I wrote as a very angry young man, believing he was going to be killed in a world war.
Spending two years on my uncle's ranch in Montana as a young man gave me the wisdom and the thrust to do westerns.
If a man believes in a stone, that stone will serve him well.
A dead man does not know where his grave is.
Fear a silent man. He has lips like a drum.
The earth is not thirsty for the blood of the warriors but for the sweat of man's labor.
A man grows most tired while standing still.
For each man produced by heaven, earth provides a grave.
Killing a man to save the world, does not save the world.
The Yangtse never runs backwards; man recaptures not his youth.
The less power a man has, the more he likes to use it.
However swift a man, he will not outstrip his shadow.
For whom does the blind man's wife paint herself?
Six hours for a man, seven for a woman, and eight for a fool.
If the bathroom and a brandy cannot help a man, then death is imminent.
A man who is afraid of suffering suffers from fear itself.
Between man and woman there is little difference, but vive la difference.
The cart ruins the road, the woman the man, the water the wine.
When a man's friend marries, all is over between them.
A drowning man takes hold of his own hair.
Better be a cursed man than he who curses.
