“A bell's not a bell 'til you ring it A song's not a song 'til you sing it Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay Love isn't love 'til you give it away!”

“I learned very early in life that: "Without a song, the day would never end; without a friend, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend- without a song" So I keep singing a song.”
Elvis Presley
“There's no insecurity about my song writing. I start a lot more songs than I finish, because I realize when I get into them, they're no good. I don't throw them away, I just put them away, store them, get them out of sight.”
Johnny Cash
“Every song is different. Every song comes in a different way. Some songs will come in a day and some will take two years to write.”
Jenny Phillips
“Some days there won't be a song in your heart. Sing anyway.”
Emory Austin
