Being scared can keep a man from getting killed, and often makes a better fighter out of him.

My lady had the body of a siren, the face of a goddess, and the mind of an Armenian camel dealer.

A man who says he has never been scared is either lying or else he's never been any place or done anything.

To die is nothing. One is here, one is no longer here. It is only at the end one must be able to say 'I was a man'.

For one who reads, there is no limit to the number of lives that may be lived, for fiction, biography, and history offer an inexhaustible number of lives in many parts of the world, in all periods of time.

I don't believe you know anything about a man like me or a country like this. It takes rough men, Miss Fair, to tame a rough country; rough men, but good men. Your father is in that class. As for you, I don't think you'd measure up, and you'll do well to leave it. You're a hothouse flower, very soft, very appealing and very useless...In the world you are going to, men want pretty useless women. They want toys for their lighte moments, and we have those women out here, too, only we have another name for them. We want women who can make a home, and if need be, handle a rifle.

If you want the law to leave you alone, keep your hair trimmed and your boots shined.
