Eubie Blake

Be grateful for luck. Pay the thunder no mind.

Listen to the birds and don’t hate nobody.

I don’t have any bad habbits. They might be bad habits for other people, but they’re all right for me.

Never trust anyone who wants what you’ve got. Friend or no, envy is an overwhelming emotion.

Feelings are often born from the matrix of conditions beyond your control. Let them just pass through, like a cloud in the sky.

Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.

If you believe, you will. If you don’t, you won’t.

Dr. Strauss says I should rite down what I think and remembir and every thing that happins to me from now on..

Stand up and walk out of your history.

To be a leader, you must stand for something, or you will fall for anything.

I’d never met a woman I considered as intelligent as me. That sounds bigheaded, but every woman I met was either a dolly-chick, or a sort of screwed-up intellectual chick. And of course, in the field I was in, I didn’t meet many intellectual people anyway. I always had this dream of meeting an artist, an artist girl who would be like me. And I thought it was a myth, but then I met Yoko and that was it.

Whatever your goal in life, the beginning is knowledge and experience- or, briefly work.

Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them.

People cannot discover new lands until they have the courage to lose sight of the shore.

Insane people are always sure that they are fine. It is only the sane people who are willing to admit that they are crazy.

You are only as happy as your saddest child.

When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth.

I’m constantly reemerging in my life.

If you keep saying things are going to be bad, you have a chance of being a prophet.
