My brother was a great favorite with everybody, and his death cast a gloom upon the whole neighborhood.

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

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

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.

Every morning, introduce one positive thought into your mind. Be persistent with it until it becomes your habit. It will change your life.

Fantasy and drama appeal to us. They are socially acceptable and make you feel good about yourself. Moreover, you get rewarded for being cleverly ignorant.

Never judge the othersfor each one wears a coverfor their version of the original.(talking about individuals in the stream of consciousness that gives rise to each one of us.)

Attend to your Configuration.

Bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.

You can't tell people how to feel when they read your work. You can only hope to connect.

The man who loves his wife above all else on earth gains the freedom and power to pursue other noble, but lesser, loves.

I do my thinking while I walk. It just loosens up the mind in the way that you don't get when you are sitting at a desk.

If you look at all the serious scientists in the world, there is no big disagreement on the basics of this...it would be absolute lunacy to act as if climate change is not occurring.

. . . it is impossible you should take true root but by the fair weather that you make yourself it is needful that you frame the season of your own harvest.
