MORE QUOTES BY REV. C. J. BELL
"As a man grows older and wiser,
he talks less and says
more."
PRESIDENTIAL POLITICS
"The BC (BUSH/CHENEY) we've been waiting for."
SUCCESS
"If the elevator to SUCCESS breaks down, be prepared to take the
STAIRS."
RACE
"How can BLACK PEOPLE expect to get along with WHITE PEOPLE when
BLACK PEOPLE can't get along with each other?"
"There are a few things in life we "DON'T GET" because we are
BLACK, but there are many things we "GET AWAY WITH" because we are
BLACK."
THE LAW
"Some things are LAWFUL, but AWFUL."
DRUGS
"So many of our young people on drugs think they are getting a
"KICK OUT OF LIFE", when in reality they are getting the "LIFE KICKED OUT OF
THEM".
POLITICAL PROSTITUTES
"Who a SEX PROSTITUTE and a POLITICAL PROSTITUTE are in the BED
with tonight don't have anything to do with who they will be IN the bed with in
the morning."
AMERICA
"AMERICA doesn't OWE ANYONE A LIVING, but EVERYONE OWES it to
AMERICA to keep AMERICA LIVING."
I will never comprehend how so many of us only PEEP at AMERICA'S
LONG COMINGS, but take a HARD LOOK at AMERICA'S SHORTCOMINGS."
"Even with the flaws in AMERICA, it is still the GREATEST COUNTRY
in the world. The freedom that exists in AMERICA is incomparable. Those of us
that aren't satisfied with life in AMERICA must admit there are no fences to
climb and no walls to tear down to leave. We are "FREE to
FLEE".
OUR SCHOOLS
"My daily PRAYER to GOD is "SAVE OUR SCHOOLS FROM
FOOLS."
WORK
"Some of us "WORK SICK", then we have some that are "SICK OF
WORK".
A LIAR
"Some of us LIE while we LIVE, some of us LIVE while we LIE, not
realizing that we may LIE down and DIE."
FRIENDS
"Sometimes STRANGERS are FRIENDS we've never
met."
VOTING
"VOTES counted by machines can't cheat intentionally, but VOTES
counted by hands can. I wish we could handle VOTES like HOLSOM BREAD, "never
touched by the human hands".
A FOOL
"You may fool a wise man sometimes, but you can fool a FOOL
anytime."
RACISM
"Some of our BLACK LEADERS and WHITE LEADERS have become
millionaires peddling RACISM. The time has come for us to stop using RACISM as a
SCAPEGOAT."
VOTER'S REGISTRATION
"Our Black Leadership spend much of their time on VOTER'S
REGISTRATION and not enough time on VOTER'S EDUCATION. VWI (VOTING WHILE
IGNORANT) is more of a problem in the Black Community than DWB (DRIVING WHILE
BLACK)."
POLITICS
"Some of us take politics too seriously, although I'm a serious
Republican. But let's face facts, "we can't make it to the PROMISED LAND riding
the DONKEY or the ELEPHANT. The DONKEY is too dumb and the ELEPHANT is too
slow."
ABOUT PEOPLE
"We have a few people that will die for you, but there are many
who wish you were dead."
THE TRUTH
"If you tell people a LIE, they will DISTRUST YOU, but if you tell
them the TRUTH, they will DISLIKE YOU."
