The Autobiography of Malcolm X

by Malcolm X

So early in life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise.

anytime you find someone more successful than you are, especially when you’re both engaged in the same business—you know they’re doing something that you aren’t.

that in order to get something you had to look as though you already had something.

“People’s deeds I believe in, Miss—not their words.”

“People don’t realize how a man’s whole life can be changed by one book.”
