More quotes by Willie Nelson
Nothing lasts forever, but old Fords and a natural stone.
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
As long as there's a few farmers out there, we'll keep fighting for them.
Willie Nelson
The biggest killer on the planet is stress and I still think the best medicine is and always has been cannabis.
Willie Nelson
I wanted to connect all people who are thinking about peace on Earth.
Willie Nelson
All I do is play music and golf - which one do you want me to give up?
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
We create our own unhappiness. The purpose of suffering is to help us understand we are the ones who cause it.
Willie Nelson
And as far as guitars go, I loved Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West's stuff.
Willie Nelson
You could try to live monogamously. Good luck.
Willie Nelson
Sadly, there are more wild horses in holding pens than in the wild.
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
I don’t believe in adhering to any rules I don’t support and I didn’t vote for. To hell with what people think. Just be who you are and you’ll be happy.
Willie Nelson
I think the best exercise that I do is singing for an hour-and-a-half out on the stage, because, yes, I use the lung, the biggest muscle in your body.
Willie Nelson
I never gave up on country music because I knew what I was doing was not that bad.
Willie Nelson
It was and is always nice to work with the kids.
Willie Nelson
You can't make a record if you ain't got nothin' to say.
Willie Nelson
In church I was told that if I so much as smoked a cigarette or tasted alcohol, I’d be damned in hell for all eternity... it didn’t take long for me to start thinking that sounded all wrong... I didn’t cotton to the idea that your religion should be flaunted to other people. Your religion is for you, and is best kept close to your heart.
Willie Nelson
I like to play small clubs.
Willie Nelson
A lot of country music is sad.
Willie Nelson
