James Earl Jones’s 5 most popular quotes

  • One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can’t utter.
  • If you live in an oppressive society, you’ve got to be resilient. You can’t let each little thing crush you. You have to take every encounter and make yourself larger, rather than allow yourself to be diminished by it.
  • The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise, they will win and the decent people will lose.
  • When I read great literature, great drama, speeches, or sermons, I feel that the human mind has not achieved anything greater than the ability to share feelings and thoughts through language.
  • Don’t you try and go through life worrying if someone has liked you or not? You should make sure that they are doing right by you.
