You know what I think? If I am tired now, I don't mind, because I have eternity to rest.

I've had only three wives and three guitars in my life, though I've flirted with others.

It is always about discovering what, hidden, does not lie on the paper.

My prayer to the Lord every day, is this-I have been a great sinner. I do not deserve Heaven. Let me stay here.

The guitar is a small orchestra. It is polyphonic. Every string is a different color, a different voice.

Among God's creatures two, the dog and the guitar, have taken all the sizes and all the shapes, in order not to be separated from the man.

I was my own teacher and pupil, in a comradeship so firm and persevering that the most trying incidents of my life served only to strengthen the union.
