Leadership has a harder job to do than just choose sides. It must bring sides together.
Jesse Jackson
No one should negotiate their dreams. Dreams must be free to fly high. No government, no legislature, has a right to limit your dreams. You should never agree to surrender your dreams.
Jesse Jackson
Our dreams must be stronger than our memories. We must be pulled by our dreams, rater than pushed by our memories.

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

Leadership cannot just go along to get along. Leadership must meet the moral challenge of the day

The white, the Hispanic, the black, the Arab, the Jew, the woman, the Native American, the small farmer, the businessperson, the environmentalist, the peace activist, the young, the old, the lesbian, the gay and the disabled make up the American quilt.
