Quotes
-
Jacob Dutton : [round the camp fire] Give a man enough time, he'll figure his way out of anything. I figure a few'll make it. I hope a few do.
Jack Dutton : Why?
Jacob Dutton : Someday, you're gonna run this place, and for your son to someday run it too, you got to understand what this ranch's greatest enemy is. It's not wolves, or drought, or blizzards, or Texas Fever. It's other men. Man will choose to take what you've built rather than try and build it for himself.
Jacob Dutton : Every civilization in this world is built on top of the one they conquered. You go to Rome or Jerusalem or Paris, France, and it's cities stacked on top of towns, stacked on top of villages, on top of one man's house .. built on top of one man's cave. We wish it wasn't so, but it is. Your enemies have got to be so terrified, that their fear is greater than their greed.
Jacob Dutton : I gave those men a chance 'cause I wanted them to tell the world what happened when they crossed me. Let's get some sleep, boys. There ain't no tellin' what tomorrow's gonna throw at us.
