“I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down, Livin’ in the hopeless, hungry side of town, I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime, But is there because he’s a victim of the times. I wear the black for those who never read.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“I wore black because I liked it. I still do, and wearing it still means something to me. It’s still my symbol of rebellion — against a stagnant status quo, against our hypocritical houses of God, against people whose minds are closed to others’ ideas.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“I was wearing black clothes almost from the beginning. I feel comfortable in black. I felt like black looked good onstage, that it was attractive, so I started wearing it all the time.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“I wear black because I’m comfortable in it. But then in the summertime when it’s hot I’m comfortable in light blue.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“Everybody was wearing rhinestones, all those sparkly clothes, and cowboy boots. I decided to wear a black shirt and pants and see if I could get by with it. I did and I’ve worn black clothes ever since.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“The gospel of Christ must always be an open door with a welcome sign for all.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“The Master of Life been good to me. He has given me strength to face past illnesses, and victory in the face of defeat. He has given me life and joy where other saw oblivion. He Has given new purpose to live for, new services to render and old wounds to heal. Life and love go on, let the music play.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“How well I have learned that there is no fence to sit on between heaven and hell. There is a deep, wide gulf, a chasm, and in that chasm is no place for any man.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“There is a spiritual side to me that goes real deep, but I confess right up front that I’m the biggest sinner of them all.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“I love songs about horses, railroads, land, Judgment Day, family, hard times, whiskey, courtship, marriage, adultery, separation, murder, war, prison, rambling, damnation, home, salvation, death, pride, humor, piety, rebellion, patriotism, larceny, determination, tragedy, rowdiness, heartbreak and love. And Mother. And God.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“I have tried drugs and a little of everything else, and there iss nothing in the world more soul-satisfying than having the kingdom of God building inside you and growing.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“God’s the final judge for Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash too. That’s solely in the hands of God.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“We’ll all be equal under the grass, and God’s got a heaven for country trash.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“I read novels but I also read the Bible. And study it, you know? And the more I learn, the more excited I get.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“Life is the question and life is the answer, and God is the reason and love is the way.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“No matter how much you’ve sinned, no matter how much you’ve stumbled, no matter how much you fall, no matter how far you’ve got from God, don’t give up. You can still be redeemed. As someone says, keep the faith.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“If you don’t get outside every day, even for a minute, you have not appreciated what God has done. It makes you grateful for our surroundings, and it starts your day differently.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“I don’t have Paul’s calling – I’m not out there being all things to all men to win them for Christ – but sometimes I can be a signpost. Sometimes I can sow a seed. And post-hole diggers and seed sowers are mighty important in the building of the Kingdom.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“All your life, you will be faced with a choice. You can choose love or hate…I choose love.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“I’m not really concerned about boundaries. I just follow my conscience and my heart. Follow your heart. That’s what I do. Compassion is something I have a lot of, because I’ve been through a lot of pain in my life. Anybody who has suffered a lot of pain has a lot of compassion.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“There’s no way around grief and loss: you can dodge all you want, but sooner or later you just have to go into it, through it, and, hopefully, come out the other side. The world you find there will never be the same as the world you left.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“She’s the greatest woman I have ever known. Nobody else, except my mother, comes close.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“Backstage at the Grand Ole Opry, I got on my knees and told her that I was going to marry her some day. We were both married to someone else at the time. ‘Ring Of Fire’ — June and Merle Kilgore wrote that song for me – that’s the way our love affair was. We fell madly in love and we worked together all the time, toured together all the time, and when the tour was over we both had to go home to other people. It hurt.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“When my wife died, I booked myself into the studio just to work, to occupy myself.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“There’s unconditional love there. You hear that phrase a lot but it’s real with me and her [June Carter]. She loves me in spite of everything, in spite of myself. She has saved my life more than once. She’s always been there with her love, and it has certainly made me forget the pain for a long time, many times. When it gets dark and everybody’s gone home and the lights are turned off, it’s just me and her.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“Happiness is being at peace, being with loved ones, being comfortable…but most of all, it’s having those loved ones.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“I love the freedoms we got in this country, I appreciate your freedom to burn your flag if you want to, but I really appreciate my right to bear arms so I can shoot you if you try to burn mine.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“It makes me so mad that some people underestimate the wisdom and energy of young people. All because they don’t look the way older folks think they should look. I’m working on a song about it. Maybe some of those closed minded people will realize long hair and tattoos don’t mean they should be ignored. Close minded people are part of what’s wrong with this world.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“You can ask the people around me. I don’t give up. I don’t give up… and it’s not out of frustration and desperation that I say I don’t give up. I don’t give up because I don’t give up. I don’t believe in it.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“A rose looks grey at midnight, but the flame is just asleep. And steel is strong because it knows the hammer and white heat.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“The battle against the dark one, and the clinging to the right one, is what my life is about.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“It’s good to know who hates you and it is good to be hated by the right people.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“Money can’t buy back your youth when you’re old, a friend when you’re lonely, or peace to your soul.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“If you aren’t gonna say exactly how and what you feel, you might as well not say anything at all.”
Quote by -Johnny Cash
“I love weather. I’m a connoisseur of weather. Wherever my travels take me, the first thing I do is turn on the weather channel and see what’s going on, what’s coming. I like to know about regional weather patterns, how storms are created in different altitudes, what kinds of clouds are forming or dissipating or blowing through, where the winds are coming from, where they’ve been. That’s not a passion everybody shares, I know, but I don’t believe there are any people on earth who, properly sheltered, don’t feel the peace inside a summer rain and the cleansing it brings, the renewal of the earth in its aftermath.”
