“I long to be out in the sun with no work to be done.”

The song is ended, but the melody lingers on.

Got no checkbooks, got no banks. Still I’d like to express my thanks – I’ve got the sun in the mornin’ and the moon at night.

A patriotic song is an emotion and you must not embarrass an audience with it, or they will hate your guts.

Music is so important. It changes thinking, it influences everybody, whether they know it or not. Music knows no boundary lines.

Gos bless America, my home sweet home.

Our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret power working twenty-four hours a day, for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force.

God bless America, land that I love, Stand beside her, and guide her, Through the night, with the light from above, From the mountains, to the prairies To the oceans, white with foam God bless America, my home sweet home, God bless America! My Home Sweet Home!

We got to keep on being a success.

The light in your eyes shines because of the longing in your soul. And the longing in your souls rises because you are looking for the lost half minute.

Acting upon a personal desire, whispering a hidden longing, revealing your true feelings

Audacious longing, burning songs, daring thoughts, an impulse overwhelming the heart, usurping the mind–these are all a drive towards serving Him who rings our hearts like a bell.
