You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.

More quotes by Johnny Cash
Sam Phillips responded most to a song of mine called, Hey Porter, which was on the first record.
Johnny Cash
Call him drunken Ira Hayes, he won't answer any more. Not the whiskey drinking Indian, nor the Marine that went to war.
Johnny Cash
Understand your man, meditate on it.
Johnny Cash
A rose looks grey at midnight, but the flame is just asleep. And steel is strong because it knows the hammer and white heat.
Johnny Cash
My father was a man of love. He always loved me to death. He worked hard in the fields, but my father never hit me. Never. I don't ever remember a really cross, unkind word from my father.
Johnny Cash
You've got a song you're singing from your gut, you want that audience to feel it in their gut. And you've got to make them think that you're one of them sitting out there with them too. They've got to be able to relate to what you're doing.
Johnny Cash
I could wrap myself in the warm cocoon of a song and go anywhere.
Johnny Cash
Don't take voice lessons. Do it your way.
Johnny Cash
The fire and excitement may be gone now that we don't go out there and sing them anymore, but the ring of fire still burns around you and I, keeping our love hotter than a pepper sprout.
Johnny Cash
I don't like it, but I guess things happen that way.
Johnny Cash
I've been flushed from the bathroom of your heart.
Johnny Cash
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I keep my eyes wide open all the time I keep the ends out for the tie that binds Because you're mine, I walk the line.
Johnny Cash
A person knows when it just seems to feel right to them. Listen to your heart.
Johnny Cash
I'm thankful for the sea breeze that feels so good right now, and the scent of jasmine when the sun starts going down.
Johnny Cash
There's no way around grief and loss: you can dodge all you want, but sooner or later you just have to go into it, through it, and, hopefully, come out the other side. The world you find there will never be the same as the world you left.
Johnny Cash
[My mother] called [my voice] the gift.
Johnny Cash
Until things are brighter.. I'm the man in black.
Johnny Cash
My mother told me to keep on singing, and that kept me working through the cotton fields. She said God has his hand on you. You'll be singing for the world someday.
Johnny Cash
I learn from my mistakes. It’s a very painful way to learn, but without pain, the old saying is, there’s no gain.
Johnny Cash
Of emotions, of love, of breakup, of love and hate and death and dying, mama, apple pie, and the whole thing. It covers a lot of territory, country music does.
