Reach for the heavens, and hope for the future, and all that will be, not what we are.

I'm leaving my sorrows and all my memories behind to see what I find, somewhere in the shade near the sound of a sweet singing river, somewhere in the sun where the mountains make love to the sky.

I believe that we are here for each other, not against each other. Everything comes from an understanding that you are a gift in my life - whoever you are, whatever our differences.

The future of life on Earth depends on our ability to see the sacred where others see only the common

Relax, ease back in your seats and let the music take you wherever it does.

Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong

We must begin to make what I call "conscious choices," and to really recognize that we are the same. It's from that place in my heart that I write my songs.

The best thing you have to offer the world is yourself. You don't have to copy anyone else. If you do, you're second best. To achieve success is to be first, and that's being yourself.

We deny the parts of ourselves that we deem unacceptable rather than accepting the fact that we're all less than perfect.

The themes that make one laugh always stem from poverty, hunger, misery, old age, sickness, and death. These are the themes that make Italians laugh, anyway.

The thing you hope will never happen to you might just happen to someone else instead, who has been spending their life dreading the thing that will happen to you.

You might be a redneck if when you run out of gas, you put gin in the gas tank.

I do forgive people when they get it right, even people who in the past I thought were unforgivable.

Apologizes are pointless, regrets come too late. What matters is you can move, on you can grow.

When I pressed Jesus to my heart, I said to Him: 'I will be a priest. I promise You!' ...Oh, what graces Our Lord gave me then! Yes, I believe my conversion at that time was sincere and perfect.

When men I have dated over the years whined about, ‘Oh, you make no time for me’ – see ya! I just dumped them. I don’t need that pressure in my life.

A church that focuses on the external has lost its passion for souls.
