“We can overcome the obstacles through human unity.”

The sun is always shining. We have oxygen, trees, birds. There’s so much good things on Earth, still. We haven’t destroyed everything.

There is a physical relationship with a woman that you don’t have with anybody else, but that’s not about love. Love is a spiritual thing.

Music is one of the most essential things in life. It is what teaches us.

I think my type of personality has all music inside of it, so I am full of music, without even knowing it, without even learning it, without even hearing it.

I am expressing myself truthfully. That is an important thing.

Today, music is great for entertainment, but it is lacking soul; it’s lacking substance, and it’s difficult to find good stuff.

I’m inspired to do music. I really can’t stop unless I stop being inspired.

It’s very important that we instill some respect for the parents.

I make music that I know that people will enjoy, and balance the ideas and philosophy that we put in music with music that when we play it live, people can move to it and groove to it.

Love is a positive effect. Love can never have a negative effect, only a positive effect.

Running helps me relieve my stress.

I want to be fulfilled in myself, rather than try to follow exactly in my father’s footsteps.

Photographs bring back the memories.

The last thing my father told me was: ‘On your way up, take me up. On your way down, don’t let me down.’ A father telling his son that puts some responsibility on my shoulders. He told me that, and I take it very seriously.

I don’t believe in other people’s ideas. I have my own ideas.

It’s important to make sure you move your body every day. 

Human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.

There is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed.

There are a lot of myths which make the human race cruel and barbarous and unkind. Good and Evil, Sin and Crime, Free Will and the like delusions made to excuse God for damning men and to excuse men for crucifying each other.

The fact that God gave the whole human race the earth to use and enjoy cannot indeed in any manner serve as an objection against private possessions.

As long as there are human rights to be defended; as long as there are great interests to be guarded; as long as the welfare of nations is a matter for discussion, so long will public speaking have its place.

What a wonderful phenomenon it is, carefully considered, when the human eye, that jewel of organic structures, concentrates its moist brilliance on another human creature!

There is a power in the human mind to see things as they are but there is equally a power to see things as they might be.

It’s a tribute to the human brain that anyone is able to function out there on television in a talk situation that is entirely artificial.
