How well I have learned that there is no fence to sit on between heaven and hell. There is a deep, wide gulf, a chasm, and in that chasm is no place for any man.

The more I learn, the more excited I get.
Johnny Cash
I knew I wanted to sing when I was a very small boy. When I was probably 4 years old. My mother played a guitar and I would sit with her and she would sing and I learned to sing along with her.

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.
Johnny Cash
I came to believe in a power much higher than I

I'm not really concerned about boundaries. I just follow my conscience and my heart. Follow your heart. That's what I do. Compassion is something I have a lot of, because I've been through a lot of pain in my life. Anybody who has suffered a lot of pain has a lot of compassion.
Johnny Cash
I just hope and pray I can die with my boots on.
Johnny Cash

Success is having to worry about every damn thing in the world, except money.
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
Love is a burning thing and it makes a firey ring.
Johnny Cash
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone.
Johnny Cash
When you sing, you pray twice.
Johnny Cash
I used to sing Bill Monroe songs. And I'd sing Dennis Day songs like songs that he sang on the Jack Benny show.
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
The hardest thing for me in Vietnam wasn't seeing the wounded and dead. It was watching the big transport jets come in, bringing loads of fresh new boys for the war.
Johnny Cash
I started to write the song. And I was in Gladewater, Texas, one night with Carl Perkins and I said, I've got a good idea for a song. And I sang him the first verse that I had written, and I said it's called Because You're Mine. And he said, I Walk The Line is a better title, so I changed it to I Walk The Line.
Johnny Cash
I've always explored various areas of society.
