More quotes by 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
You can't teach others if you are living the same way.
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
Like Christ said, love thee one another. I learned to do that, and I learned to respect and be appreciative and thankful for what I had.
James Brown
Thank God for the journey.
James Brown
Money won't change you, but time will take you out.
James Brown
When you touch me, good God.
James Brown

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
What everybody's looking for today, they're looking for escape-ism.
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
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
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'm kidding about having only a few dollars. I might have a few dollars more.
James Brown
Music has to breathe and sweat. You have to play it live.
James Brown
For goodness sake, look at those cakes.
James Brown
I had to tell about my colonic, which expresses the fact why I'm so neat today as opposed to a few years ago. I never knew that the weight made that much difference.
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
