It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.

I have knocked on the door of this man's soul and found someone home.

It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.

One of these days, someone smarter and younger and more articulate than I is going to get through to the American people just how really messed up the federal government has become. And when that happens, the American people are going to rise up like that football crowd in Cleveland and run both teams off the field.

I can remember that little thrill - that little shiver of excitement - when the Opry audience would encore a person because that person had touched them so.

My family is more important than my party.
