"I tell you what, I don't like a hostile red skin any more than you do. And when they are hostile, I've fought 'em, hard as any man. But I never yet drew a bead on a squaw or papoose, and I despise the man who would."

-- Kit Carson

“So many self-help ideas are like meringue - you take a big bite, and there's nothing there.”
“And I found I didn't like myself at the end of the day because I didn't care for the guy I was playing. I learned a little bit about acting in that.”
“I inherited a sick economy and passed on a sound one. But one abiding regret for me is that, in between, I did not have the resources to put in place the educational and social changes about which I cared to much; I made only a beginning, and it was not enough.”
