More quotes by Michael Franti
I believe that in order to tackle the big issues of the world today, like environmental issues, we need everybody's involvement. We need the resources of the corporate world. We need the cooperation of governments. We need the wisdom of indigenous people.
Michael Franti
It ain't about who ya love, it's all about do ya love.
Michael Franti
I've always found that the poorer the places that I go, the more smiles I see, and the more happiness I see.
Michael Franti
Be who you are, nothing more... nothing less.
Michael Franti
I think my soul is intact, but my methods of reaching people are completely different.
Michael Franti
I think of love as an action. Finding something that's outside of yourself, to serve someone else's soul, helping to ignite someone else's spirit, to bring about ease of heart and joy, serenity in somebody else.
Michael Franti
Whenever people go out of their way to help other people - there's power and beauty in our diversity.
Michael Franti
Music and yoga have a great synergy.
Michael Franti
Playing on the streets of Iraq, or in Israel or the Gaza strip, I'd sing angry protest songs against war. People would say, 'Make us clap, make us dance, and laugh and sing.' It really made me think about the importance of happy music.
Michael Franti
One of the things I love about yoga is that it brings you into the present moment. You aren't worried about what will happen tomorrow and you aren't thinking about what happened yesterday. It's about opening your heart and living from your heart.
Michael Franti
Don't fear the night time, Because the monsters know that you're divine. And don't fear the sunshine, Because everything is better in the summer time...
Michael Franti
When I first started out, I thought it was enough to make an angry song that pointed out the problems of the world.
Michael Franti
I always know when a song is good or close to finished. When I sing it, it makes me feel the emotion. My tears will start flowing or I'll start laughing. I'll start feeling whatever intensity or emotion was the seed of that song.
Michael Franti
During my travels in Iraq, Israel, Gaza, Brazil, Indonesia, Japan, Europe and all over the United States, I have seen and heard the voices of people who want change. They want the stabilization of the economy, education and healthcare for all, renewable energy and an environmental vision with an eye on generations to come.
Michael Franti
Collectively, we activists are essential to advancing U.S. policy to help empower marginalized people to lift themselves and their communities out of poverty for good.
Michael Franti
I feel alive when I feel ease of heart.
Michael Franti
I believe that through positive thoughts, speech, action and attitudes, we change things for the better.
Michael Franti
Music is sunshine. Like sunshine, music is a powerful force that can instantly and almost chemically change your entire mood. Music gives us new energy and a stronger sense of purpose.
Michael Franti
I have a passion to make a difference in the world. And that difference can be just making the fans at my show leave with a smile on their face and feeling uplifted.
Michael Franti
Be as radiant as the sun, as healing as the rain, as generous as a tree.
