“Success is having to worry about every damn thing in the world, except money.”

People call me wild. Not really though, I’m not. I guess I’ve never been normal, not what you call Establishment. I’m country.

When you sing, you pray twice.

As sure as God made black and white, what’s done in the dark will be brought to the light.

Being rich means you get to worry about everything except money.

For you I know I’d even try to turn the tide.

It’s good to know who hates you and it is good to be hated by the right people.

I have tried drugs and a little of everything else, and there is nothing in the world more soul-satisfying than having the kingdom of God building inside you and growing.

All your life, you will be faced with a choice. You can choose love or hate. I choose love.

I wore black because I liked it. I still do, and wearing it still means something to me. It’s still my symbol of rebellion — against a stagnant status quo, against our hypocritical houses of God, against people whose minds are closed to others’ ideas.

Life is rough so you gotta be tough.

I don’t give up because I don’t give up. I don’t believe in it.

You miss a lot of opportunities by making mistakes, but that’s part of it: knowing that you’re not shut out forever, and that there’s a goal you still can reach.

I just hope and pray I can die with my boots on.

The beast in me Is caged by frail and fragile bars.

I love the freedoms we got in this country, I appreciate your freedom to burn your flag if you want to, but I really appreciate my right to bear arms so I can shoot you if you try to burn mine.

You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone.

Success in warfare is gained by carefully accommodating ourselves to the enemy’s purpose.

If you look for perfection, you’ll never be content.

Always plan for the fact that no plan ever goes according to plan.

I don’t believe in collective guilt, but I do believe in collective responsibility.

Even mistakes can be wonderful.

If you don’t execute on your plans, then you don’t reach anywhere.

In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing.

The ultimate search engine would basically understand everything in the world, and it would always give you the right thing. And we’re a long, long way from that.
