More quotes by Jesse Jackson
If you and I got on an airplane, you're going to L.A., Los Angeles, and I'm going to Senegal, we get there about the same time. The world is just that small. So a world that is so tightly bound by science and technology and now Internet and the web page, that world is too small for bullies. It has no room in that world for arrogance.
Jesse Jackson
You may choose your mate, but you cannot deny someone else the right to choose their mate.
Jesse Jackson
No one should negotiate their dreams. Dreams must be free to fly high.
Jesse Jackson
There is fear, police in fear, people if are in fear, children are fear, but fear and hate must not drive our agenda, love and hope and healing must drive the agenda.
Jesse Jackson
On the political front, of course it's a zero-sum game. If it's all white males holding positions, you bring 10 women in, then it's, 'Women are coming!' Get 10 blacks and it's, 'Blacks are coming!' 'Hispanics are coming!' Zero-sum game. The seatmates might change but the chairs don't move. In the economy, the number of chairs can actually increase.
Jesse Jackson
You can't teach what you don't know. And you can't lead where you don't go.
Jesse Jackson
It is in struggle and service with our brothers and sisters, individually and collectively, that we find the meaning of life.
Jesse Jackson
If you wear a hoodie but aren't registered to vote, you got the symbolism but missed the substance.
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
His [Donald Trump] urban policy is stop and frisk, law and order. And we need investment and development.
Jesse Jackson
Let nothing and nobody break your spirit. Let the unity in the community remain intact.
Jesse Jackson
When you create more small businesses, you create small entrepreneurship. Out of that comes self-determination and employment.
Jesse Jackson
I know how to run a nationally paced campaign.
Jesse Jackson
I have worked hard to build relationships between Jewish people and black people.
Jesse Jackson
When we take out school psychologists, truant officers, counselors, art, music, and athletics, and bring in the police, the school gets turned into a feeder system for the penal system.
Jesse Jackson
Hymies. And Hymietown.
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
If you don't know what tomorrow holds, you need to know who holds tomorrow!
Jesse Jackson
We must renew the economy from the bottom up, not top down.
Jesse Jackson
We campaigned across the South . . . without a single catcall or boo. It was not until we got north to New York that we began to hear this from Koch, President Reagan, and then Mrs. Ferraro . . . . Some people are making hysteria while I'm making history.
Jesse Jackson
