More quotes by Jesse Jackson
No one should negotiate their dreams. Dreams must be free to fly high.
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
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
From seeds of his body blossomed the flower that liberated a people and touched the soul of a nation.
Jesse Jackson
Black and Jewish leaders have been a coalition of conscience.
Jesse Jackson
I want to cut his nuts off.
Jesse Jackson
In many ways Africa subsidised America and Europe's development.
Jesse Jackson
Negroes' problem is that they do not have their egos. That's why our churches end up having a white service, because our preacher is not arrogant enough to take God's word, so he have to go and get some white fellow's agenda and put it in his church.
Jesse Jackson
Inclusion is not a matter of political correctness. It is the key to growth.
Jesse Jackson
Let nothing and nobody break your spirit. Let the unity in the community remain intact.
Jesse Jackson
No one wants to see self-destructive riots because there's no future in riots.
Jesse Jackson
Many have fought for and even lost their lives to end segregation, to win the right to vote. It disappoints me to now have to cajole people to register and to vote.
Jesse Jackson
Look at the coded language the Right is using against President Barack Obama. Openly calling him a liar in Congress, saying he is 'not a Christian, he was not born here, he is not one of us.' That makes addressing such issues trickier for the first African-American in the White House.
Jesse Jackson
When everyone is included, everyone wins.
Jesse Jackson
What we have to be judged by is the work we try to do. It's public service, not perfect service.
Jesse Jackson
The white Christian church never raised to the heights of Christ. It stayed within the limit of culture.
Jesse Jackson
If you wear a hoodie but aren't registered to vote, you got the symbolism but missed the substance.
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
The solution [to a crisis pregnancy] is not to kill the innocent baby but to deal with the mother's values and her attitudes toward life.
Jesse Jackson
Iraq will drive American agenda for a long time because Iraq policy has so damaged America in the Middle East region, left us isolated. We are there now by brute strength, we are not there because we are desired.
Jesse Jackson
