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
To live on the land we must learn from the ocean, to be true as the tide and free as the wind swell.

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
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
Celebrate Earth Day every day.

I get an awful lot of fan mail, and I read all that I can.
John Denver
Music does bring people together. It allows us to experience the same emotions. People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit. No matter what language we speak, what color we are, the form of our politics or the expression of our love and our faith, music proves: We are the same.
John Denver
Reach for the heavens, and hope for the future, and all that will be, not what we are.
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
The nuclear arms race is like two people sitting in a pool of gasoline spending all their time making matches.
John Denver
I'm leaving my sorrows and all my memories behind to see what I find, somewhere in the shade near the sound of a sweet singing river, somewhere in the sun where the mountains make love to the sky.
John Denver
I don't want to just entertain people. I want to touch them.
