More quotes by Jesse Jackson
If you fall behind, run faster. Never give up, never surrender, and rise up against the odds.
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
When everyone is included, everyone wins.
Jesse Jackson
You cannot have a diplomatic offensive without talking.
Jesse Jackson
People always grow and mature.
Jesse Jackson
When blacks are unemployed, they are considered lazy and apathetic. When whites are unemployed, it's considered a depression.
Jesse Jackson
The burden of being black is that you have to be superior just to be equal. But the glory of it is that, once you achieve, you have achieved, indeed.
Jesse Jackson
The great responsibility that we have today is to put the poor and the near poor back on front of the American agenda.
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
Our goal was not freedom. Freedom was the necessary prerequisite to get to equality.
Jesse Jackson
No one wants to see self-destructive riots because there's no future in riots.
Jesse Jackson
I had gained a greater appreciation of hearing the concerns of woman, doctors, and so many others.
Jesse Jackson
You are not going to revive the unemployment of 26 million Americans with tax cuts.
Jesse Jackson
I've paid my dues. I've earned your votes. Send me.
Jesse Jackson
Watch the walls come down, whether it's in the South or on Wall Street. When the walls come down, what do we find? More markets, more talent, more capital and growth. Which means that the race and sex discrimination stunt economic growth. It's not good for capitalism. It's not good for America's growth. And it's not morally right.
Jesse Jackson
Deliberation and debate is the way you stir the soul of our democracy.
Jesse Jackson
Those powers that control the tent are not threatened at all by any activity that you engage in, in the shadows, that's not moving toward the tent. And I am rather convinced that we have a generation that is so preoccupied with life in the shadows, they never even focus on getting to the sunlight where you open up the big tent.
Jesse Jackson
If you try you may fail, if you don't try you're guaranteed to fail.
Jesse Jackson
At the end of the day, we're defined by our predicament, not by the sides of town.
Jesse Jackson
Ronald Reagan was older than I was when he ran for president.
