More quotes by Jesse Jackson
Politicians refuse to modernize schools, they cut out midnight basketball, but build all these new jails. First class jails, second class schools. This is zero tolerance.
Jesse Jackson
The trouble is that nonviolence is so often defined as refusal to fight, and that is the American definition of cowardice. In fact, marching unarmed against the guns and dogs of the police requires more courage than does aggression. The perverted idea of manhood coming from the barrel of a gun is what keeps people from understanding nonviolence.
Jesse Jackson
If you try you may fail, if you don't try you're guaranteed to fail.
Jesse Jackson
If you fall behind, run faster. Never give up, never surrender, and rise up against the odds.
Jesse Jackson
People like to say don't abort, adopt. But I'm saying don't strip, scholarship.
Jesse Jackson
So many bright stars, bright in life, burn out quickly.
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
I cast my bread on the waters long ago. Now it's time for you to send it back to me - toasted and buttered on both sides.
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
I was blessed to go abroad and bring Americans home from jail in Syria, and Iraq, and Cuba, and Yugoslavia, and Liberia, those are high moments of my life.
Jesse Jackson
President Obama projects a strong offense, but he faces a rebellious Congress focused on state's rights.
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
[Donald Trump] says if he wins, he`ll accept the outcome. If he lose, he will not accept the outcome. That is playing by two set of rules that is not very fair.
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
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
The only time you should look down at someone, is when you are helping them up.
Jesse Jackson
When everyone is included, everyone wins.
Jesse Jackson
Abortion is black genocide...What happens to the mind of a person and the moral fabric of a nation that accepts the aborting of the life of a baby without a pang of conscience?
Jesse Jackson
Never look down on anybody unless you're helping him up.
Jesse Jackson
At the end of the day, we're defined by our predicament, not by the sides of town.
Jesse Jackson
