A thing is mighty big when time and distance cannot shrink it.

I love myself when I am laughing. . . and then again when I am looking mean and impressive.

Please God, please suh, don't let him love nobody else but me. Maybe Ah'm is uh fool, Lawd, lak dey say, but Lawd, Ah been so lonesome, and Ah been waitin', Jesus. Ah done waited uh long time.

An envious heart makes a treacherous ear.

It's no use of talking unless people understand what you say.

But as de old folk always say, Ah'm born but Ah ain't dead. No tellin' whut Ah'm liable tuh do yet.

Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place.
