Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.

From Malcolm X

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

From Malcolm X

If it's lawful to have a rifle club to kill pheasants, it should be just as lawful to have one to kill wolves or dogs that are being sicked on little black babies. In fact, it's constitutional. Article Number Two of the constitution guarantees the right of every citizen to own a rifle or a shot gun.

From 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.

From Malcolm X

Sitting at the table doesn't make you a diner. You must be eating some of what's on that plate. Being here in America doesn't make you an American. Being born here in America doesn't make you an American.

From Malcolm X

You can't hate the roots of a tree and not hate the tree. You can't hate Africa and not hate yourself.

From Malcolm X

America needs to understand Islam, because this is the one religion that erases from its society the race problem. Throughout my travels in the Muslim world, I have met, talked to, even eaten with people who in America would have been considered 'white,' but the 'white' attitude had been removed from their minds by the religion of Islam.
