Not sure if this counts as one line:
I don't know why you wanna tell me
When I'm right or when I'm wrong
It's the same thing, in your mind,
The only time I'm right is when I play along. Probably two, so here's a one:

Yeah I wish I could right a song like Townes Van Zandt
then I could be a son of a bitch and no one would give a damn.

The good ole days weren’t always good and tomorrow ain’t as bad as it seems
Billy Joel keeping the faith


Billy's most catalogue is filled with words full of wisdom.

In "Piano Man"- 'and they're sharing a drink called loneliness, but it's better than drinking alone'.

In "Angry Young Man"- 'I believe I've passed the age of consciousness
And righteous rage
I found that just surviving was a noble fight
I once believed in causes too
I had my pointless point of view
And life went on no matter who was wrong or right'

In "Tell Her About It"- almost the entire song is based on advice from somebody full of wisdom.

The guy is a musical genius IMO.

We'll drag a dream into existence.

Rush - Vital Signs

She's talking in her sleep
It's keeping me awake
Every word is nonsense
But I understand them all.

And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away in
The tidal destruction, the moral melee
The elastic retreat rings the close of play
As the last wave uncovers the newfangled way---Ian Anderson

He was just 18, proud and brave
But a Yankee laid him in his grave
- The Band

When something’s not right it’s wrong

When you ain’t got nothing, you got nothing to lose

How many ears must one man have, before he can hear people cry

One life, you got to do what you should
- U2

You can take a boy out of ol’ dixie land, lord, but you’ll never take ol’ dixie from a boy
- Skynyrd

You will still be here tomorrow but your dreams may not

Repugnant is the creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to Heaven conscious of its fleeting time here.

I'll go with the last word by The Beatles.

And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make.

Two of my favorites...

"Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse?" ~ The River, Bruce Springsteen


"It was the third of September
That day I'll always remember,
'Cause that was the day that my daddy died" ~ Papa Was a Rolling Stone, The Temptations
