“You can make laws against weapons but they will be observed only by those who don't intend to use them anyway. The lawless can always smuggle or steal or even make a gun. By refusing to wear a gun you allow the criminal to operate with impunity.”
― Louis L'Amour, North to the Rails

“A ship does not sail with yesterday's wind.”
― Louis L'Amour, The Walking Drum

“To be a man was to be responsible. It was as simple as that. To be a man was to build something, to try to make the world about him a bit easier to live in for himself and those who followed.

― Louis L'Amour, Conagher
