“When evolution has been outlawed, only the outlaws will evolve.”

We are the same. There is no difference anywhere in the world. People are people. They laugh, cry, feel, and love, and music seems to be the commons denomination that brings us all together. Music cuts through all boundaries and goes right to the soul.

If a song was ever good, it’s still good.

I’m from Texas, and one of the reasons I like Texas is because there’s no one in control.

God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere.

Be careful what you dream: soon your dreams will be dreaming you.

Let’s get the government stay out of our private lives, once and for all, and stop arresting smokers. Let’s take a stand for personal freedom.

It’s an ongoing problem, an ongoing situation, life is. It’s just life, and it never stops and it never will. You just be thankful for what you’ve got, and move on.

Nothing lasts forever, but old Fords and a natural stone.

I learned some invaluable lessons in Nashville that apply to both farming and show business: Do not corner something you know is meaner than you; keep skunks of all kinds at a distance; if you forgive your enemies, it messes up their heads.

One thing I learned is that the mind, rather than being the master, should be the servant of the heart.

You could try to live monogamously. Good luck.

The biggest killer on the planet is stress and I still think the best medicine is and always has been cannabis.

Freedom is control in your own life.

Three chords and the truth – that’s what a country song is.

When I see someone I think is cool, he’s a pretty well-adjusted individual. He’s not too affected one way or the other by what’s happening, no matter what’s going through his mind.

As long as there’s a few farmers out there, we’ll keep fighting for them.

Theology made no provision for evolution. The biblical authors had missed the most important revelation of all! Could it be that they were not really privy to the thoughts of God?

Is evolution a theory, a system, or an hypothesis? It is much more: it is a general condition to which all theories, all hypotheses, all systems must bow and which they must satisfy henceforward if they are to be thinkable and true.

Evolution is a light illuminating all facts, a curve that all lines must follow.

The only one which can embrace the past and future of evolution and so contemplate, measure and fulfil them.

The earth was probably born by accident; but, in accordance with one of the most general laws of evolution, scarcely had this accident happened than it was immediately made use of and recast into something naturally directed.

I have always had this basic biological question in terms of evolution, if the drive to evolution is to like survive.

To get really high is to forget yourself. And to forget yourself is to see everything else. And to see everything else is to become an understanding molecule in evolution, a conscious tool of the universe.

It seems to me that evolution adds greatly to the wonder of life because it takes it out of the realm of the arbitrary, the exceptional, and links it to the sequence of natural causation.
