“Don’t leave my embrace for here in my arms is your place.”

The army teaches boys to think like men.

I am not the King. Jesus Christ is the King. I’m just an entertainer.

You look like an angel, walk like an angel, talk like an angel. But I got wise, you’re the devil in disguise.

I don’t mind being controversial. Even Jesus wasn’t loved in his day.

Whatever it is, go back and do it again.

Until we meet again, may God bless you as he has blessed me.

When we kiss my heart’s on fire, burning with a strange desire.

Everything is so dreamy when you are young. After you grow up it kind of becomes, just real.

Take my hand, take my whole life, too.

Do something worth remembering.

When your intelligence don’t tell you something ain’t right, your conscience gives you a tap you on the shoulder and says ‘Hold on’. If it don’t, you’re a snake.

Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine

My philosophy of life is simple: I need someone to love, something to wait and do something.

Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain’t going away.

Life has taught me one big lesson, always keep the girlies guessing.

The world is more alive at night; it’s like God isn’t looking.

It’s time to float on the waters of the night. Time to wrap my arms around this book and press it to my chest, life preserver in a seat of unremarkable men and women anonymous faces on the street, a hundred thousand unalphabitized things a million forgotten hours.

What’s gonna happen to the arms industry when we realize we’re all one. Ha ha ha ha ha! It’s gonna fuck up the economy!

I wouldn’t change what happened to me because then I wouldn’t have this chance, in front of all of you, to embrace more people than I ever could have with two arms.

Losing an arm is kinda lame at one point, but at the same time, so much good has come out of it.

It’s true that I am not from the south and I have a certain reserve. I take time to get close to, and I don’t immediately throw my arms round someone. But it is more a question of style.

Therefore gird yourselves manfully and take up joyful arms for the name of God.

I don’t need to pat myself on the back until my arm breaks. I don’t need any of that.

I could never have embraced this many people with two arms.
