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
Action comes from keeping the heat on. No politician can sit on a hot issue if you make it hot enough.
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
The end is what you want and the means is how you get it.
Saul Alinsky
Do one of three things. One, go find a wailing wall and feel sorry for yourselves. Two, go psycho and start bombing - but this will only swing people to the right. Three, learn a lesson. Go home, organize, build power and at the next convention, you be the delegates.
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
History is a relay of revolutions.
Saul Alinsky
The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength.
Saul Alinsky
Human beings do not like to look squarely into the face of tragedy. Gloom is unpopular.
Saul Alinsky
The greatest enemy of individual freedom is the individual himself.
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
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
No issue can be negotiated unless you first have the clout to compel negotiation.
Saul Alinsky
The very first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom -- Lucifer.
Saul Alinsky
A free and open society is an ongoing conflict, interrupted periodically by compromises.
Saul Alinsky
Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.
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
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
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
Our world has always had two kinds of changers, the social changers and the money changers.
Saul Alinsky
