"If you don't stand for something, you fall for anything.

I think this might be the original quote.
"Those who stand for nothing fall for anything."
-Alexander Hamilton


Or maybe this is the original-
"You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything"
~Ginger Rogers [1978]


But your quote has been linked to Malcolm X too, but I could not find any information on that to prove if it is true or not.

It's a country song from the early 90's... but the person who was quioted saying it was Steve Bartkowski... its one of my fav. Quotes...
