I am an American; free born and free bred, where I acknowledge no man as my superior, except for his own worth, or as my inferior, except for his own demerit.

I have been a good deal of a pioneer in my life, and I have found that the only way to get on is to be a little bit ahead of the times.

When you are in a fight, fight as if you are the only one who can win.

I utterly enjoy myself. I like to be in the thick of the fight.

I have always been fond of the West and its people, and I have always felt that the true American spirit was to be found there.

I have always been a believer in the doctrine that the best way to make a man behave is to treat him as if he were a gentleman.

I am not a man of peace; I am a man of war.

I have never been afraid of a man, but I have been afraid of a woman.

I believe in a square deal for every man, big or small, rich or poor.
