More quotes by Jesse Jackson
I want to cut his nuts off.
Jesse Jackson

Jesse Jackson
You can't plant a seed and pick the fruit the next morning.
Jesse Jackson
Those who write the editorials and those who write the columns, they simply are unaccountable. They're free to impose their cultural politics in the name of freedom of the press.
Jesse Jackson
You may choose your mate, but you cannot deny someone else the right to choose their mate.
Jesse Jackson
Music of all arts should be expansive and inclusive.
Jesse Jackson
We are facing a stiff wind right now, but if we persist and keep fighting back, we will prevail.
Jesse Jackson
Deliberation and debate is the way you stir the soul of our democracy.
Jesse Jackson
George Bush has met more foreign heads of state than I have. But a substantial number of them were dead.
Jesse Jackson
God doesn't make orange juice, God makes oranges.
Jesse Jackson
People like to say don't abort, adopt. But I'm saying don't strip, scholarship.
Jesse Jackson
America needs young people to be inspired to choose sacrifice over greed.
Jesse Jackson
We've removed the ceiling above our dreams. There are no more impossible dreams.
Jesse Jackson
