Malcolm X
If you are not willing to pay the price for freedom, you don't deserve freedom.
Malcolm X
The number one thing that has to be done, [black men] has to be retaught, be given - he has to be reeducated and made to know that he's a man, like anyone else, and then he can stand on his own two feet, like others have done.
Malcolm X
Integration is the method toward obtaining that goal. And what he Negro leader has done is gotten himself wrapped up in the method and has forgotten what the goal is.
Malcolm X
A wise man can play the part of a clown, but a clown can't play the part of a wise man.
Malcolm X
You don't integrate with a sinking ship.
Malcolm X
I'm not a Republican, nor a Democrat, nor an American, and got sense enough to know it.
Malcolm X
To tell a woman not to talk too much was like telling Jesse James not to carry a gun, or a hen not to cackle.
Malcolm X
