Quotes from Michael Jackson

Lies run sprints, but the truth runs marathons.

I love my family very much. I wish I could see them a little more often than I do. But we understand because we're a show business family and we all work.

I just wish I could understand my father.

It's a complete lie, why do people buy these papers? It's not the truth I'm here to say. You know, don't judge a person, do not pass judgement, unless you have talked to them one on one. I don't care what the story is, do not judge them because it is a lie.

Prejudice is ignorance.

Together we can make a change in the world. Together we can help to stop racism. Together we can help to stop prejudice…we can help the world live without fear. It is our only hope, and without hope.. we are lost

We are behaving like people without compassion and love for the most vulnerable section of society. The children of the universe are without a spokesperson, they are voiceless…We are all touched by the atrocities committed against children: sexual, physical abuse, child slave labor, educational neglect. We feel ashamed. Angry. Appalled. But there is no action…No action.
