From Malcolm X

Stumbling is not falling.

From Malcolm X

You show me a capitalist, and I'll show you a bloodsucker.

From Malcolm X

The Negro revolution is controlled by foxy white liberals, by the Government itself. But the Black Revolution is controlled only by God.

From Malcolm X

It's got to be the ballot or the bullet. The ballot or the bullet. If you're afraid to use an expression like that, you should get back in the cotton patch, you should get back in the alley.

From Malcolm X

From Malcolm X
