Adversity
Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change.
Education
Without education, you're not going anywhere in this world.
Freedom
The only way we'll get freedom for ourselves is to identify ourselves with every oppressed people in the world. We are blood brothers to the people of Brazil, Venezuela, Haiti, Cuba -- yes Cuba too.
Greed
You show me a capitalist, and I'll show you a bloodsucker.
Patriotism
You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who says it.
Purpose
If we don't stand for something, we may fall for anything.
Right and Rightness
We declare our right on this earth to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary.
Violence
If violence is wrong in America, violence is wrong abroad. If it is wrong to be violent defending black women and black children and black babies and black men, then it is wrong for America to draft us, and make us violent abroad in defense of her. And if it is right for America to draft us, and teach us how to be violent in defense of her, then it is right for you and me to do whatever is necessary to defend our own people right here in this country.
