Mahalia Jackson

Without a song, each day would be a century.

If you believe in God, He will open the windows of heaven and pour blessings upon you.

Everybody needs somebody.

Faith and prayer are the vitamins of the soul; man cannot live in health without them.

You're blessed if you have the strength to work.

It is easy to be independent when you've got money. But to be independent when you haven't got a thing, that's the Lord's test.

Money just draws flies.

Sometimes you ask God for something and you don't know what you're asking.
