Jesse Jackson
We must not measure greatness from the mansion down, but from the manger up. Jesus said that we should not be judged by the bark we wear but by the fruit that we bear. Jesus said that we must measure greatness by how we treat the least of these.
Jesse Jackson

Jesse Jackson
Leaders must be tough enough to fight, tender enough to cry, human enough to make mistakes, humble enough to admit them, strong enough to absorb the pain, and resilient enough to bounce back and keep on moving.
Jesse Jackson
If you don't know what tomorrow holds, you need to know who holds tomorrow!
Jesse Jackson
