John Denver
What one man can do is dream. What one man can do is love. What one man can do is change the world.
John Denver
The best thing you have to offer the world is yourself. You don't have to copy anyone else. If you do, you're second best. To achieve success is to be first, and that's being yourself.
John Denver
Aspen is the life to live, see how much there is to give. See how strongly you believe, see how much you may receive.
John Denver
Relax, ease back in your seats and let the music take you wherever it does.
John Denver
There's an aspect of human nature in which we want to think we're better than somebody else. They're a different color. They speak a different language. They have a different name for the Creator. Whatever it is, that makes it okay for me to hate them, to try to get some of their land or some of their resources.
John Denver
Though the singer is silent…there is still the truth of the song.
John Denver

John Denver
If as an environmentalist we are against anything... it is against the arrogance of power and the most obcene ways it shows up, which is in greed.
John Denver
Faith is a kind of knowing it is different from hope. My faith is that life is purposeful of that I'm sure. There is a God, there is intelligence, there is consciousness. And behind all of this, there is incredible compassion.
John Denver
Kiss me, and smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me. Hold me like you'll never let me go.
John Denver
To live on the land we must learn from the ocean, to be true as the tide and free as the wind swell.
John Denver
Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong
John Denver
Many things made me become a vegetarian, among them the higher food yield as a solution to world hunger.
John Denver
Whatever meaning 'Annie's Song' had for me on a personal level, there was also a larger context. It could just as easily have been about love for a brother. Or a father. Or a friend. It could just as easily have been a prayer.
John Denver
The future of life on Earth depends on our ability to see the sacred where others see only the common
John Denver
I believe that we are here for each other, not against each other. Everything comes from an understanding that you are a gift in my life - whoever you are, whatever our differences.
John Denver
For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers, come and stand beside me, we can find a better way.
John Denver
Reach for the heavens, and hope for the future, and all that will be, not what we are.
John Denver
Things go up and down. If you can survive the down, it will come back.
John Denver
