"A wise man can play the part..." - Quote by Malcolm X

“After you get your freedom, your enemy will respect you.”

“It has taken us that long to get the deaf, dumb, and blind black men in the wilderness of North America to wake up and understand who they are.”

“I myself have never been concerned with whether we are considered known or unknown. It's no problem of ours.”

“Failure is an opportunity. If you blame someone else, there is no end to the blame. Therefore the Master fulfills her own obligations and corrects her own mistakes. She does what she needs to do and demands nothing of others.”

“You already have the precious mixture that will make you well. Use it.”

“A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special.”

“The man who is ostentatious of his modesty is twin to the statue that wears a fig-leaf.”

“The truth is I'm getting old, I said. We already are old, she said with a sigh. What happens is that you don't feel it on the inside, but from the outside everybody can see it.”

“The truth is that the first changes are so slow they pass almost unnoticed, and you go on seeing yourself as you always were, from the inside, but others observe you from the outside.”
