“Heaven help the man who kicks the man who has to crawl.”

You know, I have seven children, so I guess I know some things about life.

There are people who have let the problems of today lead them to conclude that for them life is not the way.

Hate knows that love is the cure.

Music can measure how broad our horizons are. My mind wants to see to infinity.

A frowning face can’t bring out the beauty that you are.

What I’m not confused about is the world needing much more love, no hate, no prejudice, no bigotry and more unity, peace and understanding. Period.

Oh, thank you love With all my heart and soul I thank you love Each day that comes and goes I thank you love I thank you ’cause you gave me true love

Through the ages all great men have taught truth and happiness can’t be bought.

We have to have pride in not just one people but all people.

Many of us feel we walk alone without a friend, Never communicating with the one who lives within.

We can’t live in a place of fear.

There’re songs to make you smile, there’re songs to make you sad. But with a happy song to sing it never seems as bad.

You are the sunshine of my life That’s why I’ll always be around, You are the apple of my eye, Forever you’ll stay in my heart.

When you feel your life’s too hard, just go have a talk with God. Well, he’s the only free psychiatrist that’s known throughout the world.

I see the light in your smile.

Life has meaning only in the struggle. Triumph or defeat is in the hands of the Gods. So let us celebrate the struggle!

When someone like myself points out the rather obvious and compelling evidence that God is cruel and unjust, because he visits suffering on innocent people of a scope and scale that would embarrass the most ambitious psychopath, we’re told that? God is mysterious.

In a world as weird and cruel as this one we have made for ourselves, I figure anybody who can find peace and personal happiness without ripping off somebody else deserves to be left alone.

I turned down Prince William’s invitation for me to sing at his birthday bash because he was spearing animals in Africa and bringing publicity to it, and I thought that was pretty disgusting!

God doesn’t take things away to be cruel. He takes things away to make room for other things. He takes things away to lighten us. He takes things away so we can fly.

Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.

Next time they are cruel to you, listen carefully, and if you listen you will hear their pain and just like that see their heart.

What hurts the victim most is not the cruelty of the oppressor, but the silence of the bystander.

Cruelty and wrong are not the greatest forces in the world. There is nothing eternal in them. Only love is eternal.
