More quotes by James Brown
Sometimes, you like to let the hair do the talking!
James Brown
Thank God for the journey.
James Brown

James Brown
You got to live for yourself, yourself and nobody else.
James Brown

James Brown
The one thing that can solve most of our problems is dancing.
James Brown
When I'm on stage, I'm trying to do one thing: bring people joy. Just like church does. People don't go to church to find trouble, they go there to lose it.
James Brown
If you don't get it the first time, back up and try it again.

James Brown
My music wasn't written by Mozart, Beethoven, Bach or Schubert. It's written by God and me. They go a one and a two and up. We start on the downbeat. Bam! And that's where we got them.
James Brown
Everybody over there, get on up. Everybody out there, get into it. Everybody right there, get involved.
James Brown
Money won't change you, but time will take you out.
James Brown
Retire for what? What would I do? I made my name as a person that is helping. I'm like Moses in the music business.
James Brown
I taught them everything they know, but not everything I know.
James Brown
Tell the politicians and the hustlers: live and let live.
James Brown
You can't teach others if you are living the same way.
James Brown
