More quotes by Malcolm X
History is a people's memory, and without a memory, man is demoted to the lower animals.
Malcolm X
So over you is the greatest enemy a man can have — and that is fear. I know some of you are afraid to listen to the truth — you have been raised on fear and lies. But I am going to preach to you the truth until you are free of that fear...
Malcolm X
We do not condemn the preachers as an individual but we condemn what they teach. We urge that the preachers teach the truth, to teach our people the one important guiding rule of conduct - unity of purpose.
Malcolm X
Negroes just can't judge each other according to color, because we are all colors, all complexions.
Malcolm X
Whenever I walk the street and see people ready to get with it, that's my reward.
Malcolm X
As long as you are convinced you have never done anything, you can never do anything.
Malcolm X
I go for Mao Tse-tung much more than, than Nehru because I think that Nehru brought his country up in a beggar's role.
Malcolm X
Daring to reach, to climb, to crawl, to scratch, to get back up when you've been knocked down, to push forward - ever forward - to forgive. It means sacrificing everything if necessary, to carve out a place for your own existence. It means living.
Malcolm X
The only persons who really changed history are those who changed men's thinking about themselves.
Malcolm X
The people listening very closely to what the Muslims have always declared. They'll find that in every declaration there's the fact that, the same as, as Moses told Pharaoh, You're doomed if you don't do so and so, or as Daniel told, I think it was Balthazar or Nebuchadnezzar, You are doomed if you don't do so and so.
Malcolm X
Revolutions are never waged singing We Shall Overcome. Revolutions are based upon bloodshed.
Malcolm X
Soon now, as the Negro awakens a little more and sees the vise that he's in, sees the bag that he's in, sees the real game that he's in, then the Negro's going to develop a new tactic.
Malcolm X
When a man understands who he is, who God is, who the devil is... then he can pick himself up out of the gutter he can clean himself up and stand up like a man should before his God.
Malcolm X
The white man is going to keep you integration-minded Negroes cooped up here in America, and when you discover that the white man is a trickster, a devil, that he has no intentions of integrating, then you Negroes will run wild.
Malcolm X
Armed with the knowledge of our past, we can with confidence charter a course for our future. Culture is an indispensable weapon in the freedom struggle. We must take hold of it and forge the future with the past.
Malcolm X
I believe that a psychological, cultural, and philosophical migration back to Africa will solve our problem.
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
I have read where Abraham Lincoln said he wasn't interested in freeing the slaves.
Malcolm X
We declare our right on this earth...to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary.
Malcolm X
We cannot think of uniting with others, until after we have first united among ourselves... One can't unite bananas with scattered leaves.
Malcolm X
