Text Quotes
Health is a human right, not a privilege to be purchased  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) I don’t measure America by its achievement but by its potential  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) My God, what do we want? What does any human being want?  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) My greatest political asset, which professional politicians fear, is my mouth, out of which come all kinds of things one shouldn’t always discuss for reasons of political expediency,  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) ... all Americans are the prisoners of racial prejudice  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) You don’t make progress by standing on the sidelines, whimpering and complaining. You make progress by implementing ideas  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) The liberals in the House strongly resemble liberals I have known through the last two decades in the civil rights conflict. When it comes time to show on which side they will be counted, they excuse themselves  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) We have never seen health as a right. It has been conceived as a privilege, available only to those who can afford it. This is the real reason the American health care system is in such a scandalous state  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) That’s what’s wrong with the country. There are too many ‘good soldiers’ accepting too many bad decisions  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) I’ve always met more discrimination being a woman than being Black...men are men.  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) The emotional, sexual, and psychological stereotyping of females begins when the doctor says: It’s a girl.  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) I am and always will be a catalyst for change  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) When morality comes up against profit, it is seldom that profit loses  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) The minorities have been confined to the city by a moat of bigotry  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) Service is the rent that you pay for room on this earth  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) Rhetoric never won a revolution yet  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) Any time things appear to be going better, you have overlooked something  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) Defeat should not be the source of discouragement, but a stimulus to keep plotting  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) Of my two handicaps, being female put many more obstacles in my path than being black  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) Congress seems drugged and inert most of the time. Even when the problems it ignores build up to crises and erupt in strikes, riots, and demonstrations, it has not moved. Its idea of meeting a problem is to hold hearings or, in extreme cases, to appoint a commission  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) Racism keeps people who are being managed from finding out the truth through contact with each other  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) We have been so patient and loyal... and what has it gotten us? We want our full share now  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) That I am a national figure because I was the first person in 192 years to be at once a congressman, black, and a woman proves, I would think, that our society is not yet either just or free  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) At present, our country needs women’s idealism and determination, perhaps more in politics than anywhere else  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) Tremendous amounts of talent are lost to our society just because that talent wears a skirt  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) There is little place in the political scheme of things for an independent, creative personality, for a fighter. Anyone who takes that role must pay a price  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) The difference between de jure and de facto segregation is the difference between open, forthright bigotry and the shamefaced kind that works through unwritten agreements between real estate dealers, school officials, and local politicians  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) It is not heroin or cocaine that makes one an addict, it is the need to escape from a harsh reality. There are more television addicts, more baseball and football addicts, more movie addicts, and certainly more alcohol addicts in this country than there are narcotics addicts  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) Congress seems drugged and inert most of the time... its idea of meeting a problem is to hold hearings or, in extreme cases, to appoint a commission  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes) I am not antiwhite, because I understand that white people, like black ones, are victims of a racist society. They are products of their time and place  (Shirley Chisholm Quotes)
