A Quote by Billie Joe Armstrong

Music - that's been my education. There's not a day that goes by that I take it for granted. — © Billie Joe Armstrong
Music - that's been my education. There's not a day that goes by that I take it for granted.
I've been a practicing physician for over 30 years. Every day, I get to wake up and do a job I love - it's not something I take for granted. I want every child in our commonwealth to have that same opportunity, and the foundation for that is a quality education.
The day it all changed. The day I stated never to take anything for granted. The day I learned to take charge of my life. It was the day I was diagnosed with cancer.
They don't fund the arts enough and they so often take words and music for granted and performers for granted - particularly women.
I had been raised in the mountains of Idaho by a father who distrusted many of the institutions that people take for granted - public education, doctors and hospitals, and the government.
At the end of the day, I think everybody takes for granted that they get up, get out of bed every morning - just the mere fact that they can stand in front of the mirror and brush their teeth and get in their car and take off? A lot of people take their health for granted.
I listen to music every day and that is a fact. My son pointed out the other day that there's not a day that goes by without him listening to music in our house. I'm still an avid punter when it comes to either checking out bands or buying new music.
This is just the way it goes: there's always a cycle with music - it goes up and it goes down, it goes risque and it goes back, it goes loud then it goes soft, then it goes rock and it goes pop.
I never take my things for granted, or the things I've been granted will get taken away.
I'm not going to get involved in a debate with you. Just remember this: the gods give, and the gods take away. Even if you are not aware of having been granted what you posses, the gods remember what they gave you. They don't forget a thing. You should use the abilities you have been granted with the utmost care.
Most people who use the Internet seem take its nature and characteristics for granted, like we take air and water for granted.
I try to take time to find joy out of life, and I don't take a day for granted like I used to.
Music is important. It says things you heart can't say any other way, and in a language everyone speaks. Music crosses borders, turns smiles into frowns, and vice versa. These observations are shared with a hope: that, when schools cut back on music classes, they really think about what they're doing - and don't take music for granted.
The day I take either my body or my work for granted will be the day you hear that I've smashed every inch of myself to pieces.
For us, every day is Earth Day. It's like with Women's Day recently, I said, "Every day is women's day - we're women!" It's something that we sort of take for granted.
Take nothing for granted. Not one blessed, cool mountain day or one hellish, desert day or one sweaty, stinky, hiking companion. It is all a gift.
You just can't take a day for granted. We had to work really hard for anything, and so that's been instilled in me. And I don't look at myself as better than anybody else, because in an instant everything can change.
