Next thing you know they'll take your thoughts away.

It's not how big your pencil is; it's how you write your name.

I like jazz, but I could never play it. You just sit there with a guitar the size of a Chevy on your chest, wearing a stupid hat, playing the same solo for an hour.

Next thing you know they'll take your thoughts away.

Moving on, is a simple thing, what it leaves behind is hard.

If you guys are going to be throwing beer bottles at us, at least make sure they're full.

The Bible and several other self help or enlightenment books cite the Seven Deadly Sins. They are: pride, greed, lust, envy, wrath, sloth, and gluttony. That pretty much covers everything that we do, that is sinful... or fun for that matter.

I am interested in politics.

I care about what the fans feel.

I didn't like the way I was let go from Metallica.

I guess because I had such a horrible life growing up, going from place to place not knowing what I was gonna do and ending up being homeless, there was a lot of pain and a lot of anger that was coming out through my guitar playing.

I treat people the way I want to be treated, which makes me odd.

I wouldn't vote for Obama.

I've never believed in singing about Satan and thinking he's cool, because he's not.

If I were president of the United States, I'd build a great wall along the Mexican border and not let anybody in.

Megadeth doesn't sound anything like Metallica.

Megadeth is a legend, and I'm not gonna cheapen it like some of these bands that keep going long after they should.

My guitar was a loyal person to me.

My mom and dad got divorced when I was very young, and growing up in a family where the head of the household wasn't a man made a big difference.

No, I care more about what God knows than what man says.

One of my first records that I heard was 'Wish You Were Here' by Pink Floyd.

Penelope Spheeris is a wonderful lady.

Playing live is basically just hyperactivity and a certain sense of enchantment that I deliver to the audience, to let them know what it would be like to be inside my head.

The guitar influence that affected my songwriting came from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.

The very first schoolbook that was written had God all over it.

Well, the stuff that I liked growing up was AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, but I also liked the Beatles and guys like Cat Stevens and Elton John.

What I couldn't say verbally I was able to express physically through the guitar.

Moving on is a simple thing what it leaves behind is hard.

It is chiefly through books that we enjoy intercourse with superior minds. In the best books, great men talk to us, give us their most precious thoughts, and pour their souls into ours.

The world is... the natural setting of, and field for, all my thoughts and all my explicit perceptions. Truth does not inhabit only the inner man, or more accurately, there is no inner man, man is in the world, and only in the world does he know himself.

Kind thoughts are rarer than either kind words or deeds. They imply a great deal of thinking about others. This in itself is rare. But they also imply a great deal of thinking about others without the thoughts being criticisms. This is rarer still.

Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.

Even if you walk exactly the same route each time - as with a sonnet - the events along the route cannot be imagined to be the same from day to day, as the poet's health, sight, his anticipations, moods, fears, thoughts cannot be the same.

Generally students are the best vehicles for passing on ideas, for their thoughts are plastic and can be molded and they can adjust the ideas of old men to the shape of reality as they find it in villages and hills of China or in ghettos and suburbs of America.

The mind moves in the direction of our currently dominant thoughts.

There is no other who experiences your thoughts or your feelings.

From heav'nly thoughts all true delight doth spring.

If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought.

Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind.

Another principle is, the deepest affections of our hearts gather around some human form in which are incarnated the living thoughts and ideas of the passing age.

Chance gives rise to thoughts, and chance removes them; no art can keep or acquire them.

I agree that it is not just the extremists who harbor bad thoughts or engage in bad acts, but they are usually the source of the polarization and try to keep education and communication of the main stream from moving forward.

Hillary Clinton bothers me a lot. I realized the other day that her thoughts sound a lot like Karl Marx. She hangs around a lot of Marxists. All her friends are Marxists.

Man is made or unmade by himself. By the right choice he ascends. As a being of power, intelligence, and love, and the lord of his own thoughts, he holds the key to every situation.

Welcome, wild harbinger of spring! To this small nook of earth; Feeling and fancy fondly cling, Round thoughts which owe their birth, To thee, and to the humble spot, Where chance has fixed thy lowly lot.

How often misused words generate misleading thoughts.

Words were not given to man in order to conceal his thoughts.

All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant's revolving door.

A man is infinitely more complicated than his thoughts.
