"[The man] thinks he's being condemned because..." - Quote by Malcolm X

“They don't stand for anything different in South Africa than America stands for. The only difference is over there they preach as well as practice apartheid. America preaches freedom and practices slavery.”

“When the Muslims deliver the indictment of the American system, it is not the white man per se that is being doomed.”

“The short-range involves the long-range. Immediate steps have to be taken to reeducate our people into the, a more real view of political, economic, and social conditions in this country, and our ability in, in a self- improvement program to gain control politically over every community in which we predominate, and also over the economy of that same community as here in Harlem. Instead of all the stores in Harlem being owned by white people, they should be owned and operated by black people.”

“Good leaders must know how to reward those who succeed and know when to retrain, move, or fire ineffective staff.”

“A thoroughbred business man cannot enter heartily upon the business of life without first looking into his accounts.”

“The leader works in the open and the boss in covert. The leader leads, and the boss drives.”

“Regardless of the situation, react with class.”

“There's a part of me that is angry. Not in the sense of, "Gee, George is an angry guy!" I mean, anyone who's been with me five minutes, five years, whatever, they would tell you they've rarely seen me in a moment of anger. Yes, I can become highly irritated in a line that's moving slowly, or with a clerk who's incompetent. But I don't yell. I don't get rude. I am clear about what I expect. In a store, my mother always told me, "Ask for the manager immediately. It changes the tone of the conversation."”

“Weird behavior is natural in smart children, just as curiosity is to a kitten.”
