This Ain't Fun. But You Watch Me,

I Don't Think That I Or Any Other Negro, As An American Citizen, Should Have To Ask For Anything That Is Rightfully His. We Are Demanding That We Just Be Given The Things That Are Rightfully Ours And That We're Not Looking For Anything Else.

If I Had To Choose Between Baseball’s Hall Of Fame And First Class Citizenship For All Of My People. I Would Say First-class Citizenship.

I Am Not Concerned With Being Liked Or Disliked. I Am Concerned With Being Respected

I Know That I Am A Black Man In A White World. . . I Know That I Never Had It Made.

Baseball Is Like A Poker Game. Nobody Wants To Quit When He's Losing; Nobody Wants You To Quit When You're Ahead.
