Willie Nelson

“If you’re not crazy there’s something wrong with you.Willie Nelson”

“I believe in looseness.”

“Fortunately, we are not in control.”

“Be here. Be present. Wherever you are, be there.”

“I don’t believe in adhering to any rules I don’t support and I didn’t vote for. To hell with what people think. Just be who you are and you’ll be happy.”

“When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.”

“You will never find love until you stop looking.”

“As adults we try to relax from the never-ending quest for reason and order by drinking a little whiskey or smoking whatever works for us, but the wisdom isn't in the whiskey or the smoke. The wisdom is in the moments when the madness slips away and we remember the basics.”

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

“If you've made your own hell, then only you have the power to escape it.”

“You will never find happiness until you stop looking for it.”

“Let the jerks of the world serve as the perfect example of what you don't want to be. You'll be a heck of a lot happier, and in the long run, there's a chance that other person at work will end up asking what your secret is. Why are you the happy one? In other words, don't let your thoughts think you. Besides, if you're really gonna get pissed, don't waste it on your family, friends, or coworkers, save it for something that really matters.”

“You'll never get ahead by blaming your problems on other people.”

“...when you put your life in a good place, good things follow.”

“Gay or straight? So what? It doesn't matter to me. We have to be concerned about other people regardless.”

“I don't remember Moses writing, 'Thou shalt not kill.. unless you think you have a good reason.”

“A lot of people make money off of fear and negativity and any way they can feed it to you is to their benefit in a lot of ways. You can't avoid it completely; you have to be open enough that shit doesn't stick on you, it goes through, because you are gonna be hit and bombarded all the time with negativity... You just let things go on through without trying to stop them or block them.”

“I was in the Air Force a while and they had what they call "policing the area." That's where you looked around and if there's anything wrong here, there, anywhere, you took care of your own area. And I think that's a pretty good thing to go by. If everyone just takes care of their own area then we won't have any problems. Be here. Be present. Wherever you are, be there. And look around you and see what needs to be changed.”

“Life and water are inseparable. Three quarters of the earth's surface is covered by water, just as three quarters of your body is made up of water. Even in the driest desert where rain may come just once every few years, the cycles of life are based on waiting for the arrival of water. Our bodies are not so patient.Every cell in your body needs water to survive, and that means that drinking plenty of clean, fresh water can make you stronger healthier and smarter. Water carries oxygen and fuel to your cells, lubricates your joints, regulates your body temperature, and plays a key roll in just about every function of your body.My number one roadie, POODIE, says, "You can't make a turd without grease.”

“God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere.”

“There are more old drunks than there are old doctors.”

“I got along without you before I met you and I'll get along without you a long time after you're gone.”

“The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.”
