More quotes by John Denver
I think the biggest problem in the world is that we have a generation of young people, and maybe two, who don't think it's going to get any better.
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
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
Celebrate Earth Day every day.
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
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
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
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
Things go up and down. If you can survive the down, it will come back.
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
I get an awful lot of fan mail, and I read all that I can.
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
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
Many things made me become a vegetarian, among them the higher food yield as a solution to world hunger.
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
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
No one person has to do it all but if each one of us follow our heart and our own inclinations we will find the small things that we can do to create a sustainable future and a healthy environment.
John Denver
