Jesse Jackson

Jesse Jackson
We've removed the ceiling above our dreams. There are no more impossible dreams.
Jesse Jackson
You must never stop dreaming. Face reality, yes. But don't stop with the way things are dream of things as they ought to be. Dream of peace. Peace is rational and reasonable. War is irrational in this age and unwinnable.
Jesse Jackson
That Obama I would like to cut his nuts off.
