More quotes by Saul Alinsky
Power just goes to two poles — to those who've got money, and those who've got people.
Saul Alinsky
Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.
Saul Alinsky
In a fight almost anything goes. It almost reaches the point where you stop to apologize if a chance blow lands above the belt.
Saul Alinsky
The most unethical of all means is the non-use of any means.
Saul Alinsky
If people don't think they have the power to solve their problems, they won't even think about how to solve them.
Saul Alinsky
They have the guns and therefore we are for peace and for reformation through the ballot. When we have the guns then it will be through the bullet.
Saul Alinsky
The threat is generally more terrifying than the thing itself.
Saul Alinsky
The classic statement on polarization comes from Christ: 'He that is not with me is against me.' (Luke 11:23) He allowed no middle ground to the moneychangers in the Temple. One acts decisively only in the conviction that all the angels are on one side and all the devils on the other.
Saul Alinsky
The human spirit glows from that small inner light of doubt whether we are right, while those who believe with certainty that they possess the right are dark inside and darken the world outside with cruelty, pain, and injustice.
Saul Alinsky
The greatest enemy of individual freedom is the individual himself.
Saul Alinsky
Change means movement. Movement means friction.
Saul Alinsky

Saul Alinsky
One acts decisively only in the conviction that all the angels are on one side and all the devils on the other.
Saul Alinsky
The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength.
Saul Alinsky
A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.
Saul Alinsky
Once you accept your own death, all of a sudden you're free to live. You no longer care about your reputation. You no longer care except so far as your life can be used tactically to promote a cause you believe in.
Saul Alinsky
The first step in community organization is community disorganization. The disruption of the present organization is the first step toward community organization. Present arrangements must be disorganized if they are to be displace by new patterns.... All change means disorganization of the old and organization of the new.
Saul Alinsky
The prerequisite for an ideology is possession of a basic truth.
Saul Alinsky
A free and open society is an ongoing conflict, interrupted periodically by compromises.
Saul Alinsky
Humor is essential to a successful tactician, for the most potent weapons known to mankind are satire and ridicule.
Saul Alinsky
