A crowned queen was never treated with more reverence than I was by those whole-souled western boys…And for seventeen long years I was just their little sister, sharing both their news of joy and sorrow from home.

God intended women to be outside as well as men, and they do not know what they are missing when they stay cooped up in the house.

My mother…was perfectly horrified when I began shooting and tried to keep me in school, but I would run away and go quail shooting in the woods or trim my dresses with wreaths of wildflowers.

Aim at a high mark and you will hit it.

I would like to see every woman know how to handle guns as naturally as they know how to handle babies.

Any woman who does not thoroughly enjoy tramping across the country on a clear frosty morning with a good gun and a pair of dogs does not know how to enjoy life.

I ain't afraid to love a man. I ain't afraid to shoot him either.
