Ben Harper Quotes:
Life is short and if you're looking for extension, you had best do well. 'Cause there's good deeds and then there's good intentions. They are as far apart as Heaven and Hell.
"It's so hard to so, so easy to say. But sometimes, sometimes you just have to walk away.
You look like gold. I've been fooled before, but now i know I've made the mistake in the past. But now i, now i know the difference from gold and brass.
It will make a weak man mighty. it will make a mighty man fall. It will fill your heart and hands or leave you with nothing at all. It's the eyes for the blind and legs for the lame. It is the love for hate and pride for shame. That's the power of the gospel.
It was a huge deal, a huge musical discovery that became life lessons learned. You can't return from having an experience like that. The Blind Boys are truly the deepest well of American musical heritage you can discover.
