“There is nothing more dangerous than a woman with a shotgun. Because you don't know when it's going to go off...and neither does she.”
“No man ever raised a monument to a cynic or wrote a poem about a man without faith.”
“He never knew when he was whipped ... So he never was.......”
“If you want the law to leave you alone, keep your hair trimmed and your boots shined.”
