So here we are today with a new conversation. When University of Georgia plays Georgia Tech, it's uniform color versus skin color. We have - we've overcome that level of racial fear.
If you don't know what tomorrow holds, you need to know who holds tomorrow!
Time is neutral and does not change things. With courage and initiative, leaders change things.
Your children need your presence more than your presents.
Deliberation and debate is the way you stir the soul of our democracy.
Ronald Reagan was older than I was when he ran for president.
A check or credit card, a Gucci bag strap, anything of value will do. Give as you live.
America is not a blanket woven from one thread, one color, one cloth.
When we're unemployed, we're called lazy; when the whites are unemployed it's called a depression.
Great things happen in small places. Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Jesse Jackson was born in Greenville.
We must all learn a good lesson - how to live together. That is the new challenge of the new world... learning to co-exist and not co-annihilate.
The great responsibility that we have today is to put the poor and the near poor back on front of the American agenda.
Leadership cannot just go along to get along. Leadership must meet the moral challenge of the day.
I'm not wasting my time with any more non-straight-talking candidates.
I am not a perfect servant. I am a public servant doing my best against the odds. As I develop and serve, be patient. God is not finished with me yet.
At the end of the day, we must go forward with hope and not backward by fear and division.
If the American people in a matter of months can love the people of Kuwait, whom they have not seen, they can love the people of our nation's capital just as well.
I take my role seriously as a pastor.
Keep hope alive!
I had to steal to survive.
A man who cannot be enticed by money or intimidated by the threat of jail or death has two of the strongest weapons that anyone has to offer.
When journalists and politicians speak of a dwindling middle class that's under economic assault and a poor community that's getting bigger, they're talking about Ferguson. Independent of the racial demographics and dynamics of Ferguson, Missouri, there's a 'Ferguson' near you.
So many bright stars, bright in life, burn out quickly.
I have worked hard to build relationships between Jewish people and black people.

Conservatives and liberals can find common ground.
Watch the walls come down, whether it's in the South or on Wall Street. When the walls come down, what do we find? More markets, more talent, more capital and growth. Which means that the race and sex discrimination stunt economic growth. It's not good for capitalism. It's not good for America's growth. And it's not morally right.
What is the American dream? The American dream is one big tent. One big tent. And on that big tent you have four basic promises: equal protection under the law, equal opportunity, equal access, and fair share.
My very first recollection of life on earth was waking up in bed with my mother, and she was showing me a picture of my father, Charles Jackson, with a group of soldiers.
Those powers that control the tent are not threatened at all by any activity that you engage in, in the shadows, that's not moving toward the tent. And I am rather convinced that we have a generation that is so preoccupied with life in the shadows, they never even focus on getting to the sunlight where you open up the big tent.
The American people on the ground need a clearer, stronger, Lyndon B. Johnson-type voice from their president.
We must all learn a good lesson - how to live together.
It is a historical error for those who were not there to just refer to August 28th as 'I Have a Dream' speech day. That is a real disservice to those who were there. It was a sad day. It was not a celebration environment.
Today's students can put dope in their veins or hope in their brains. If they can conceive it and believe it, they can achieve it. They must know it is not their aptitude but their attitude that will determine their altitude.
