Along with a sense of humor, my songs have to be sincere, and they have to be sung from a position of inner conviction.
Arlo Guthrie
I've had such a satisfying life professionally and personally. I hope my tombstone says, 'Never boring.'

What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it - would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have.
Ralph Marston
Life's like a play: it's not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters.

True love is not a strong, fiery, impetuous passion. It is, on the contrary, an element calm and deep. It looks beyond mere externals, and is attracted by qualities alone. It is wise and discriminating, and its devotion is real and abiding.
Ellen G. White

Martin Luther King, Jr.
No man is worth his salt who is not ready at all times to risk his well-being, to risk his body, to risk his life, in a great cause.
Theodore Roosevelt
