Notice he said PROBABLY second to Bible. Even that is not certain and perhaps it has sold more.The guy is the Almighty himself.

Here are a few of his quotes

Vengeance is mine
Touch not my anointed(Ibo)

He always said that whenever he saw a dead man's mouth, he saw the folly of not eating what one had in one's lifetime....
