
Leadership cannot just go along to get along. Leadership must meet the moral challenge of the day.
