«Malcolm X»

A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything.

Malcolm X

I believe in the brotherhood of all men, but I don’t believe in wasting brotherhood on anyone who doesn’t want to practice it with me. Brotherhood is a two-way street.

Malcolm X

Envy blinds men and makes it impossible for them to think clearly.

Malcolm X

History is a people’s memory, and without a memory, man is demoted to the lower animals.

Malcolm X

I believe in human beings, and that all human beings should be respected as such, regardless of their color.

Malcolm X

I believe in the brotherhood of man, all men, but I don’t believe in brotherhood with anybody who doesn’t want brotherhood with me. I believe in treating people right, but I’m not going to waste my time trying to treat somebody right who doesn’t know how to return the treatment.

Malcolm X

Despite my firm convictions, I have always been a man who tries to face facts, and to accept the reality of life as new experience and new knowledge unfolds. I have always kept an open mind, a flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of the intelligent search for truth.

Malcolm X

If you have no critics you’ll likely have no success.

Malcolm X

I’m for truth, no matter who tells it. I’m for justice, no matter who it’s for or against.

Malcolm X

My father didn’t know his real name. My father got his name from his grandfather and he got his name from his grandfather and he got it from the slave master.

Malcolm X

Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you’re a man, you take it.

Malcolm X

Truth is on the side of the oppressed.

Malcolm X

Power in defense of freedom is greater than power in behalf of tyranny and oppression, because power, real power, comes from our conviction which produces action, uncompromising action.

Malcolm X

Stumbling is not falling.

Malcolm X

The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses.

Malcolm X

Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.

Malcolm X

In all our deeds, the proper value and respect for time determines success or failure.

Malcolm X

There is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time.

Malcolm X

You’re not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can’t face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who says it.

Malcolm X

You can’t separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.

Malcolm X

You don’t have to be a man to fight for freedom. All you have to do is to be an intelligent human being.
