Famous quotes by Mahalia Jackson:

"Anybody that sings the blues is in a deep pit, yelling for help."

"Time is important to me because I want to sing long enough to leave a message. I'm used to singing in churches where nobody would dare stop me until the Lord arrives!"

"God can make you anything you want to be, but you have to put everything in his hands."

"It's 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."

"Someday the sun is going to shine down on me in some faraway place."

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

"If you want me to sing this Christmas song with the feeling and the meaning, you better see if you can locate that check."

"Baby, black promoters oppressed me before white promoters ever got hold of me. Don't talk skin to me."

"Put your mind on the gospel. And remember - there's one God for all."

"When you sing gospel you have a feeling there is a cure for what's wrong."

"I don't worry too much about the script, I just ad lib, like Pearl Bailey."

"The mind and the voice by themselves are not sufficient."

"The old Devil gets mad when you're trying to do good. Pray that God will move the stumbling blocks."

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

"Anybody singing the blues is in a deep pit yelling for help."

"They thought I was a success as soon as I started paying the bills."

"Money just draws flies."

"Gospel music rhythms are not African in origin, although I know that's what the jazz experts say."

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