Not a Gus quote but a good one nonetheless.

“Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good. That honor, courage and virtue mean everything; that power and money . . . money and power mean nothing. That good always triumphs over evil. And I want you to remember this, that love — true love never dies. Remember that boy . . . remember that. Doesn’t matter if it is true or not, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.“

“I'm Hub McCann. I've fought in two World Wars and countless smaller ones on three continents.
I led thousands of men into battle with everything from horses and swords to artillery and tanks.
I've seen the headwaters of the Nile, and tribes of natives no white man had ever seen before.
I've won and lost a dozen fortunes, killed many men and loved only one woman with a passion a flea like you could never begin to understand.
That's who I am.”
 
So many good ones in Lonesome Dove. One of my favorites...

"If you want any one thing too badly, it’s likely to turn out to be a disappointment. The only healthy way to live, as I see it, is to learn to like all the little everyday things… like a sip of good whiskey in the evening, or a soft bed, or a glass of buttermilk, or say a…a feisty gentleman like myself."

RIP to a legend...
 
" Woodrow!....."....how many times in that movie..... The McMurtry novels were seminal for me growing up...."Smells like, Victory"

Dear Lord, please allow Mr. Duvall access to one of those beautiful gunships you have up there, with an upgraded B&O speaker system please. In your Son's name Jesus Christ we do pray, Amen. RIP Brother, see you soon.
 
One of the best actors ever..Second Hand Lions and Lonesome Dove were my favorites,but any movie he acted in was good.
 
Legend…. I like to think he was as cool in person as he was the characters he played on screen….
