I saw these and, in my darling husband, Dennis’ honor, I share them.

Here are 15 quotes from the King himself, covering everything from his famously provocative pelvis to his views on fame and fortune.

Some people tap their feet, some people snap their fingers, and some people sway back and forth. I just sorta do ‘em all together, I guess.

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

The first time that I appeared on stage, it scared me to death. I really didn’t know what all the yelling was about. I didn’t realize that my body was moving. It’s a natural thing to me. So to the manager backstage I said, “What’d I do? What’d I do?” And he said, “Whatever it is, go back and do it again.”

Just because I managed to do a little something, I don’t want anyone back home to think I got the big head.

My momma taught me one thing right from the very beginning, and that’s that everyone’s got a right to his own opinion. I believe that. And I also believe that you can’t make everyone like you.

I watch my audience and listen to them, and I know we are all getting something out of our system. None of us knows what it is. The important thing is that we’re getting rid of it and nobody’s getting hurt.

I’ve had a pretty good lesson in human nature. It’s more important to try to surround yourself with people who can give you a little happiness, because you only pass through this life once, Jack. You don’t come back for an encore.

Dennis adored Elvis Presley!
