Ethel Waters People Quotations

All my life I've been prejudiced against wealthy people.

I wanted to be with the kind of people I'd grown up with, but you can't go back to them and be one of them again, no matter how hard you try.

There was one emotional outlet my people always had when they had the blues. That was singing.

When you dominate other people's emotions, the time has to come when you will have to pay, and heavily, for that privilege.

Many people know how to criticize, but few know how to praise.
