More quotes by Willie Nelson
We create our own unhappiness. The purpose of suffering is to help us understand we are the ones who cause it.
Willie Nelson
As far as advice goes, an ex-father in law of mine once gave me the best advice I ever heard. He said, Take my advice and do what you want to. So with that, go on.
Willie Nelson
Gatewood Galbraith was a good friend, and a tireless advocate for the repeal of the ridiculous ban on hemp & marijuana. His book ‘The Last Free Man Standing’ says it all.
Willie Nelson
I see this [biodiesel] as a way for the farmer to grow fuel and food and put him back in business again
Willie Nelson
You'll never get ahead by blaming your problems on other people.
Willie Nelson
All I do is play music and golf - which one do you want me to give up?
Willie Nelson
Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results.
Willie Nelson
I take it not only a day at a time, but a moment at a time, and keep it at that pace. If you can be happy right now, then you’ll always be happy, because it’s always in the now
Willie Nelson
If a song was ever good, it's still good.
Willie Nelson
As long as there's a few farmers out there, we'll keep fighting for them.
Willie Nelson
Anybody can be unhappy. We can all be hurt. You don't have to be poor to need something or somebody. Rednecks, hippies, misfits - we're all the same. Gay or straight? So what? It doesn't matter to me. We have to be concerned about other people, regardless.
Willie Nelson
I started writing cheating songs when I was too young to have any idea what I was writing about - broken hearts and things like that. I just think it was something I already knew, something I had experienced in another lifetime.
Willie Nelson
Most of the stuff I've read about me has been true.
Willie Nelson
Well the country songs themselves are three-chord stories, ballads which are mostly sad. If you are already feeling sorry for yourself when you listen to them they will take you to an even sadder place.
Willie Nelson
I would like to see more airplay for all artists, no matter what age. I think there's a lot of money being spent toward the young guys, but a lot of the older guys are the ones who blazed the trail for those young guys.
Willie Nelson
I learned some invaluable lessons in Nashville that apply to both farming and show business: Do not corner something you know is meaner than you keep skunks of all kinds at a distance if you forgive your enemies, it messes up their heads.
Willie Nelson
I wanted to connect all people who are thinking about peace on Earth.
Willie Nelson
A lot of country music is sad. I think most art comes out of poverty and hard times. It applies to music. Three chords and the truth - that’s what a country song is. There is a lot of heartache in the world.
Willie Nelson
When you're singing, you're using extra muscles, and it requires a lot of exercise and breathing. You can't do that if you're a sissy. If I have any fitness advice for people, I'd tell them to sing more. It's good therapy, too.
Willie Nelson
I didn't come here and I ain't leavin'.
Willie Nelson
