"If Not for You" is a song by Bob Dylan, recorded for his 1970 album New Morning. It was released as a single in Europe, and was a Top 40 hit in the Netherlands.
In November 1970, a month after Dylan's original had appeared, George Harrison released a version of the song on his triple album All Things Must Pass. Another well-known cover of the song was recorded by Olivia Newton-John, who had a hit with "If Not for You" in 1971.

“But a cultivated man becomes ashamed of his property, out of new respect for his nature. Especially he hates what he has if he see that it is accidental,—came to him by inheritance, or gift, or crime; then he feels that it is not having; it does not belong to him, has no root in him and merely lies there because no revolution or no robber takes it away.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for. As for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“Have windy words no limit? Or what provokes you that you keep on talking?”
—Bible: Hebrew, Job 16:3.
