More quotes by Jesse Jackson
We live on the dash between our birth date and our death date.
Jesse Jackson
I had gained a greater appreciation of hearing the concerns of woman, doctors, and so many others.
Jesse Jackson
Most blacks will argue that they excel because of hard work, because of intellect, determination, sweat, blood, tears and risk.
Jesse Jackson
There was a direct jobs program from the Rooselvelt administration in the 1930s. The Justice Department has set up a task force to investigate the banks and the mortgage crisis but that's a little too late. Whenever they report they will report the obvious. It will be too late to impact the people who need the help the most.
Jesse Jackson
The crisis is not an opportunity to change the character of Louisiana's political order. We must not use the crisis to turn Louisiana into a red state -- this is a rainbow state.
Jesse Jackson
If the right wing has their way and state's rights control voting rights, they would remove protections that make it difficult for seniors to vote. It would be harder for students to vote on campus. These are attempts to suppress acts of voting.
Jesse Jackson
Leadership cannot just go along to get along. Leadership must meet the moral challenge of the day.
Jesse Jackson
Our dreams must be stronger than our memories. We must be pulled by our dreams, rater than pushed by our memories.
Jesse Jackson
If whites would vote their economic interests, not their racial fears, we the people who have the most need for change have the power to bring about that change nonviolently.
Jesse Jackson
You can’t vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man.
Jesse Jackson
That Obama I would like to cut his nuts off.
Jesse Jackson
In order for an ideal to become a reality, there must be a person, a personality to translate it.
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
Our premise is that inclusion leads to growth. So for those who are locked out, they lose development, and those who are in power lose market and growth.
Jesse Jackson
Pictures can live in one's memory. That's why they are important.
Jesse Jackson
Our flag is read, white and blue, but our nation is a rainbown-red, yellow, brown, black and white - and we're all precious in God's sight.
Jesse Jackson
I want to cut his nuts off.
Jesse Jackson
No lie can live forever.
Jesse Jackson
Peace is the alternative to war, and nonviolence should be seen as the antidote to violence, not simply as its opposite. Nonviolence is more concerned with saving life than with saving face.
Jesse Jackson
Hymies. And Hymietown.
