Success is not built on what we accomplish for ourselves. Its foundation lies in what we do for others.
I've become a captive of my own ambitions.
I can't miss a night's work and let my public down.
The one thing I wanted to do more than anything else was sing country music.
Mother would come and pick me up at work and take me wherever I could get a job. Mother didn't trust anybody with me. Usually we'd get home at 3 in the morning.
I don't want to get rich - just live good.

These are the things I prize And hold of dearest worth: Light of the sapphire skies, Peace of the silent hills, Shelter of the forests, comfort of the grass, Music of birds, murmur of little rills, Shadows of cloud that swiftly pass, And, after showers, The smell of flowers And of the good brown earth,- And best of all, along the way, friendship and mirth.
The world values the seer above all men, and has always done so. Nay, it values all men in proportion as they partake of the character of seers. You love them because you say, These things were not made, they were seen.
A certain jollity of mind, pickled in the scorn of fortune.
