Our purpose is to educate as well as to entertain. Painless preaching is as good a term as any for what we do. If you're going to come away from a party singing the lyrics of a song, it is better that you sing of self-pride like 'We're a Winner' instead of 'Do the Boo-ga-loo!'

Additional quotes by Curtis Mayfield

Now is always the right time
With something positive in your mind.
Whenever someone pulls you down,
Just get back up and hold your ground.
...
Summer, winter, fall just go
Through the rain and through the snow.
Just get on back to living again...right on.

Let's do it in the mornin'
Sweet breeze in the summer time.
Feeling your sweet face
All laid up next to mine.
Sweet love in the midnight;
Good sleep, come mornin' light.
No worries 'bout nothin';
Just gettin' good, just gettin' good
Just gettin' good love.
