“Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones and pray for the ones who don’t know?”

I love your cooking, honey, but sometimes I need some real food.

I’m more of a basic eater. I still go into Cracker Barrel.

You think about people like Hank Williams, who stood on that spot of wood, and Mr. Acuff, and, of course, George Jones.

If you can last until you’re 40 years old, hopefully you’ll be mature enough to figure out the rest of the years.

To think about the historical part of the Opry and how it’s played such a part in country music.

I’ve always wanted to make a bluegrass album.

I mean, my voice has gotten a little deeper sounding as I’ve gotten older, I think. I noticed that.

I’m hooked on my baby’s love, there ain’t nothing in the jug this strong.

Probably some of the songs I never even really listened to the lyrics.

Those are the kind of people who like the kind of music I’m making.

When I come out on the mic, you know it’s me.

The words of love you hear, and the life you feel touching your body and soul, then you know you have discovered the great value of misfortune.

I know how to be sour. I know that taste.

Marv didn’t like the way I stepped toward the plate. I had a tendency to throw across my body. So, he took me off to the side at Met Stadium and put a chair on the mound.

You know how a river goes on and on? That’s my love for you.

You should see the correspondence I get from over the world letting me know how significant they think I am. I know that wherever I go, I am well received.

It dismantles and abolishes the horizon within which our knowing and choosing went on, and it sets up a new horizon within which the love of God transvalues our values and the eyes of that love transform our knowing.

I’m not the government. Nor would I EVER want to be the government – I don’t know how you feel about government, but I’m not really happy about them.
