Knowledge is awareness, and to it are many paths, not all of them paved with logic. But sometimes one is guided through the maze by intuition. One is led by something felt on the wind, something seen in the stars, something that calls from the wasteland to the spirit Picture Quote #1

Actors, politicians, and writers-all of us are but creatures of the hour. Long-lasting fame comes to but few Picture Quote #1

You are your own best teacher. My advice is to question all things. Seek for answers, and when you find what seems to be an answer, question that, too Picture Quote #1

... we must read, not only for what we read but for what it makes us think Picture Quote #1

It is better to have no emotion when it is work. Do what needs to be done, and do it coolly Picture Quote #1

Books are precious things, but more than that, they are the strong backbone of civilization. They are the thread upon which it all hangs, and they can save us when all else is lost Picture Quote #1

Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers, for each rage leaves him less than he had been before - it takes something from him Picture Quote #1

Books are the building blocks of civilization, for without the written word, a man knows nothing beyond what occurs during his own brief years and, perhaps, in a few tales his parents tell him Picture Quote #1

Who mentioned the Church? On the contrary, I have great respect for religion. My objection is to those who are against so many things and for so little Picture Quote #1

Living a life is much like climbing mountains-the summits are always further off than you think, but when a man has a goal, he always feels he’s working toward something Picture Quote #1

There is no man more dangerous than one who does not doubt his own rightness Picture Quote #1

If you write a book about a bygone period that lies east of the Mississippi River, then it’s a historical novel. If it’s west of the Mississippi, it’s a western, a different category. There’s no sense to it Picture Quote #1

Often I hear people say they do not have time to read. That’s absolute nonsense. If one really wants to learn, one has to decide what is important. Spending an evening on the town? Attending a ball game? Or learning something that can be with you your life long Picture Quote #1

After a few days, I mused, I would have no trouble. Whoever heard of a revolution of fat men? Picture Quote #1

Out here you better have a gun, and a gun in the wagon ain’t good for nothin’. I believe what the old Quaker said, ‘Trust in the Lord, but keep your powder dry Picture Quote #1

Knowledge was not meant to be locked behind doors. It breathes best in the open air where all men can inhale its essence Picture Quote #1

There are shadows for the shadows of things, as a reflection seen in a mirror of a mirror. We know there are circles within circles and dimensions beyond dimension. Reality is itself a shadow, only an appearance accepted by those whose eyes shun what might lie beyond Picture Quote #1

A true gentleman is at a disadvantage in dealing with women. Women are realists, and their tactics are realistic, so no man should be a gentleman where women are concerned unless the women are very, very old or very, very young. Women admire gentlemen, and sleep with cads Picture Quote #1

Few of us ever live in the present. We are forever anticipating what is to come or remembering what has gone Picture Quote #1

When you go to a country, you must learn how to say two things: how to ask for food, and to tell a woman that you love her. Of these the second is more important, for if you tell a woman you love her, she will certainly feed you Picture Quote #1

I would not sit waiting for some vague tomorrow, nor for something to happen. One could wait a lifetime, and find nothing at the end of the waiting. I would begin here, I would make something happen Picture Quote #1

Some say opportunity knocks only once, that is not true. Opportunity knocks all the time, but you have to be ready for it. If the chance comes, you must have the equipment to take advantage of it Picture Quote #1

Trade is much superior to piracy. You can rob and kill a man but once, but you can cheat him again and again Picture Quote #1

I’m actually writing history. It isn’t what you’d call big history. I don’t write about presidents and generals... I write about the man who was ranching, the man who was mining, the man who was opening up the country Picture Quote #1
