Wish I didn't know now
what I didn't know then
I’m going back to dignity and grace. I’m going back to Charleston, where I belong
Do not hit at all if it can be avoided; but never hit softly.
It's not the years, honey,
it's the mileage.
Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad company.
It's a simple game. You throw the ball, catch the ball, hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains
Read dozens of books
about heroes and crooks
And I learned much
from both of their styles
Traveling through hyperspace
isn't like dusting crops
You may be right
I may be crazy
Oh, but it just may be
a lunatic you're looking for
South Carolina is too small for a republic and too large for an insane asylum.
In order to be the man,
you have to beat the man.
A legend and
an out-of-work bum
look a lot alike
When you're good at something,
you'll tell everyone.
When you're great at something,
they'll tell you.
You come at the king,
you best not miss.
There is no great genius without some touch of madness.
We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all.
Yippee-Ki-Yay
This is a red-ball, Frank. First few hours, everyone’s around to take the credit. We have to make sure that they’re around to take the blame.
Real Gs move in silence like lasagna
Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty.
Never forget what you are, the rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor and it can never be used to hurt you.
Just because you shot Jesse James,
don’t make you Jesse James.”
