More quotes by Woody Guthrie
The world is filled with people who are no longer needed -- and who try to make slaves of all of us -- and they have their music and we have ours.
Woody Guthrie
As I went walking That ribbon of highway I saw above me The endless skyway I saw below me The lonesome valley This land was made for you and me.
Woody Guthrie
Let me be known as just the man that told you something you already knew.
Woody Guthrie
Nobody living can ever stop me. As I go walking my freedom highway. Nobody living can make me turn back. This land was made for you and me.
Woody Guthrie
Some men rob you with a six-gun -- others rob you with a fountain pen.
Woody Guthrie
It's round the world I've traveled it's round the world I've roamed but I've yet to see an outlaw drive a family from its home
Woody Guthrie
Okemah was one of the singingest, square dancingest, drinkingest, yellingest, preachingest, walkingest, talkingest, laughingest, cryingest, shootingest, fist fightingest, bleedingest, gamblingest, gun, club and razor carryingest of our ranch towns and farm towns, because it blossomed out into one of our first Oil Boom Towns.
Woody Guthrie
The note of hope is the only note that can help us or save us from falling to the bottom of the heap of evolution, because, largely, about all a human being is, anyway, is just a hoping machine.
Woody Guthrie
My eyes has been my camera taking pictures of the world and my songs has been my messages that I tried to scatter across the back sides and along the steps of the fire escapes and on the window sills and through the dark halls.
Woody Guthrie
This machine kills fascists.
Woody Guthrie
One day we'll all find out that all of our songs was just little notes in a great big song!
Woody Guthrie
It's a folk singer's job to comfort disturbed people and to disturb comfortable people
Woody Guthrie
If we fix it so's you can't make money on war, we'll all forget what we're killing folks for.
Woody Guthrie
A song ain't nothing but a conversation fixed up to where you can talk it over and over without getting tired of it.
Woody Guthrie
This land is your land, this land is my land
Woody Guthrie
Now as through this world I ramble, I see lots of funny men, Some rob you with a six gun, And some with a fountain pen.
Woody Guthrie
Life has a habit of not staying hitched. You got to ride it like you find it.
Woody Guthrie
Take it easy, but take it.
Woody Guthrie
I hate a song that makes you think that you are not any good. I hate a song that makes you think that you are just born to lose. Bound to lose. No good to nobody. No good for nothing. Because you are too old or too young or too fat or too slim too ugly or too this or too that.
Woody Guthrie
Love is the only medicine I believe in.
Woody Guthrie
