Life is – the way God has given it to me was just a platter – a golden platter of life laid out there for me. Its been beautiful.

Love is a burning thing and it makes a firey ring.

My arms are too short to box with God.

My daddy left home when I was three and he didn’t leave much to Ma and me, just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.

Johnny Cash

My father was a man of love. He always loved me to death. He worked hard in the fields, but my father never hit me. Never. I don’t ever remember a really cross, unkind word from my father.

My mother always told me that any talent is a gift of God and I always believed it. If I quit, I would just live in front of the television and get fat and die pretty soon.

Johnny Cash

My mother was determined that I was going to leave the farm and do well in life. And she thought with the gift, I might be able to do that.

Johnny Cash

Of travel I’ve had my share, man, I’ve been everywhere.

Johnny Cash

One day, I just decided I’m ready to go. So I went down with my guitar and sat on the front steps of Sam Phillips recording studio.

Johnny Cash

People call me wild. Not really though, I’m not. I guess I’ve never been normal, not what you call establishment. I’m country.
