This-this was what made life: a moment of quiet, the water falling in the fountain, the girl's voice. . . a moment of captured beauty. Those who are truly wise will never permit such moments to escape.

The saddle is a place for dreaming when there's hours of trail ahead.

You can't fight the desert... you have to ride with it.

After a few days, I mused, I would have no trouble. Whoever heard of a revolution of fat men?

There are good men everywhere. I only wish they had louder voices.

To a fool time brings only age not wisdom.

Have faith in God but keep your powder dry.
