White people just don't want their slaves to be free. That's the whole thing.

I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want.

Old age is just a record of one's whole life.

Cassius Clay is a name that white people gave to my slave master. Now that I am free, that I don't belong anymore to anyone, that I'm not a slave anymore, I gave back their white name, and I chose a beautiful African one.

We who follow the teachings of Elijah Muhammad don't want to be forced to integrate. Integration is wrong. We don't want to live with the white man; that's all.

The white man is destroying the world.
