Quotes by Jesse Jackson
Today's students can put dope in their veins or hope in their brains. ... If they can conceive it and believe it, they can achieve it. They must know it is not their aptitude but their attitude that will determine their altitude.
Jackson, Jesse
America is not like a blanket-one piece of unbroken cloth, the same color, the same texture, the same size. America is more like a quilt-many patches, many pieces, many colors, many sizes, all woven and held together by a common thread.
Jackson, Jesse
When we're unemployed, we're called lazy; when the whites are unemployed it's called a depression.
Jackson, Jesse
Never look down on anybody unless you're helping him up.
Jackson, Jesse
