    The Schofield Kid: It don’t seem real, how he ain’t gonna never breathe again, ever. How he’s dead, and the other one, too. All on account of pulling a trigger.
    Will Munny: It’s a hell of a thing, killing a man. You take away all he’s got and all he’s ever gonna have.
    David Webb Peoples, screenwriter. The Schofield Kid (Jaimz Woolvett)

    Our kids will develop a work ethic only if we require them to pay a portion of the cost of some of the things they want. They’ll learn to defer gratification the moment we stop routinely pulling out our wallets. And they’ll learn self-discipline only if we care enough to enforce reasonable limits.
    Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
