I'm gonna be your friend in high tide or in low tide.

Why is it so hard for people to believe that white people are poor?! I wouldn't say I lived in a ghetto; I'd say I lived in the 'hood. The same friends I had back then are the same people on tour with me now.

I knew Fred since I was 14 and was first going to the Old Town School, Fred used to work part-time in the store. Every time I wrote a song Fred would turn on his really good high-class tape recorder, reel-to-reel, and record it. So he's got recordings of me on guitar singing all my songs in his apartment long before I ever recorded for a recording company. I never found out what happened to the tapes.

Go up close to your friend, but do not go over to him! We should also respect the enemy in our friend.

Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.

The best friend will probably acquire the best wife, because a good marriage is founded on the talent for friendship.
