Today is the birthday of Louis Dearborn L'Amour (March 22, 1908 – June 10, 1988), author."The trail is the thing, not the end of the trail. Travel too fast, and you miss all you are traveling for."
— Louis L'Amour
"Up to a point a person’s life is shaped by environment, heredity, and changes in the world about them. Then there comes a time when it lies within their grasp to shape the clay of their life into the sort of thing they wish it to be. Only the weak blame parents, their race, their times, lack of good fortune or the quirks of fate. Everyone has the power to say, This I am today. That I shall be tomorrow. The wish, however, must be implemented by deeds."
— Louis L'Amour
"I would not sit waiting for some vague tomorrow, nor for something to happen. One could wait a lifetime, and find nothing at the end of the waiting. I would begin here, I would make something happen."
— Louis L'Amour
"There will come a time when you believe everything is finished; that will be the beginning. "
— Louis L'Amour
"The more one learns, the more he understands his ignorance."
— Louis L'Amour
