Courage is being scared to death... and saddling up anyway.

Life is hard; it's harder if you're stupid.

Sure I wave the American flag. Do you know a better flag to wave? Sure I love my country with all her faults. I'm not ashamed of that, never have been, never will be.

The reason there are so many stupid people is because it's illegal to kill them.

Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.

TRUE Courage is when you are scared to death and STILL saddle up and ride in!

All battles are fought by scared men who'd rather be some place else.

I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living.

Very few of the so-called liberals are open-minded.... They shout you down and won't let you speak if you disagree with them.

A friend of mine told me to shoot first and ask questions later. I was going to ask him why, but I had to shoot him.

I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.

It was queer how sometimes a child's innocent eyes can see things that grown men are blind to.

It's nice to feel the fans are behind you. You shouldn't concern yourself with things like that - but it does matter.

Faith is not merely you holding on to God- it is God holding on to you

Bribes are the glue that's kept teenagers and parents connected for generations

The main question is not, how can we hide our wounds...but how can we put our woundedness in service to others.

Live daringly, boldly, fearlessly. Taste the relish to be found in competition - in having put forth the best within you.

The real risk is not changing. I have to feel that I'm after something. If I make money, fine. But I'd rather be striving. It's the striving, man, it's that I want.

To a poet the mere making of a poem can seem to solve the problem of truth…but only a problem of art is solved in poetry.

I'm not the singer that I wish I was or that some people think I could be. I wish I had the pipes to just jump into musicals.

Fate will find a way.
