“Affairs go on, and all will take some shape or other, but it keeps one in hot water all the time.”

“Worship without a symbol, a garden without a source of water, and the household affairs of one without a woman, all these are doomed to fail.”

“Knowledge is hot water on wool. It shrinks time and space.”

“Human nature is like water. It takes the shape of its container.”

“As the saying goes, it takes all kinds to make the world go around, though perhaps some shouldn't go quite so far around it as others.”

“Tradition takes time to change. But it changes, all right. All that I have to do is to keep trying.”

“I like to drink hot honey in water, I like to be very calm before going onstage, I don't talk at all before hand unless I'm doing warm-ups.”

“My countrymen, one and all, think calmly and well upon this whole subject. Nothing valuable can be lost by taking time. If there be an object to hurry any of you in hot haste to a step which you would never take deliberately, that object will be frustrated by taking time; but no good object can be frustrated by it.”

“I've been going a long time now
along the way I've learned some things.

You have to make the good times yourself
take the little times and make them into big times
and save the times that are all right
for the ones that aren't so good.”

“It's going to take some time this time
To get myself in shape.
I really fell out of line this time,
I really missed the gate.
The birds on the telephone line, (next time)
Are cryin' out to me, (next time)
And I won't be so blind next time
And I'll find some harmony.”
