Johnny Cash
Understand your man, meditate on it.
Johnny Cash
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

Johnny Cash
Sometimes I am two people. Johnny is the nice one. Cash causes all the trouble. They fight.

Johnny Cash
When I was 17 - 16, my father and I cut wood all day long and I was swinging that crosscut saw and hauling wood.
Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash
After about three lessons [my] voice teacher said, Don't take voice lessons. Do it your way. You're a song stylist. Always do it your way.
Johnny Cash
San Quentin, may you rot and burn in hell. May your walls fall and may I live to tell.
Johnny Cash
I have tried drugs and a little of everything else, and there is nothing in the world more soul-satisfying than having the kingdom of God building inside you and growing.
Johnny Cash
I'm not bitter. Why should I be bitter? I'm thrilled to death with life.
Johnny Cash
He went up to heaven, located his dog. Not only that, but he rejoined his arm.
