More quotes by James Brown
I'm a ghetto man who made good. I never forgot where I came from and who put me on top - God and Jack The Rapper.
James Brown
In our advanced technological age, most people deny the possibility of miracles.... Miracles don't happen, we are told, because they contravene the laws of nature and worse, they sound religious! Yet we live and move in a sea of miracle.
James Brown
It doesn't matter how you travel it, it's the same road. It doesn't get any easier when you get bigger, it gets harder. And it will kill you if you let it.
James Brown
Tell the politicians and the hustlers: live and let live.
James Brown
Thank God for the journey.
James Brown
You got to live for yourself, yourself and nobody else.
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
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
Sometimes, you like to let the hair do the talking!
James Brown
Music has to breathe and sweat. You have to play it live.
James Brown
I don't really care what people think, ... I just do my own thing. ... I like being loud and letting people know I'm there.
James Brown
I got a wife who likes expensive things, so she takes all the cash.
James Brown
Sometimes you struggle so hard to feed your family one way, you forget to feed them the other way, with spiritual nourishment. Everybody needs that.
James Brown
As I always said, if people wanted to know who James Brown is, all they have to do is listen to my music.
James Brown
I've got soul and I'm super bad.
James Brown
I've outdone anyone you can name - Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Strauss. Irving Berlin, he wrote 1,001 tunes. I wrote 5,500.
James Brown
I taught them everything they know, but not everything I know.
James Brown
If you don't get it the first time, back up and try it again.
James Brown
I'm kidding about having only a few dollars. I might have a few dollars more.
James Brown
