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'.

Trail dust is thicker'n blood.

Knowledge is like money: to be of value it must circulate, and in circulating it can increase in quantity and, hopefully, in value.

A man can lose sight of everything else when he's bent on revenge, and it ain't worth it.

Knowledge is awareness, and to it there are many paths, not all of them paved with logic.

When at the typewriter I am no longer where I site but am away across the mountains, in ancient cities or on the Great Plains among the buffalo. Often I think of what pitiful fools are those who use mind-altering drugs to seek feelings they do not have, each drug taking a little more from what they have of mind, leaving them a little less. Give the brain encouragement from study, from thinking, from visualizing, and no drugs are needed.

Knowledge was meant to be shared.
