“From humble bandannas do mighty albums grow...”

“a skillful soldier is not violent, an able fighter does not rage, a mighty conqueror does not give battle, a great commander is a humble man”

“I’d been on the road for twenty-five years, pretty much. I was like a mouse on a wheel: album, tour, album, tour, album, tour, album, tour.”

“Pray to God for gladness. Be glad as children, as the birds of heaven. And let not the sin of men confound you in your doings. Fear not that it will wear away your work and hinder its being accomplished. Do not say, 'Sin is mighty, wickedness is mighty, evil environment is mighty, and we are lonely and helpless, and evil environment is wearing us away and hindering our good work from being done.' Fly from that dejection, children!”

“Be my secret. Be my joy. Be a miracle to me." From the song MIRACLE TO ME, from the album LIONS, by THE BLACK CROWES.”

“Little drops of water,Little grains of sand,Make the mighty oceanAnd the pleasant land.So the little moments,Humble though they be,Make the mighty agesOf Eternity.So the little errorsLead the soul awayFrom the paths of virtueFar in sin to stray.Little deeds of kindness,Little words of love,Help to make earth happy,Like the Heaven above.”
