It is only when the mind is free from the old that it meets everything anew, and in that there is joy.

You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do.

You'll never do a whole lot unless you're brave enough to try.

Treat a work of art like a prince. Let it speak to you first.

Years from now, after I'm gone, someone will listen to what I've done and know I was here. They may not know or care who I was, but they'll hear my guitars speaking for me.

I think nature's imagination Is so much greater than man's, she's never going to let us relax.

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

I am always doing what I cannot do yet, in order to learn how to do it.

Be happy, but never satisfied.

A lot of people have gone further than they thought they could because someone else thought they could

Know thyself.

There are only 3 colors, 10 digits, and 7 notes; its what we do with them that's important.

Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.

When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm already better than them.

I know in my heart that man is good, that what is right will always eventually triumph, and there is purpose and worth to each and every life.

The man with no imagination has no wings.

One man with courage is a majority.

As long as I'm in great shape, nobody beats me, for sure.

I want to know what passion is. I want to feel something strongly.

Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties.
