Never wait for tomorrow, what if tomorrow never comes?

Never wait for tomorrow, what if tomorrow never comes?

To judge a man by his weakest link or deed is like judging the power of the ocean by one wave.

Don’t criticize that man unless you have walked in his shoes.

If you’re smart, you’ll think twice, when they start to sound off with advice.

I’ve never written a song in my life. It’s all a big hoax.

We can’t build our dreams on suspicious minds.

Tomorrow will be too late, it’s now or never.

If you let your head get too big, it’ll break your neck.

Love me tender, love me sweet, never let me go.

Sad thing is, you can still love someone and be wrong for them.

Envy someone an’ it pulls you down. Admire them and it builds you up. Which makes more sense?

Once I catch you and the kissing starts, a team of wild horses couldn’t tear us apart.

People think you’re crazy if you talk about things they don’t understand.

Whatever you are doing, that which makes you feel the most alive…that is where God is.

No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a strange, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.

I want to make people feel intensely alive. I’d rather have them against me than indifferent.

I stay cool, and dig all jive, That’s the way I stay alive. My motto, as I live and learn, is Dig and be dug In return.

We always live for the summer until we don’t live it at all.

We have a planetary emergency. We have to find a way to create, in the generation of those alive today, a sense of generational mission.
