Jerry Lee Lewis

“Without forgiveness, there is no future. Forgiveness is not nebulous, impractical and idealistic. It's thoroughly realistic. It's real political in the long run.”
“Behind every beautiful fur, there is a story. It is a bloody, barbaric story.”
“Pause and remember-- Every moment is a choice. Every thought, word and deed is creating your future. Choose wisely and positively!”
“We need to take excellent care of our customers, and do so at a profit.”
“Gotta have safety at our borders. We're a sovereign nation, gotta protect our borders. Make sure the workplace doesn't become a magnet for folks to be hired without the authorization. And then let's be realistic and sensible about how we approach all those folks who made America their home, established businesses, have children who have gone on to be valedictorians at their high school - and let's do these things in a very sensible way.”
“No more verbally incomprehensible no more devoid of the vision thing and no more the cautious pragmatist proudly displaying the virtues of tradition and the advantages of biological seniority.”
“Charity is merely returning what we have stolen.”
“Large cocktail parties are an infamous technique for ridding yourself of social obligations to people you usually don't know well or like much, which is such an unpromising beginning that I've rarely known one that recovered and turned into a great party.”
