Wild Bill Hickok

“My advice to any young man is, rather than acquire a reputation as a dangerous man, I would say be a peaceable man.”

“Keep your back to the wall.”

“I never killed a man that didn't need killing.”

“Agnes, if it is the last thing I do on this earth, I will come back to you.”

“When you get into a row, be sure and not shoot too quick. Take time. I've known many a feller slip up for shootin' in a hurry.”

“Pard, you have an advantage over me. You have a double-barreled shotgun and I have only a pistol.”

“Never did a man more richly deserve it.”

“The old woman will be wanting some of the gold, I guess.”
