Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.
All battles are fought by scared men who'd rather be some place else.
I don’t feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.
Government has no wealth, and when a politician promises to give you something for nothing, he must first confiscate that wealth from you – either by direct taxes, or by the cruelly indirect tax of inflation.
I won’t be wronged. I won’t be insulted. I won’t be laid a-hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.

A man deserves a second chance, but keep an eye on him.
The guy you see on the screen isn’t really me. I’m Duke Morrison, and I never was and never will be a film personality like JOHN WAYNE. I know him well. I’m one of his closest students. I have to be. I made a living out of him.
I have tried to live my life so that my family would love me and my friends respect me. The others can do whatever the hell they please.
I’ve always followed my father’s advice: he told me, first to always keep my word and, second, to never insult anybody unintentionally. If I insult you, you can be goddamn sure I intend to. And, third, he told me not to go around looking for trouble.
Tomorrow hopes we have learned something from yesterday.
A friend of mine told me to shoot first and ask questions later. I was going to ask him why, but I had to shoot him.
I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to the point of responsibility. I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people.
I’ve had three wives, six children and six grandchildren and I still don’t understand women.
Out here, due process is a bullet.
I’d like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living.
I am a demonstrative man, a baby picker-upper, a hugger and a kisser – that’s my nature.
My hope and prayer is that everyone know and love our country for what she really is and what she stands for.
