Son, your pa's a fool. He's stuck in the past and he wants you stuck there with him. But that ain't what you want, is it? You don't want to waste your life behind a plow. You want more than that. You hate that farm! It ain't nothing but a dried up, miserable piece of ground.

This here's the deed to my farm - my farm! It's got my sweat in it. My blood, too. It's where my children were born. Where my father's buried, and it's where I want to be buried, too. And that's worth more to me than $50 an acre. It's worth more to me than any price.

This is a farm, Daniel! Work's got to be done when it's supposed to be done.

Widowmaker's kind of particular of folks taking liberties with him. Matter of fact, last man who tried that… Widowmaker kicked him so hard he ended up halfway to the Moon. Name of Lanky Hank. He bounced up and down for a month of Sundays until finally I just had to shoot him down so he could have a proper burial.

You don't stop progress, cowboy. That's the difference between me and you. I can adjust to the times. You can't.

You fool! There'll be others just like me, and more after them and after them. Long as there's a profit to be made, we'll never stop. We're comin'!

You gave it your best shot? Well, if you gave it your best shot, you ain't got nothing to be sorry for.

You sure do know a lot for a half-growed piglet, so how’s this for plain English: stay away from the horse or he'll kill you.
