More quotes by Saul Alinsky
One’s concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one’s personal interest in the issue.
Saul Alinsky
The standards of judgment must be rooted in the whys and wherefores of life as it is lived, the world as it is, not our wished-for fantasy of the world as it should be.
Saul Alinsky
The threat is generally more terrifying than the thing itself.
Saul Alinsky
Life is an adventure of passion, risk, danger, laughter, beauty, love a burning curiosity to go with the action to see what it is all about, to go search for a pattern of meaning, to burn one's bridges because you're never going to go back anyway, and to live to the end.
Saul Alinsky
America's corporations are a spiritual slum, and their arrogance is the major threat to our future as a free society.
Saul Alinsky
My only fixed truth is a belief in people, a conviction that if people have the opportunity to act freely and the power to control their own destinies, they'll generally reach the right decisions.
Saul Alinsky
The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength.
Saul Alinsky
I prize my own independence too much. And philosophically, I could never accept any rigid dogma or ideology, whether it's Christianity or Marxism…The greatest crimes in history have been perpetrated by such religious and political and racial fanatics, from the persecutions of the Inquisition on down to Communist purges and Nazi genocide.
Saul Alinsky
Many of the lower middle class are members of labor unions, churches, bowling clubs, fraternal, service, and nationality organizations. They are organizations and people that must be worked with as one would work with any other part of our populations - with respect, understanding, and sympathy.
Saul Alinsky
A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.
Saul Alinsky
Liberals like people with their heads, radicals like people with both their heads and their hearts.
Saul Alinsky
As an organizer I start from where the world is, as it is, not as I would like it to be.
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
One acts decisively only in the conviction that all the angels are on one side and all the devils on the other.
Saul Alinsky
Democracy is alive, and like any other living thing it either flourishes and grows or withers and dies. There is no in-between. It is freedom and life or dictatorship and death.
Saul Alinsky
Power just goes to two poles — to those who've got money, and those who've got people.
Saul Alinsky
The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.
Saul Alinsky
You cannot meet today's crisis tomorrow.
Saul Alinsky
The greatest enemy of individual freedom is the individual himself.
Saul Alinsky
