Quotes by Malcolm X

The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.
You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it.
Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery.
Malcolm X Speaks, 1965
Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it.
Malcolm X Speaks, 1965
Power never takes a back step - only in the face of more power.
Malcolm X Speaks, 1965
Sitting at the table doesn't make you a diner, unless you eat 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.
Malcolm X Speaks, 1965
Time is on the side of the oppressed today, it's against the oppressor. Truth is on the side of the oppressed today, it's against the oppressor. You don't need anything else.
Malcolm X Speaks, 1965
Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change.
Malcolm X Speaks, 1965
You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.
Malcolm X Speaks, 1965
