Willie Nelson Quotes:
I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong?

Ninety-nine percent of the world's lovers are not with their first choice. That's what makes the jukebox play.

“I'm a country songwriter and we write cry-in-your-beer songs. That's what we do. Something that you can slow dance to.”

“All I do is play music and golf -- which one do you want me to give up?”

“The fight to save family farms isn't just about farmers. It's about making sure that there is a safe and healthy food supply for all of us. It's about jobs, from Main Street to Wall Street. It's about a better America.”

“If you got the money honey I got the time and when you run out of money honey I run out of time.”

“I was influenced a lot by those around me -- there was a lot of singing that went on in the cotton fields.”

“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.”

“I take it not only a day at a time, but a moment at a time, and keep it at that pace. If you can be happy right now, then you’ll always be happy, because it’s always in the now.”

Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results.

We create our own unhappiness. The purpose of suffering is to help us understand we are the ones who cause it.

How would you like to bite that in the ass, develop lock jaw and be dragged to death?
