Every Indian outbreak that I have ever known has resulted from broken promises and broken treaties by the government.

My restless, roaming spirit would not allow me to remain at home very long.

I could never resist the call of the trail.

The cholera had broken out at the post, and five or six men were dying daily.

The Indians said the bones were those of a race of people ... three times the size of a man.

But the West of the old times, with its strong characters, its stern battles and its tremendous stretches of loneliness, can never be blotted from my mind.

As a good horse is not very apt to jump over a bank, if left to guide himself, I let mine pick his own way.

I felt only as a man can feel who is roaming over the prairies of the far West, well armed, and mounted on a fleet and gallant steed.

The Indians kept increasing in numbers until it was estimated that we were fighting from 800 to 1,000 of them.

My debut upon the world's stage occurred on February 26th, 1845.

The Indians were well mounted and felt proud and elated because they had been made United States soldiers.

Within all beings resides the unlimited power of the creative soul.

All the little devils are proud of their hell

The world's a scary place these days. Grandpa, , you've seen worse things, haven't you? Please tell me the world has always been like this.

I've decided to cut out the part of the speech where I say anything nice about Democrats.

If I had my will, I would live in a ship on the sea and never come nearer to humanity than that!

I carry an umbrella when I am outdoors and always wear sunscreen, even when I am sitting in front of a computer screen!

Lukewarm people think about life on earth much more often than eternity in heaven.

It's weird how me and that insect are miles apart in terms of lifestyle, yet we both like a biscuit.

I gotta tell you, I do not envy whoever they try to put in David Letterman's chair. Folks those are some huge shoes to fill, and some really big pants.
