More quotes by 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
Sometimes there is a 36-piece orchestra going off in my stomach.
Willie Nelson
Small family farmers are the only things that can save us because they take care of the land. Future farmers of America are going to be our heroes. Same with biodiesel, either way we need small family saustainable and organic farmers.
Willie Nelson
I never gave up on country music because I knew what I was doing was not that bad.
Willie Nelson
If you’re not crazy there’s something wrong with you. Willie Nelson

Most of the stuff I've read about me has been true.

Nothing lasts forever, but old Fords and a natural stone.
Willie Nelson
When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.

Vaporizers are good for your lungs. Cigarette smoke will kill you. I never heard of anybody dying from marijuana smoke. Vaporizers I think are smarter.
Willie Nelson
Sadly, there are more wild horses in holding pens than in the wild.
Willie Nelson
If you want to make marijuana legal, you've got to stay straight long enough to f - vote.
Willie Nelson
I'm a little prejudiced when it comes to horses. I have always loved them.
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
When I was out in the bars drinking and fighting I was a little bit less of a peacemaker than I would be if I'd had a coupla hits of a joint and gone and laid down somewhere.
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 smoke pot every day, and I love it!
Willie Nelson
Love is like a dying ember, only memories remain.
Willie Nelson
God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere.
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
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.
