More quotes by 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
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
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
Romance lasts forever, love don't fade away. They may take away our future, but they can't stop yesterday.
John Denver
Love is a light that shines from heart to heart.
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
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
Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong
John Denver
I am the hawk and there's blood in my feathers, but time is still turning they soon will be dry. And all those who see me and all who believe in me, share in the freedom I feel when I fly.
John Denver
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
John Denver
It amazes me, and I know the wind will surely someday blow it all away It amazes me, and I'm so very grateful that You made the world this way
John Denver
I'm leaving on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again
John Denver
The future of life on Earth depends on our ability to see the sacred where others see only the common
John Denver
The Earth is our mother just turning around, with her trees in the forest and roots underground. Our father above us whose sigh is the wind, paint us a rainbow without any end.
John Denver
I would so much like young people to have a sense of the gift that they are. Not many of them feel like that.
John Denver
I don't want to just entertain people. I want to touch them.
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
Things go up and down. If you can survive the down, it will come back.
John Denver
I would make my job a work of art. I would like whatever it is that I'm doing - everyone's experience of me, everyone's interaction with me, everyone's discussion, conversation, relationship with me - [to be] an event within which they get to see who they are. I would make of my life a work of art.
John Denver
Divorce is just the most awful thing in the world.
