Additional quotes by Louis L'Amour

He had seen Hyle shoot, and he had seen only one man he thought was as good ... just one. He'd seen Con Vallian down in the Bald Knob country that time, and Con was quick. He was almighty quick at a time when a man was either quick or he was dead.

It is not enough to do, one must also become.

Avoid conflict and trouble, for enough of it fetches to a man without his asking.
