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

God bless America, land that I love.

Let’s face the music and dance.

Listen kid, take my advice, never hate a song that has sold half a million copies.

Talent is only the starting point.

Things that really matter are the things that gold can’t buy, so let’s have another cup o’ coffee and let’s have another piece o’ pie.

How much do I love you? I’ll tell you no lie. How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky?

Lord Help the Mister that comes between Me and My Sister.

The toughest thing about success is that you’ve got to keep on being a success. Talent is only a starting point in this business. You’ve got to keep on working that talent. Someday I’ll reach for it and it won’t be there.

A pretty girl is like a melody. That haunts you night and day.

You’re not sick you’re just in love.

They say that falling in love is wonderful, it’s wonderful, so they say.

God bless America, land that I love. Stand beside her, and guide her through the night with a light from above.

A man may be hot but he’s not when he’s shot cause you can’t get a man with a gun.

I’ve got my love to keep me warm.

Life is 10 percent what you make it, and 90 percent how you take it.

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones I used to know.
