I'd like to be remembered as a man who went to Heaven and not another place.

I don't owe one man one cent. Anywhere.

Don't be a blueprint. Be an original.

Television made a lot of difference in country music. It's progress. I believe in progress.

Put your trust in the Lord and go ahead. Worry gets you no place.

I've done a whole lot of things. I've had the pleasure of introducing two presidents, several senators and congressmen.

The greatest thing the Democrats have ever done for me was to defeat me for the governor of Tennessee.
