“There has always been a battle between good and evil.”

A lot of people think Christianity is about always being perfect. It’s actually the opposite of that. It’s realizing that we’re all humans, and that’s why God sent his Son to this earth – to save people.

But dreams move on, if you wait too long.

I don’t think there’s any accidents in my life.

I went through a struggle, and I really needed to get myself together and connect with my purpose, which is music.

Keep the faculty of effort alive in you by a little gratuitous exercise every day.

The people at the record company had asked me if I could write a song about my life, my relationship with God, and where I’m from.

Well, I can’t write a song on purpose, my songs come in a moment of inspiration or desperation.

This table’s a bit like life. It’s a circle. And I believe everything in life is a circle. You come into this world a little teeny wrinkled-up fetus

I always prayed that God would give me the wisdom and the vision to do the things on this earth that I was supposed to do to express His life and love and His will.

I’m so miserable without you, it’s almost as if you’re here!

Don’t tell my heart, my achy breaky heart, I just don’t think it’d understand.

My kids learned to color on this table. There’s been a lot that’s went around this table. Waylon Jennings sat right there in that chair and showed Miley the chords to ‘Good Hearted Woman.’ Sitting in that chair.

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always been a real deep thinker and stuff.

Miley would never have been Hannah Montana.

What was the difference between us that allowed me to attain so much in a short time? America. America was the difference. I had been born a citizen of the greatest nation in all of human history.

Sometimes when I perform, and it’s obvious the audience is just there to party, or if I feel a wall between me and the audience, I get existential about it.

The problem we have is not Democrats versus Republicans. It is a Washington cartel. I’ve said many times the biggest divide we have politically is not between Republicans and Democrats. It’s between career politicians in both parties and the American people.

Given the choice between the experience of pain and nothing, I would choose pain.

We want a fully comprehensive trade deal that reflects our deep, ongoing relationship, the friendship between our two countries.

There will soon come an armed contest between capital and labor. They will oppose each other, not with words and arguments, but with shot and shell, gun-powder and cannon.

If forced to choose between the penitentiary and the White House for four years, I would say the penitentiary, thank you.

For time is the longest distance between two places.
