More quotes by Elvis Presley

'Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't going away.'

I'm never going to sing another song I don't believe in. I'm never going to make another picture I don't believe in.

The image is one thing and the human being is another...it's very hard to live up to an image.

'To judge a man by his weakest link or deed is like judging the power of the ocean by one wave.'

Don't be cruel to a heart that's true.
