I care about helping to address these problems of social cohesion and understanding what economic problems people think exist.

The proper study of mankind is woman.

No intelligent black man or black woman in his or her right black mind wants white boys and white girls coming to their homes to marry their black sons and daughters.

Society is at odds with itself.

The notion that we have even one single veteran living on the streets should be just considered a travesty to all of us.

Anti-Semitism is real in this country.

The trend of opinion among eugenists is that we must make marriage more difficult. Certainly no one who is not a desirable parent should be permitted to produce progeny.

Nationalism has a way of oppressing others.

Well, yeah, people are working in our country. You know what? They’re working two and three jobs, and in our America, people should not have to work more than one job to be able to put food on the table and have a roof over their head.

When I was president, I announced and I still maintain that I can live with Roe v. Wade. I did everything I possibly could as president under that ruling, which I don’t think ought to be changed, to minimize the need for abortions. I think every abortion is a result of a horrible series of errors on the part of people involved.

The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.

As I said last week in the wake of the grand jury decision, I think Ferguson laid bare a problem that is not unique to St. Louis or that area, and is not unique to our time, and that is a simmering distrust that exists between too many police departments and too many communities of color.

I will not sit in a room with black people when the N word is used. I know it was meant to belittle a person, so I will not sit there and have that poison put on me. Now a black person can say, ‚Oh, you know, I can use this word because I’m black.‘

Many churches today have special programs for people who are grieving, and these can be very helpful.

When I ask OGs why there’s so much division in the streets, nobody never really knows. But you know one thing that everybody always mention? A woman.

Every utopia – let’s just stick with the literary ones – faces the same problem: What do you do with the people who don’t fit in?

I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its Churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world.

Something’s very wrong with a nation that would rather spend money on war than take care of its children.

You know, T can stand for anything. T stand for working hard. T stand for loving thy neighbor. T stand for feeding the hungry. T stand for just working, working, working, being happy on the set, you know, lifting everybody’s spirits. T stands for just a nice guy.

Whenever our neighbour’s house is on fire, it cannot be amiss for the engines to play a little on our own.

So many killings of black men in my lifetime. The physical shock is astounding.

Sexism is real in this country.

Mitt Romney subscribes to the cynical logic that says the American dream belongs to some of us but not all of us.

Racism and sexism, misogyny and homophobia, they’re so visible. They’re out in the open. When they’re visible, it’s a lot easier to deal with them.

As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest.

If you see oppression of the poor, and justice and righteousness trampled in a country, do not be astounded.

I was not an activist.

The poorest people are the sweetest people.

I know black people love the idea that we finally have a beautiful, good-looking black president. But if he is doing awful things to us, we should wake up.

Let’s be clear about this, and let’s be clear: we should not be creating incentives to house people in prison. We should be creating incentives instead to shut the revolving door into prison.

You can’t get a contemporary story about what is going on inside government, and how society sees itself, on American TV.

We cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage and the use of contraceptive methods. The teaching of the church is clear, and I am a son of the church, but it is not necessary to talk about these issues all the time.

The white man is destroying the world.

All movements go too far.

There are thousands of boys being wasted daily to our country through being left to become characterless, and, therefore, useless wasters, a misery to themselves and an eyesore and a danger to the nation. They could be saved if only the right surroundings or environment were given to them at the receptive time of their lives.

Bigotry is the sacred disease.

Hate crime is not new in the United States.

I’ve been actually really very pleased to see how much awareness was raised around bullying, and how deeply it affects everyone. You know, you don’t have to be the loser kid in high school to be bullied. Bullying and being picked on comes in so many different forms.

Slavery is founded in the selfishness of man’s nature – opposition to it is his love of justice. These principles are an eternal antagonism; and when brought into collision so fiercely, as slavery extension brings them, shocks and throes and convulsions must ceaselessly follow.

In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.

No good is ever done to society by the pictorial representation of its diseases.

Capital punishment is as fundamentally wrong as a cure for crime as charity is wrong as a cure for poverty.

Patriot: the person who can holler the loudest without knowing what he is hollering about.

No one is pro-abortion.

This administration here and now declares unconditional war on poverty.

If people continue to feel like Democrats are looking after poor folks and Republicans are looking after rich folks and nobody is looking after me, then we don’t get a lot of stuff done. And the trend lines evidence the fact that folks have gotten squeezed. And obviously, 2007, 2008 really ripped open for people how vulnerable they were.

All History is current; all injustice continues on some level, somewhere in the world.

Our position is that we do not accept conditions of any kind which may affect the independence and sovereignty of our country just with the view to solve economic problems existing between the United States and Cuba.

Unfortunately, the people of Louisiana are not racists.

What we have found in this country, and maybe we’re more aware of it now, is one problem that we’ve had, even in the best of times, and that is the people who are sleeping on the grates, the homeless, you might say, by choice.

I am no supporter of factory labor for children, but I have never joined with those who clamored against proper work of children on farms outside their school hours.

Poverty is the worst form of violence.

When I read about the way in which library funds are being cut and cut, I can only think that American society has found one more way to destroy itself.

The ‚Third World‘ is a term I don’t like very much because we’re all one world. I want people to know that the largest part of humanity is suffering.

The honest poor can sometimes forget poverty. The honest rich can never forget it.

In matters of truth and justice, there is no difference between large and small problems, for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same.

In a summer marked by instability in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, I know the world also took notice of the small American city of Ferguson, Missouri – where a young man was killed, and a community was divided. So yes, we have our own racial and ethnic tensions.

The thing that I fear discriminating against is humor and truth.

Freedom is not enough.

I think unconscious bias is one of the hardest things to get at.

The capitalist system is about taking from the Earth and from the other great commodity, labour. What’s happening with this system is that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, and the only way out of it is supposed to be growth. But growth is debt. It’s going to make the situation worse.
