“Riches are a claim to distinction for those who have no other right to it. Ancestry is most important to those who have done nothing themselves, and often the ancestor from whom they claim descent is one they would not allow in the house if they met him today.”

“The more ill-prepared people are to face trouble, the more likely they are to revert to savagery against each other.”
― Louis L'Amour, Bendigo Shafter
