A few months ago I tried to start a hashtag trend and failed miserably. But I thought the world needed the wisdom of the classic movies Young Guns and Young Guns II. So as we prepare to enter the new year, let's bask in the wisdom of the regulators.
Young Guns Wisdom
On Capitalism: “You have a beef
outfit and a store. I have a beef outfit and a store. You’re
going to try to make money. I’m going to try to make money. It’s
simple and it’s fair.”
On Mercy: “I’m glad I never killed
you, Steve. You’re allright.”
On Grammar: “No, no. It’s ‘You
and I.’”
On Moral Obligation: “It ain’t easy
havin’ pals.”
On Friendship: “You got yourself 3 or
4 good pals, and you got yourself a tribe. There ain’t nothin’
stronger than that.”
On Humilty: “Billy, I know we’re
good, but this is getting ridiculous.”

On the News Media: “Papers can't do
anything right.”
On the Cycle of Violence: “Alex,
if you stay they're gonna kill you. And then I'm gonna have to to go
around and kill all the guys who killed you. That's a lot of
killing.”
On
Mental Illness: “He ain't all there, is he?”
On
Letting Go of the Past: “The past is like an old yellow-back novel.
When it done you throw it out and start a new one.”
On
Civic Virtue: “I have made a long, steamship journey from London,
Mr. Murphy, so I shall be damned if I am persuaded by something as
ugly as political corruption. So, I'd like for you to take your
threats and your sheriff and get off my property.”
On
the Frivolity of Youth: “Go On, William. Boys will be boys.”
William
H. Bonney:
West, huh? Well west is that way...

[points
gun in opposite direction]

game, Doc.”

On Love: “Necessary is something
you can't live without. I can't live without you.”

nod)
