Noah took much ridicule building his great arc, but after 40 days and 40 nights he was looking pretty smart.

When we all can worship from our own kind of pew, then we shall be free.

The human spirit: Unbreakable. Relentless. Free.

I hear them saying, "You'll never change things, and no matter what you do it's still the same thing." But it's not the world that I am changing. I do this so this world will know that it will not change me.

Sometimes you just can't be afraid to wear a different hat. If Columbus had complied, this whole world might still be flat.

No one will ever touch Elvis

When you sit on something trying to preserve it, you die and become sterile.

We treat the lyrics like the woman any man wants to impress the most. We give the lyrics all the attention we can. I'm not sure other formats are remembering that the lyrics are what it's all about.

I don't fly any awards at the house. Any award you get is usually for something you've done in the past. And I like to keep looking forward.

I'm sitting in the drive-through and I've got my three girls in the back and this station comes on and it's playing “Jailhouse Rock,” the original version, and my girls are jumping up and down, going nuts. I'm looking around at them and they've heard Dad's music all the time and I don't see that out of them.

I can't think of a recent baseball song except John Fogerty's Centerfield. It's very difficult to write a baseball song that pleases fans and non-fans alike.

James Taylor and God are the reasons I play music.

If my time on earth were through and she must face the world without me, is the love I gave her in the past gonna be enough to last?

Life is only therapy.

One day I'll be standing at the river looking out across tomorrow, and the bridge I need to get there will be a bridge that I have burned.

There's times I'd rather kill you than listen to your honesty.

The blues will be blue, and the jealousies green, but when love picks its color it demands to be seen.

I know there's nothing that I wouldn't do Go to the ends of the earth for you To make you feel my love

There's two dates in time That they'll carve on your stone And everyone knows what they mean What's more important Is the time that is known In that little dash there in between That little dash there in between

It was your song that made me sing It was your song that gave me wings It was your light that shined guiding my heart to find This place where I belong It was your song Dreams can come true With God's great angels like you

Life is not tried it is merely survived if you're standing outside the fire.

Time is on the side of all things good.

What I do is so this world will know that it will not change me.

And now, I'm glad I didn't know the way it all would end, the way it all would go. Our lives are better left to chance, I could've missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the Dance....

They call them fools, who are unable to resist the slightest chance love might exist.

Thank God for unanswered prayers.

I'll never reach my destination, If I never try, So I will sail my vessel, 'Til the river runs dry.

I've got friends in low places, where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away.

I've lost loved ones in my life who never knew how much I loved them. Now I live with the regret that my true feelings for them never were revealed.

Our future is not unpredictable, our future is simply the result of choices we have made.

What comes from a book is knowledge. What comes from the heart is wisdom.

But you've got to be tough when consumed by desire, cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire.

People loving people. That's the enemy of everything that's evil

You know a dream is like a river Ever changing as it flows. And a dreamer's just a vessel That must follow where it goes. Trying to learn from what's behind you And never knowing what's in store Makes each day a constant battle Just to stay between the shores.

It's the ropes and the reins, and the joy and the pain. And they call the thing rodeo.

Holding you, I held everything.

Too many times we stand aside, and let the waters slip away. Til what we put off til tomorrow has now become today.

Life's gonna run you over if you don't get goin.

Retail should never ever tell the copyright owner how their stuff is sold.

A fan's love for an artist is so deep, I know I will go whatever depths it takes to learn about people that I'm in love with.

Singles are your safest songs on the records. Ones that piss fewer people off, that appeal more to the masses.

Getting older doesn't help you in the fact that you might have covered some of this ground before. So you're listening to a song that you know is a hit, but it just can't be a hit for you, it's gonna be a hit for somebody else. That's tough.

I think in between where you are and where you want to be is a sea of reasons why you can't get there.

I'm not sure how we exist, as an artist, without country radio.

Somebody that comes and dumps a brand-new album on me and doesn't play the old stuff, I'm pissed!

Passion is what convinced armies that had no chance to win - it's believing that something can happen. Reality is what you make it to be. And when you're the only one who can see the way the future is going to be, you can be the tool that bends, rips, shapes and paints the future the way you want it to be. That's true passion!

Mistakes don't scare me or bother me. If I feel like I made the same mistake twice, then I feel like I've really screwed up. But if I make one mistake and learn from it, hey, to me in the game of life it's just as important to know what doesn't work as what does. So I think mistakes are a good thing.

If you want to know how important Portland is to me, there's no Saturday night gigs here. They weren't available. So our whole thing coming into Portland, which is going to be different from anybody else, any other city, is every night is Saturday night.

The cool thing about passion is that no matter how good or bad a day you're having, tomorrow's going to be better because passion finds some way of doubling itself.

Passion is something you'd easily die for. It's something you'd be honored to die for. It's something that's stronger than any machine man can create. It actually gives a mortal person wings.
