More quotes by Jesse Jackson

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
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

Jesse Jackson
