Quotes edit see section history

• “No man cuts himself free of old ties without regret; even scenes of hardship and sadness possess the warmth of familiarity, and within each of us is a love for the known.”

  Lando Sackett

• “He had talked large of running for office, but I felt a man who would be dishonest with a boy was no man to trust with government. It always seemed to me that a man who would betray the trust of his fellow citizens is the lowest of all <...>”

  Lando Sackett

• “Best way is just to draw and fire. Don't aim... point your gun like you'd point your finger. You need practice to be good and I worked on it eight or nine months before I had to use it. The less shooting you've done before, the better. Then you have to break the habit of aiming. It stands to reason. Just like you point your finger. How many times have you heard of some female woman grabbing up a pistol--something she maybe never had in her hands before--and plumb mad, she starts shooting and blasts some man into doll rags. Nobody ever taught her to shoot--she just pointed at what she was mad at and started blazing away.”

  Cullen Baker

• “Mr. Sackett, face a man with a gun or a sword, but beware of bookkeepers. They will destroy you, Sackett. They will destroy you.”

  Jonas Locklear

• Popular Highlights from Kindle Customers

• Seems if the Lord really wants a man it doesn’t need all that fuss to get him worked up to it. If a man isn’t ready for the Lord, then the Lord isn’t ready for him, and it’s a straight-forward proposition between man and God without any wringing of the hands or hell-fire shouting.

• It is wrong to believe that such men suffer in the conscience for what they do…it is only regret at being caught that troubles them. And they never admit it was any fault of their own…it was always chance, bad luck.…The criminal does not regret his crime, he only regrets failure.

• “Fact was, he talked so much about sin that I got right interested, and figured to look into it. A man ought to know enough to make a choice; and pa, he always advised me to look to both sides of a proposition.

• Odd thing, I’d never thought of my pa as a person. I expect a child rarely does think of his parents that way. They are a father and a mother, but a body rarely thinks of them as having hopes, dreams, ambitions and desires and loves.
