“A person knows when it just seems to feel right to them. Listen to your heart.”

People call me wild. Not really though, I’m not. I guess I’ve never been normal, not what you call Establishment. I’m country.

When you sing, you pray twice.

As sure as God made black and white, what’s done in the dark will be brought to the light.

Being rich means you get to worry about everything except money.

For you I know I’d even try to turn the tide.

It’s good to know who hates you and it is good to be hated by the right people.

I have tried drugs and a little of everything else, and there is nothing in the world more soul-satisfying than having the kingdom of God building inside you and growing.

All your life, you will be faced with a choice. You can choose love or hate. I choose love.

I wore black because I liked it. I still do, and wearing it still means something to me. It’s still my symbol of rebellion — against a stagnant status quo, against our hypocritical houses of God, against people whose minds are closed to others’ ideas.

Life is rough so you gotta be tough.

I don’t give up because I don’t give up. I don’t believe in it.

You miss a lot of opportunities by making mistakes, but that’s part of it: knowing that you’re not shut out forever, and that there’s a goal you still can reach.

I just hope and pray I can die with my boots on.

The beast in me Is caged by frail and fragile bars.

I love the freedoms we got in this country, I appreciate your freedom to burn your flag if you want to, but I really appreciate my right to bear arms so I can shoot you if you try to burn mine.

You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone.

The truth is that the only time I’m happy is when I’m doing absolutely nothing. I don’t understand people who like to work and talk about it like it was some sort of goddamn duty. Doing nothing feel like floating on warm water to me. Delightful, perfect.

That which we are capable of feeling, we are capable of saying.

These days everything has a dark mode. I feel – accepted.

As for my feelings toward “Over the Rainbow”, it’s become part of my life. It is so symbolic of all dreams and wishes that I’m sure that’s why people sometimes get tears in their eyes when they hear it.

Feel free to make time to do absolutely nothing.

People don’t behave in angry ways unless they are feeling stressed and conflicted too.

Be sincere in your thoughts, Be pure in your feelings. You will not have to run after happiness. Happiness will run after you.

It is not easy to convey, unless one has experienced it, the dramatic feeling of sudden enlightenment that floods the mind when the right idea finally clinches into place.
