Michael Jackson Quotes

"Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown" is an apt saying for the "King of Pop." Michael Jackson's life was a bed of roses. Except that the roses also carried thorns. And in the end, it was the thorns that did him in. Michael Jackson lives no longer. But his music remains eternal. "The King is dead, long live the King!" This proclamation will ring true forever. Here are some Michael Jackson quotes to remember him by.

Use the tools of your trade, if it's books or a floor to dance on or a body of water to swim in. Whatever it is, it's yours. That's what I've always tried to remember.
