When will we ever learn? When will we ever learn?

I love my country very dearly, and I greatly resent the implication that some of the places I have sung and some of the people that I have known, and some of my opinions, whether they are religious or philosophical, or I might be a vegetarian, make me any less of an American.

Do you know the difference between education and experience? Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you don't.

And when one person taps out a beat, while another leads into the melody, or when three people discover a harmony they never knew existed, or a crowd joins in on a chorus as though to raise the ceiling a few feet higher, then they also know there is hope for the world.

Education is when you read the fine print. Experience is what you get if you don't.

If there's a world here in a hundred years, it's going to be saved by tens of millions of little things. The powers-that-be can break up any big thing they want. They can corrupt it or co-opt it from the inside, or they can attack it from the outside. But what are they going to do about 10 million little things? They break up two of them, and three more like them spring up!

The key to the future of the world is finding the optimistic stories and letting them be known.

If there is a world here in a hundred years, it's going to be saved by tens of millions of little things.

This banjo surrounds hate and forces it to surrender.

Participation - that's what's gonna save the human race.
