Life's pretty tough . . . you're lucky if you live through it.

As I went walking I saw a sign there And on the sign it said "No Trespassing." But on the other side it didn't say nothing, That side was made for you and me. This land is your land, this land is my land From California to the New York island From the Redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me.

I have decided long ago that my songs and ballads would not get the hugs and kisses of the capitalistic experts.

Any fool can make something complicated. It takes a genius to make it simple.

I like to write about wherever I happen to be.

All about a human being is, it's a great big hoping machine.

Love is the only medicine I believe in.
