Ned Buntline Quotes:

  • Ned Buntline: Injuns gear their lives to dreams. And what an injun dreams, no matter how farfetched, will wait until he dies to come true. The white men - they're different.

  • Ned Buntline: Bill, any youngster like yourself who figures to set the world on fire best not forget where he got the matches.
