More quotes by Neil Peart
The measure of a life is a measure of love and respect, So hard to earn so easily burned In the fullness of time, A garden to nurture and protect It's a measure of a life The treasure of a life is a measure of love and respect, The way you live, the gifts that you give In the fullness of time, It's the only return that you expect

Neil Peart
How can anybody be enlightened? Truth is after all so poorly lit

To me, the highest expression of life is art with jokes. It's very rarified, very difficult to accomplish if you want to be more than just funny, and more than just jokes about human gaseousness.
Neil Peart
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
Neil Peart
No, his mind is not for rent To any God or government Always hopeful yet discontent He knows changes aren't permanent But change is.
Neil Peart
You can surrender without a prayer, but never really pray without surrender. You can fight without ever winning, but never ever win without a fight.
Neil Peart
Live for yourself... there's no one else more worth living for...
