Malcolm X
That's not a chip on my shoulder, that's your foot on my neck.

Any group, any group that can't work with all other groups, if they are genuinely interested in solving the problems of the Negro collectively why, I don't think that that group is really sincerely motivated toward reaching a solution.
Malcolm X
If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything.
Malcolm X

Malcolm X
When you are equal with another person, the problem of integration doesn't even arise.
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
