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.

More quotes by Willie Nelson
Love is like a dying ember, only memories remain.
Willie Nelson
And as far as guitars go, I loved Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West's stuff.
Willie Nelson
Gay or straight? So what? It doesn't matter to me. We have to be concerned about other people regardless.
Willie Nelson
My fans are very forgiving. So are my wives and my kids.
Willie Nelson
If you really want to get along with somebody, let them be themselves.
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
Where I grew up, Bob Wills and his western swing was very popular. And western swing is not that far from jazz and blues.
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
If I started drinking again, there would be a lot of people bringing me pot because I can't handle alcohol. I just am not a good drinker. I get a little alcohol in me and I start trying to change the world, and that's not good. A lot of people are the same way. So that's why I don't drink anymore.
Willie Nelson
When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.
Willie Nelson
If you can be content right now, then you'll always be content, because it's always right now.
Willie Nelson
Songwriters might write cynical, world-wise lyrics and constantly talk about money, but most of us are downright naive when it comes to business.
Willie Nelson
I use vaporizers a lot. It cuts down on the heat and the smoke. And for a singer that's not a bad idea.
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
When songs fall from the sky, all I can do is catch them before they hit the ground.
Willie Nelson
Do something bad a thousand times and it's no big deal. Everyone just goes, Willie f - up again.
Willie Nelson
If you go to a magic show, you don't want to see logic.
Willie Nelson
I like myself better when I'm writing regularly.
Willie Nelson
