Country people do not behave as if they think life is short; they live on the principle that it is long, and savor variations of the kind best appreciated if most days are the same.
‐‐ Edward Hoagland
Country people give me more than writers, and country places than towns.
‐‐ Leonard Alfred George Strong
Country radio certainly widens the boundaries of what I can do. Other artists may do something more edgy that gets on radio and that opens the door for me to be more edgy, I think.
‐‐ Clint Black
Country radio is much more like a family than any other group of people that I've met.
‐‐ Taylor Swift
Country radio went through a time where they were trying to pigeonhole everybody, and trying to make the gap really narrow, and I think that they've opened that up a little bit.
‐‐ Tim McGraw
Country's hip; it's cool music.

Country seems to be finding a bigger audience. Certainly an audience out of the general country scene is finding me.
‐‐ Keith Urban
Country taught me how to sing, it put me on a path. But I was never going to be locked into a formula. I don't want to be considered a current country artist.
‐‐ Emmylou Harris
Country was about character. Country's changed because of monsters like Clear Channel who bought up all the stations and sliced them up into formats. Our demographic is now the soccer mom.

Couples counseling gets many couples back together. But not all, and not always. For your own sake and that of your children, however, I recommend it - I almost insist on it - as the first step for anyone unhappy in a relationship.
‐‐ Laura Wasser
Couples in their 30s are having trouble having kids. And you just kind of extrapolate that and say, 'What if it happened to everybody? What kind of society would it be like if all of a sudden we knew that this was the end of the line - we couldn't have kids?'
‐‐ David Alpay
Couples that do save have stronger, more stable, less stressful unions. In other words, you don't want to be fighting about saving; you just want to be saving, period.
‐‐ Jean Chatzky
Couples without kids have each other, their friends, families, and Siri to talk to. It's not like they're quarantining themselves in an underground bunker, never to take a romantic stroll on the beach or attend a Morrissey concert ever again. They're just using birth control.

Courage enlarges, cowardice diminishes resources. In desperate straits the fears of the timid aggravate the dangers that imperil the brave.
‐‐ Christian Nestell Bovee
Courage: Great Russian word, fit for the songs of our children's children, pure on their tongues, and free.

‐‐ Rudy Giuliani
Courage is never to let your actions be influenced by your fears.
‐‐ Arthur Koestler
