"I am not an American; I am..." - Quote by Malcolm X

“If you have no critics you'll likely have no success.”

“Every morning when I wake up, now, I regard it as having another borrowed day.”

“I believe that it would be almost impossible to find anywhere in America a black man who has lived further down in the mud of human society than I have; or a black man who has been any more ignorant than I have; or a black man who has suffered more anguish during his life than I have. But it is only after the deepest darkness that the greatest joy can come; it is only after slavery and prison that the sweetest appreciation of freedom can come.”

“Once people take time to find out who I really am you'd be surprised”

“The two Great Unknowns, the two Illustrious Conjecturabilities! They are the best known unknown persons that have ever drawn breath upon the planet.”

“I was born in St. Louis but lived there just for a few minutes in my life.”

“I have come to a resolution myself as I hope every good citizen will, never again to purchase any article of foreign manufacture which can be had of American make, be the difference of price what it may.”

“A man accustomed to American food and American domestic cookery would not starve to death suddenly in Europe, but I think he would gradually waste away, and eventually die.”

“Too many people struggled, suffered, and died to make it possible for every American to exercise their right to vote.”
