One thing I learned is that the mind, rather than being the master, should be the servant of the heart.

More quotes by Willie Nelson
Biodiesel seems to be the answer to a lot of our prayers. Not only can it help the U.S. economy, our unwanted dependence on foreign oil, and the gasping environment, it could also help the family farmers out of this tragic dilemma they have found themselves in through no fault of their own.
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
Be here. Be present. Wherever you are, be there.
Willie Nelson
There's so many things going on in the world, Babies dying. Mothers crying. How much oil is one human life worth. And what ever happened to peace on earth.
Willie Nelson
My fans are very forgiving. So are my wives and my kids.
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
I think it is just terrible and disgusting how everyone has treated Lance Armstrong, especially after what he achieved winning seven Tour de France races while on drugs......When I was on drugs I couldn't even find my bike.
Willie Nelson
Be gentle with your words - you can't take them back.
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
As adults we try to relax from the never-ending quest for reason and order by drinking a little whiskey or smoking whatever works for us, but the wisdom isn't in the whiskey or the smoke. The wisdom is in the moments when the madness slips away and we remember the basics.
Willie Nelson
There are only so many notes so there must be only so many melodies.
Willie Nelson
Americans don't eat horses. They are not raised as food animals and they are treated with chemicals that render them unsafe for consumption. The regulations needed to change their status to food animals would cripple every aspect of the horse industry as we know it. Plus, it would be wrong.
Willie Nelson
I'm drinking doubles now that you're running around single again.
Willie Nelson
You don't have to be poor to need something or somebody.
Willie Nelson
If you've made your own hell, then only you have the power to escape it.
Willie Nelson
A lot of guns there's no need for civilians to own those those are for military
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
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
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
(Songwriting) It's a gift. It all comes from somewhere. I started out really young, when I was four, five, six, writing poems, before I could play an instrument. I was writing about things when I was eight or 10 years old that I hadn't lived long enough to experience.
Willie Nelson
