James Weldon

Famous quotes containing the words james and/or weldon:

    This comes of James teaching me to think for myself, and never to hold back out of fear of what other people may think of me. It works beautifully as long as I think the same things as he does.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    This Great God,
    Like a mammy bending over her baby,
    Kneeled down in the dust
    Toiling over a lump of clay
    Till He shaped it in His own image;
    —James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938)
