Willie Nelson

Cruelty is all out of ignorance. If you knew what was in store for you, you wouldn’t hurt anybody, because whatever you do comes back more forcefully than you send it out.

Willie Nelson

Freedom is control in your own life. I have more control now than in the past, and I’m learning the value of saying no. That’s very important.

Willie Nelson

I take it not only a day at a time, but a moment at a time, and keep it at that pace. If you can be happy right now, then you’ll always be happy, because it’s always in the now.

Willie Nelson

If you can be content right now, then you’ll always be content, because it’s always right now.

Willie Nelson

If you start out looking at somebody, wondering whether he’s good or bad, I think you’re starting out in the wrong direction. I think we’re all good and we’re all bad.

Willie Nelson

If you’re not crazy there’s something wrong with you.

Willie Nelson

If you’ve made your own hell, then only you hold the power to escape it.

Willie Nelson

It’s an ongoing problem, an ongoing situation, life is. It’s just life, and it never stops and it never will. You just be thankful for what you’ve got, and move on.

Willie Nelson

My doctor tells me I should start slowing it down – but there are more old drunks than there are old doctors so let’s all have another round.

Willie Nelson

We create our own unhappiness. The purpose of suffering is to help us understand we are the ones who cause it.
