More quotes by Willie Nelson
Those people out there like good music. They don't stop and ask themselves, 'Is it country or rock and roll?' If they like it, they will tell you.
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 think there must be safety in numbers. If you f - up enough times, they forget which one you really did. They start thinking, Well, nobody can be that bad.
Willie Nelson
You will never find happiness until you stop looking for it.
Willie Nelson
I don't smoke as many joints as I used to.
Willie Nelson
Like anything else, you can use the Internet for good or ill. You can get out of it what you want to. There's no evil about it. The way I see it, it's a liberation.
Willie Nelson
At 82, Nelson (who wrote the song On the Road Again, among a thousand or more others) is the elder statesman of country music, a steadying and powerful voice in the industry and on environmental issues, and he's still on the road much of the year. The music keeps calling.
Willie Nelson
When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.
Willie Nelson
My first job was in a Bohemian polka band, the Rejcek family polka band in Abbott. The old man in the band had another blacksmith shop in Abbott, but he liked me. All he had was horns and drums, and I was set up over there with my little guitar with no amps or nothing. I would play as loud as I wanted to, and nobody could hear me.
Willie Nelson
Ninety-nine percent of the world's lovers are not with their first choice. That's what makes the jukebox play.
Willie Nelson
Rather than trying to put an end to Eminem or some other rapper, politicians should think about why they're rapping. It's easier to try to censor some kid who's swearing about poverty than it is to stop the poverty.
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
I like marijuana because it keeps me from killing people. And I think there are a lot of people out there who are just like me. The reason it's not legal is because most people get up in the morning and get high, then forget to go out and vote for it.
Willie Nelson
Heard you told him that you'd love him 'til the end of time. Now that's the same thing that you told me.
Willie Nelson
I think I'm basically the same guy I always was. Maybe I've learned, through experience, to rein in some of the anger and temper they say redheads normally have.
Willie Nelson
I'm from Texas, and one of the reasons I like Texas is because there's no one in control.
Willie Nelson
On the road again, goin' places that I've never been. Seein' things that I may never see again, and I can't wait to get on the road again.
Willie Nelson
...when you put your life in a good place, good things follow.
Willie Nelson
I live one day at a time, one day at a time. Yesterday's gone and tomorrow is blind, so I live one day at a time.
Willie Nelson
I see this [biodiesel] as a way for the farmer to grow fuel and food and put him back in business again
