Only The Nose Knows Where The Nose

Why Should They Ask Me To Put On A Uniform And Go Ten Thousand Miles From Home And Drop Bombs And Bullets On Brown People In Vietnam While So-called Negro People In Louisville Are Treated Like Dogs And Denied Simple Human Rights?

Brooding Over Blunders Is The Biggest Blunder.

I Came Back To Louisville After The Olympics With My Shiny Gold Medal. Went Into A Luncheonette Where Black Folks Couldn't Eat. Thought I'd Put Them On The Spot. I Sat Down And Asked For A Meal. The Olympic Champion Wearing His Gold Medal. They Said, "we Don't Serve Niggers Here." I Said, "that's Okay, I Don't Eat 'em." But They Put Me Out In The Street. So I Went Down To The River, The Ohio River, And Threw My Gold Medal In It.

I Am Grateful For All My Victories, But I Am Especially Grateful For My Losses, Because They Only Made Me Work Harder.

I'm Most Proud Of My Family.
