There's no stopping a man who knows he's in the right and keeps a-coming.

Caution always, but when a man acts he should act suddenly and with decision.

Any man can shoot a gun, and with practice he can draw fast and shoot accurately, but that makes no difference. What counts is how you stand up when somebody is shooting back at you.

The fact of the matter is that poor men do not often steal, and when they do, it is petty theft, something to eat or perhaps an item of clothing to keep them from the cold. Thieves are usually those who have something and want more.

To pursue a man effectively, it is best to begin with his thinking.

Carryin' a gun is a chancy thing. Sooner or later a man is put in a position to use it. And a body has to figure that if somebody packs iron he plans to use it when the time comes; and if he draws it out, he plans to shoot.

No man ever raised a monument to a cynic or wrote a poem about a man without faith.

A man shares his days with hunger, thirst, and cold, with the good times and the bad, and the first part of being a man is to understand that.
