A man that weighs a hundred and fifty pounds is worth eighty four cents in chemicals.

«  E-47       †        Now, look, this may make you a little bit sick at your stomach, but... You know, when I was a little boy... We was raised poor. Mama used to have to take and put a bread pan in the stove and render out meat skins, that she'd pick up down at the store, to get the grease to pour on the corn bread, to make the--to make the hoecakes. And us kids would eat the hoecakes and sop sorghum molasses for breakfast. I don't know whether you ever did it or not, pretty good. But, you know, we'd have to do that.
And every Saturday night, I know what it was, take a bath in an old cedar tub; and never change the water, just pour some more in and warm it up for the next fellow. Now, that was right. But we lived over it. I tell you, brother. It ain't so much about the outside. If you'd take care of the inside as well as you do the outside, you'd be better off anyhow. Amen.

«  E-48       †        Not long ago, I was standing by a big museum. It had the estimation of a human body. A man that weighed a hundred and fifty pounds was worth eighty four cents in chemicals. Ha-ha. Put a ten dollar hat on eighty four cents. Boy, I'm telling you. Put a five hundred dollar mink skin coat around eight four cents and stick your nose up, if it'd rain, it'd drown you. Then you think you're somebody, and worth eighty four cents. You sure take care of that. But, brother, you got a soul that'll never die, somewhere. You'll take any kind of old dogmatic stuff for that. Amen.
I don't know what's the matter with me. But--but it's... [Congregation applauds--Ed.] Your pastors are suppose to do that. But... Bless the Lord. But what we need is to get back in the path. See? We're... That's the reason we're not over there tonight, enjoying something. That's the reason we're all broke up and everything. Certainly.
