Next week, Justified, my favorite television show, begins its final season. It is filled with great actors who portray great characters, but this season adds one of the all-time favorites, Sam Elliott.
He has been great in Westerns and other movie genres. In honor of his appearance on Justified, here are some words of wisdom that can be found from his movies.
From Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Move in slowly, check out everything.
Don’t ever hit your mother with a shovel.
From The Quick and the Dead
Why is it that the man who begs for mercy never gives it?
It ain’t never too late, unless you’re dead.
From Road House
Nobody ever wins a fight.
From Gettysburg
Follow the cigar smoke, find the fat man there.
From Tombstone
There’s no normal life. It’s just life.
From The Hi-Lo Country
The only time to yell is when you’re with somebody, or when you’re alone.
From Ghost Rider
You can’t live in fear.
Raise no more devils than you can lay down.
If you don’t make a choice, the choice makes you.
Wise words. Here are some more wise words. Watch Justified. It is awesome.
