Quote DB :: Authors :: Clarence Thomas :: View Quote View Quote "I don't believe in quotas. America was founded on a philosophy of individual rights, not group rights." - Copy to Clipboard   --  Clarence Thomas Listed in: Race Add Quote To Your Quote List   Rating: 4.43  Rate Quote 7 votes submitted Your Name: Friend's Email: Sponsored Links Top 5 quotes from Clarence Thomas "There can be no doubt that racial paternalism and its unintended consequences can be as poisonous and pernicious as any other form of discrimination." "While the romanticized ideal of universal public education resonates with the cognoscenti who oppose vouchers, poor urban families just want the best education for their children, who will certainly need it to function in our high-tech and advanced society." "Good manners will open doors that the best education cannot." Top 5 quotes from Race "I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man." "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." "Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love." "People sometimes ask if I have tried to convince black 'leaders' to take a different view on racial issues. Of course not. I wouldn't spend my time trying to persuade the mafia to give up crime. Why should I spend time trying to convince race hustlers to give up victimhood? It's their bread and butter." "I don't believe in quotas. America was founded on a philosophy of individual rights, not group rights."
