Jesse Jackson

America is not a blanket woven from one thread, one color, one cloth.

We must not measure greatness from the mansion down, but from the manger up.

Time is neutral and does not change things. With courage and initiative, leaders change things.

There's a whole bunch of unfinished stuff. Then I've got books of lyrics. I find it frustrating to finish a song and not be able to record it... so I don't write a million songs.

Before I die, I will preach to the Muslims in the Arab world. I will preach in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. I will preach in Tehran. I will do it under the umbrella of God. And see its impact.
