Be careful going in search of adventure -- it's ridiculously easy to find.

There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't.

What you've done becomes the judge of what you're going to do - especially in other people's minds. When you're traveling, you are what you are right there and then. People don't have your past to hold against you. No yesterdays on the road.

I don't have to be careful, I've got a gun.

Having made the trip from St. Louis to the Pacific Ocean myself going up up up against twenty-five hundred miles of the Missouri River, I can testify that it's one of the most arduous trips that anyone can make on this continent and yet I had a power boat to do it in.
