Malcolm X
It would be the easiest thing in the world for the white man to destroy all Black Muslims.

Malcolm X
How can you thank a man for giving you what's already yours? How then can you thank him for giving you only part of what's already yours?
Malcolm X
If it's necessary to form a Black Nationalist army, we'll form a Black Nationalist army. It'll be ballot or the bullet. It'll be liberty or it'll be death.
Malcolm X
What does a black man look like begging for a cup of coffee in a white restaurant, and doesn't have a job to back up his - to pay for it when, when - when he does get the coffee? It's putting the cart before the horse.
Malcolm X

Malcolm X
The mother is the first teacher of the child. The message she gives that child, that child gives to the world.
Malcolm X
It is the attitude of the American white man that is making him stand condemned today before the eyes of the entire dark world and even before the eyes of the Europeans. It is his attitude, his haughty, holier-than-thou attitude.
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
