If I was a billionaire, I’d be smart with my money.

A black person grows up in this country – and in many places – knowing that racism will be as familiar as salt to the tongue. Also, it can be as dangerous as too much salt. I think that you must struggle for betterment for yourself and for everyone.

He who has great power should use it lightly.

I have a fantasy where Ted Turner is elected President but refuses because he doesn’t want to give up power.

I think we must get rid of slavery, or we must get rid of freedom.

A gender line… helps to keep women not on a pedestal, but in a cage.

Poverty wants some, luxury many, and avarice all things.

Measure your wealth by what you’d have left if you lost all your money.

I believe God wants you to have money to pay your bills, send your kids to college and do charity work and build orphanages. There’s the teaching that we’re supposed to be poor to show that we’re humble. I don’t buy that. I think we’re supposed to be leaders. We’re supposed to excel.

Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago.

My name is Adam Sandler. I’m not particularly talented. I’m not particularly good-looking. And yet I’m a multi-millionaire.

I’m not focused on the gay and lesbian movement.

It is the interest of the commercial world that wealth should be found everywhere.

The United States tyrannizes and pillages the globalized world with its political, economic, technological, and military might.

A friend in power is a friend lost.

I find capitalism repugnant. It is filthy, it is gross, it is alienating… because it causes war, hypocrisy and competition.

This is a wonderful planet, and it is being completely destroyed by people who have too much money and power and no empathy.

I’ve been very lucky, and therefore I owe it to try and reduce the inequity in the world. And that’s kind of a religious belief. I mean, it’s at least a moral belief.

I say to you quite frankly that the time for racial discrimination is over.

What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it.

Happiness is within the reach of everyone, rich or poor. Yet comparatively few people are happy. I believe the reason for this is that the majority don’t recognize happiness even when it is within their grasp.

Swimming has its educational value – mental, moral, and physical – in giving you a sense of mastery over an element, and of power of saving life, and in the development of wind and limb.

Discrimination is a hellhound that gnaws at Negroes in every waking moment of their lives to remind them that the lie of their inferiority is accepted as truth in the society dominating them.

I know I got it made while the masses of black people are catchin‘ hell, but as long as they ain’t free, I ain’t free.
