I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against.
-- Malcolm X
Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change.
-- Malcolm X
Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it.
-- Malcolm X

-- Malcolm X
The future belongs to those who prepare for it today.
-- Malcolm X
When a person places the proper value on freedom, there is nothing under the sun that he will not do to acquire that freedom. Whenever you hear a man saying he wants freedom, but in the next breath he is going to tell you what he won't do to get it, or what he doesn't believe in doing in order to get it, he doesn't believe in freedom. A man who believes in freedom will do anything under the sun to acquire... or preserve his freedom.
-- Malcolm X
If you don't stand up for something, you'll fall for anything.
-- Malcolm X
Any time you see someone more successful than you are, they are doing something you aren't.
-- Malcolm X
If you're not ready to die for it, put the word "freedom" out of your vocabulary.
-- Malcolm X
I believe in the brotherhood of man, all men, but I don’t believe in brotherhood with anybody who doesn’t want brotherhood with me. I believe in treating people right, but I’m not going to waste my time trying to treat somebody right who doesn’t know how to return the treatment.
-- Malcolm X
I believe in recognizing every human being as a human being, neither white, black, brown nor red. When you are dealing with humanity as one family, there's no question of integration or intermarriage. It's just one human being marrying another human being, or one human being living around and with another human being.
-- Malcolm X
You can’t separate peace from freedom, because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.
-- Malcolm X
