Men and women aren’t the same. And they won’t be the same. That doesn’t mean that they can’t be treated fairly.

One man cannot hold another man down in the ditch without remaining down in the ditch with him.

I try to see the good in everybody, and I don’t care who people are as long as they’re themselves, whatever that is.

That all men are equal is a proposition to which, at ordinary times, no sane human being has ever given his assent.

I think it is a sin to look at another person as inferior to yourself because of race or because of ethnic background, and I think the greatest thing to do is to pray that God will give you love for them, and I do.

Injustice is relatively easy to bear; what stings is justice.

Hong Kong is a wonderful, mixed-up town where you’ve got great food and adventure. First and foremost, it’s a great place to experience China in a relatively accessible way.

A man is more frank and sincere with his emotions than a woman. We girls, I’m afraid, have a tendency to hide our feelings.

People from all over the world come to London wanting to make their own mark on it, and they add to the energy and vitality of the capital. It’s got a bit busier since the ’60s, but the more the merrier!

Women will only have true equality when men share with them the responsibility of bringing up the next generation.

I wish people would love everybody else the way they love me. It would be a better world.

The way people look at me these days – that’s the same way I looked at President Obama before I met him. We tend to forget that people who’ve attained a certain position are human.

We must begin seeing other creatures as equal. Existence makes us all equal.

Above all, this country is our own. Nobody has to get up in the morning and worry what his neighbors think of him. Being a Jew is no problem here.

People who have been hardworking, tax paying, those people ought to be given an opportunity to be on a track that leads towards citizenship, and if that happened, then they wouldn’t be prey to the employers who say, ‚We want you because we know that you work for a salary we could not lawfully pay anyone else.‘

I didn’t know any gay people in my childhood.

I hate the way they portray us in the media. If you see a black family it says they’re looting, if you see a white family it says they’re looking for food.

Man, all lives matter.

Nothing is pleasant that is not spiced with variety.

Eternal principles that govern happiness apply equally to all.

The fact is that I find more most men are more open, more generous, and much more stimulating than the majority of females I know.

To the best of my judgment, I have labored for, and not against, the Union. As I have not felt, so I have not expressed any harsh sentiment towards our Southern brethren. I have constantly declared, as I really believed, the only difference between them and us is the difference of circumstances.

I think there’s more women that watch me than men, but I don’t look at myself as just a minister to women. My ministry began that way, but I really feel like the Word of God is for everybody.

When you truly accept that those children in some far off place in the global village have the same value as you in God’s eyes or even in just your eyes, then your life is forever changed; you see something that you can’t un-see.

Poverty must not be a bar to learning and learning must offer an escape from poverty.

Difference of opinion is advantageous in religion. The several sects perform the office of a Censor – over each other.

It were not best that we should all think alike; it is difference of opinion that makes horse races.

There was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools and she was bused to school every day. That little girl was me.

All of these young people have some kind of potential in them. And if we don’t invest in them as a nation, regardless of where they come from or what color they are, if we don’t invest in them, we lose.

If you are an American, you must allow all ideas to circulate freely in your community, not merely your own.

Then not only custom, but also nature affirms that to do is more disgraceful than to suffer injustice, and that justice is equality.

From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.

We still have many neighborhoods that are racially identified. We still have many schools that even though the days of state-enforced segregation are gone, segregation because of geographical boundaries remains.

You’re morally tainted if you don’t treat both the accuser and the accused with fairness and with respect, and with due process.

I love stories about women.

With patient and firm determination, I am going to press on for jobs. I’m going to press on for equality. I’m going to press on for the sake of our children. I’m going to press on for the sake of all those families who are struggling right now. I don’t have time to feel sorry for myself. I don’t have time to complain. I am going to press on.

My mother was a dominant force in our family. And I always saw her as the leader. And that was great for me as a young woman, because I never saw that women had to be dominated by men.

We are all different. There is no such thing as a standard or run-of-the-mill human being, but we share the same human spirit.

Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another.

Gentleness, self-sacrifice and generosity are the exclusive possession of no one race or religion.

I’ve never been a feminist.

It’s absolutely normal that different human beings want to go different ways.

I feel that there are a few things in the world without cultural barriers.

Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn’t matter which color does the hating. It’s just plain wrong.

Like so many American families, our families weren’t asking for much. They didn’t begrudge anyone else’s success or care that others had much more than they did… in fact, they admired it.

If we do not lift up women and families, everyone will fall short.

If you’ve ever hauled a 28-pound two-year-old around New York, you’ll find that men fold at the knees a lot quicker than women.

Until blacks and whites see each other as brother and sister, we will not have parity. It’s very clear.

You definitely want your kids to understand their heritage, but I don’t want my kids to just focus on being black. They are people. I don’t want them to judge other people or to be judged. I want them to be good people, so good people will treat them accordingly. I preach that to my kids and everything else falls into place.

I will far rather see the race of man extinct than that we should become less than beasts by making the noblest of God’s creation, woman, the object of our lust.

It has always been my belief that a man should do his best, regardless of how much he receives for his services, or the number of people he may be serving or the class of people served.

Yeah, I did see where the people dissing me were coming from. But, it’s like, anything that happened in the past between black and white, I can’t really speak on it, because I wasn’t there. I don’t feel like me being born the color I am makes me any less of a person.

I’m going to try to unite all Americans.

If you want to make computers that really work, create a design team composed only of healthy, active women with lots else to do in their lives, and give them carte blanche.

‚Obama and Biden want to raise taxes by a trillion dollars.‘ Guess what? Yes, we do in one regard: We want to let that trillion dollar tax cut expire so the middle class doesn’t have to bear the burden of all that money going to the super-wealthy. That’s not a tax raise. That’s called fairness where I come from.

All partisan movements add to the fullness of our understanding of society as a whole. They never detract; or, in any case, one must not allow them to do so. Experience adds to experience.

For a while… to be an evangelical meant you were a white Republican, and you were against this and against that. I don’t want to be put into that mold, because then people judge you before they even listen… I don’t want to divide the very people I am trying to reach.

I do not expect the white media to create positive black male images.

It has always been a mystery to me how men can feel themselves honoured by the humiliation of their fellow beings.

The next time some academics tell you how important diversity is, ask how many Republicans there are in their sociology department.

Let’s teach kids, at the kindergarten level, what the contributions of people of color were to building the United States of America.
