Josephine Baker

The things we truly love stay with us always, locked in our hearts as long as life remains.

I remember when Lindbergh arrived in Paris, I was one of the first persons to know about his landing, because as the French people know that I was born in St. Louis, thinking I would be very proud to announce it to the public, they gave me the news first. I was then starring in the 'Folies Bergere.'

God dislikes evil, and no happiness can be built on hate. Love one another as brothers.

All my life, I have maintained that the people of the world can learn to live together in peace if they are not brought up in prejudice.

I believe in prayer. It's the best way we have to draw strength from heaven.

You must get an education. You must go to school, and you must learn to protect yourself. And you must learn to protect yourself with the pen, and not the gun.
