More quotes by Malcolm X
A new world order is in the making, and it is up to us to prepare ourselves that we may take our rightful place in it.
Malcolm X
The thing that has made the so-called Negro in America fail, more than any other thing, is your, my, lack of knowledge concerning history. We know less about history than anything else.
Malcolm X
A man who believes in freedom will do anything under the sun to acquire, or preserve his freedom.
Malcolm X
Times change so quickly that if you and I don't keep up with the times, we'll find ourselves with an umbrella in our hand, over our head, when the sun is out. Or we'll find ourselves standing in the rain, with the umbrella inside the door.
Malcolm X
God is going to punish the white man for his misdeeds toward black people.
Malcolm X
Anytime there's a fire in a negro community and it's burning out of control, you send any one of them, send Whitney Young in to put it out.
Malcolm X
I know that I will not die until my time comes.
Malcolm X
Wyatt [ Walker] doesn't say that as much as Whitney Young does.
Malcolm X
If you are not willing to pay the price for freedom, you don't deserve freedom.
Malcolm X
I'll say nothing against him. At one time the whites in the United States called him a racialist, and extremist, and a Communist. Then the Black Muslims came along and the whites thanked the Lord for Martin Luther King.
Malcolm X
The most disrespected person in America is the black woman. The most unprotected person in America is the black woman. The most neglected person in America is the black woman.
Malcolm X
The Negro revolution is controlled by foxy white liberals, by the Government itself. But the Black Revolution is controlled only by God.
Malcolm X
I think that Abraham Lincoln probably did more to trick negroes than any other man in history.
Malcolm X
It would be the easiest thing in the world for the white man to destroy all Black Muslims.
Malcolm X
Revolution is based on land. Land is the basis of all independence. Land is the basis of freedom, justice, and equality.
Malcolm X
Children have a lesson adults should learn, to not be ashamed of failing, but to get up and try again. Most of us adults are so afraid, so cautious, so 'safe,' and therefore so shrinking and rigid and afraid that it is why so many humans fail. Most middle-aged adults have resigned themselves to failure.
Malcolm X
Respect me, or put me to death.
Malcolm X
America's greatest crime against the black man was not slavery or lynching, but that he was taught to wear a mask of self-hate and self-doubt.
Malcolm X
Stumbling is not falling.
Malcolm X
The American Negro has been entirely brainwashed from ever seeing or thinking of himself, as he should, as a part of the non-white peoples of the world.
Malcolm X
