All of you cowboys, fight for your land. - Woody Guthrie

No matter how bad the wicked world has hurt you, in the long run, there is something gained, and it is all for the best … The note of hope is the only note that can help us or save us from falling to the bottom of the heap of evolution, because, largely, about all a human being is, anyway, is just a hoping machine, a working machine, and any song that says, the pleasures I have seen in all of my trouble, are the things I never can get — don't worry — the human race will sing this way as long as there is a human to race. The human race is a pretty old place.

Let me be known as just the man that told you something you already knew.

I know the police cause you trouble
They cause trouble everywhere
But when you die and go to heaven
You find no policeman there
