More quotes by Jesse Jackson
Those in blue suits who use thinly veiled race symbols -- when they say welfare and crime and three strikes and anti- affirmative action -- they are sending messages more profound their language.
Jesse Jackson
Ronald Reagan was older than I was when he ran for president.
Jesse Jackson
When it came to the division of power, we did not get from the Jews the slice of cake we deserved... the Jews do not share with us control of wealth, broadcasting stations and other centers of power.
Jesse Jackson
I want to cut his nuts off.
Jesse Jackson
In order for an ideal to become a reality, there must be a person, a personality to translate it.

You really need a renewed commitment for the direct investment of jobs at the bottom.
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
It's not enough to be quiet. Quietness is the absence of noise. We need peace, the presence of justice and to be - and so people here can coexist and live together.
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
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Jesse Jackson
Today's students can put dope in their veins or hope in their brains. If they can conceive it and believe it, they can achieve it. They must know it is not their aptitude but their attitude that will determine their altitude.
Jesse Jackson
Those who write the editorials and those who write the columns, they simply are unaccountable. They're free to impose their cultural politics in the name of freedom of the press.
Jesse Jackson
I've paid my dues. I've earned your votes. Send me.
Jesse Jackson
