More quotes by Willie Nelson
My doctor tells me I should start slowing it down - but there are more old drunks than there are old doctors so let's all have another round.
Willie Nelson
There are more serious problems in life than financial ones, and I’ve had a lot of those. I’ve been broke before, and will be again.
Willie Nelson
What goes around, comes around.
Willie Nelson
Well, it's a Bloody Mary morning, my baby left without warning.
Willie Nelson
And as far as guitars go, I loved Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West's stuff.
Willie Nelson
If you got the money honey I got the time and when you run out of money honey I run out of time.
Willie Nelson
If you can be content right now, then you'll always be content, because it's always right now.
Willie Nelson
I never pretended to have a great voice. It works and I can carry a tune. If you have a good song, that's about all that's required.
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
You can't make a record if you ain't got nothin' to say.
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
You know why divorces are so expensive? They're worth it.
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
After every tour, I think about hanging up the touring hat, and after a while of not working, I'm ready to play. I think I enjoy playing music more than I enjoy not playing music.
Willie Nelson
I been a long time leaving but I'm going to be a long time gone.
Willie Nelson
One thing I learned is that the mind, rather than being the master, should be the servant of the heart.
Willie Nelson
My sister played the piano. She’s two years older than me, and I always wanted to play something. So my grandmother got the guitar for me, and showed me a couple of chords to start off. And then I got me a book. Next thing you know, I was playing along with sister.
Willie Nelson
Three chords and the truth - that's what a country song is.
Willie Nelson
As long as there's a few farmers out there, we'll keep fighting for them.
Willie Nelson
A frozen river is not a dry one, it's just a still river on the surface but is still moving, and so am my winter writing.
Willie Nelson
