The top 10 most inspiring quotes by George Jones
- There are questions I’m still not wise enough to answer, just wise enough to no longer ask.
- The only thing different between sinners and saints is one is forgiven and the other ain’t.
- I took my $100,000 and bought a new Corvette, a lot of cocaine, and spent the rest on foolishness.
- Country music to me is heartfelt music that speaks to the common man. It is about real life stories with rather simple melodies that the average person can follow. Country music should speak directly and simply about the highs and lows of life. Something that anyone can relate to.
- Walk through this world with me, go where I go. Share all your dreams with me, for I love you so.
- Maybe some folks are alcoholics and others are just voluntary drunks. Maybe some folks drink due to body chemistry and others due to their lazy characters. Maybe some have drinking problems, while others have problems enough to drink.
- There’s bad in everything. I dislike people misusing something that I love so much. It goes beyond the money. It goes beyond all of that and the glory. I love what I’ve done and I just can’t stand to see what they’re doing to it. But I’ve learned to live with it because that’s what they’ve done. They’ve come in with the modern sounds. I call it modern pop. It’s not country anymore.
- You can shut out the world. But you always have to stop, and the world is always waiting when you do.
- I just thank God I’m still here and the main thing is to try to get closer and closer to Him as much as I can so that I can treat my friends and my family the way they should be treated.
- There, gleaming in the glow, was that ten-horsepower rotary engine under a seat. A key glistening in the ignition. I imagine the top speed for that old mower was five miles per hour. It might have taken an hour and a half or more for me to get to the liquor store, but get there I did.
