3 Sourced Quotes

The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing "God Bless America." No, no, no, God damn America,—that's in the Bible—for killing innocent people. God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme.

Jeremiah Wright

Have the audacity to hope for that child of yours. Have the audacity to hope for that home of yours. Have the audacity to hope for that church of yours. For whatever it is you've been praying for, keep on praying.

Jeremiah Wright

It's easy to hope when there are evidences all around of how good God is. But to have the audacity to hope when that love is not evident... that is a true test.... To take the one string you have left and to have the audacity to hope—make music and praise God on and with whatever it is you've got left, even though you can't see what God is going to do.
