I've seen so many people in this business that made a fortune. They get old and broke and can't make any money. I tell you something... no one's going to play a benefit for Jimmy Dean.

I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.

I won't go hunting with you, Jake, but I'll go chasing women.

I've seen a jillion miracles. They're all around. Every green leaf is a miracle.

Do what you say you're going to do. And try to do it a little bit better than you said you would.

I used to help my granddaddy make sausage. He would mix it up in a cleaned-out washtub with his hands, no gloves. Man, if we did anything like that today, they would jack the jail up and throw us under it.

I made more money yesterday than I ever thought I'd make in an entire lifetime. But it's like somebody's going to take it all away from me and I'll be back in Texas, installing them damned irrigation wells. I didn't like that when I was sixteen. And I know I wouldn't like it when I'm eighty.
