- Josey Wales (to bounty hunter): Dyin' ain't much of a livin', boy.
- Lige (to Abe, his fellow bounty hunter): He's mean as a rattler, and twice as fast with them pistols.
- Abe (to Lige): You pull his teeth, he's harmless as a heel hound. Always wanted to face down one of these pistol fighters they raise all the fuss about. Only way to handle them.
- Josey Wales (after killing two bounty hunters): Hell with them fellas. Buzzards gotta eat, same as worms.
- Josey Wales: There ain't no forgettin'.
- Josey Wales: Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is.
- Lone Watie: We thought about it for a long time, "Endeavor to persevere." And when we had thought about it long enough, we declared war on the Union.
- Lone Watie: I didn't surrender neither. But they took my horse and made him surrender.
- Lone Watie: I don't have any food... except this piece of rock candy. But it's not for eatin'... it's for lookin' through.
- Josey Wales (while aiming his scoped rifle at a ferry rope): This is what we call a 'Missouri Boat Ride.'
- Young Confederate: Whupped 'em again, didn't we Josey?
- Josey Wales: I reckon so.
- Josey Wales: Are you gonna pull those pistols or whistle 'Dixie'?
- Josey Wales: Whenever I get to likin' someone, they ain't around long.
- Lone Watie: I notice when you get to dislikin' someone, they ain't around long, neither.
