In honor of the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ and as a tribute to the life of James Brown who passed away today, here are some quotes from the 2 men. I will leave it up to you to figure out who said what.

“When I'm on stage, I'm trying to do one thing: bring people joy. Just like church does. People don't go to church to find trouble; they go there to lose it.”

“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children
of God.”

“The one thing that can solve most of our problems is dancing”

“Do not judge, lest you too be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be
judged and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you”

“I taught them everything they know, but not everything I know.”

“But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the
blind, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. You will be repaid at the
resurrection of the just”

“Here on the ground, our job is not done.”

“Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are
Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's”

“Retire for what? What would I do? I made my name as a person that is helping. I'm like Moses in the music business.”

“I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you,
do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despite-fully use you, and persecute you”

“Sometimes you struggle so hard to feed your family one way, you forget to feed them the other way, with spiritual nourishment. Everybody needs that.”

“And when thou pray, thou shall not be as the hypocrites are: for
they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.  But thou, when thou pray, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret…”

“Cause he's not about show business, but he's about soul business. He's why I'm a soul singer.”

"Blessed are You when men revile you and persecute  you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account.”

“It doesn't matter how you travel it, it's the same road. It doesn't get any easier when you get bigger, it gets harder. And it will kill you if you let it.”

“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

“Now we demand a chance to do things for ourserlf. We're tired of beatin' our head against the wall And workin' for someone else. We're people, we're just like the birds and the bees. We'd rather die on our feet, Than be living' on our knees. Say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud”

“What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul.”
