Quotes:

Reverend Joshua Sloan: Since I cannot rouse heaven I intend to raise hell.

Reverend Joshua Sloan: Did it ever occur to you, Cable, how wise and bountiful God was to put breasts on a woman? Just the right number in just the right place. Did you ever notice that, Cable?::Cable Hogue: Well, where in the hell would he put 'em? On their backside?::Reverend Joshua Sloan: It's a thought.

Jensen: Driver, it's getting dark!::Ben Fairchild: Generally does about this time. Damnedest thing I ever saw.

Powell: What's your name?::Cable Hogue: Cable Hogue.::Powell: C-A-B... L-E or E-L? How do you spell Cable?::Cable Hogue: Well, if you're bogging down on Cable, wait till you get to Hogue.

Cable Hogue: Listen. I was robbed and left to die without a drop. Well, do I look dead? No, sir! Climbed up on my hind feet and walked straight to water. W-A-T-L-E. That sorta grabs you by the sort hairs, don't it?

Cable Hogue: Those silly jackasses over there can laugh at me all they want, but they're in a spot of trouble. Now wouldn't you think a stage line could see that? In all the long, wrought out, back-breakin', kidney-shakin', bladder-bustin' miles from here to Lizard, there's not one spot of wet relief for man or beast! Now, if I could bring comfort to the passengers, rest to the teams, food and drink to the drivers, and water to all, well what would be wrong with that? Now listen, there's a preacher out at my diggings. He'll tell you. And you wouldn't doubt a man of the gospel, would you?::Cushing: Of course! That's the first man I'd doubt.

Cable Hogue: I always thought you bankers stole for the rich. I didn't know you'd talk to shirttail trash like me.::Cushing: We don't steal.::Cable Hogue: Well, lend, borrow, invest and mortgage and repossess. What the hell else do you call it?

Hildy: You've been awful nice to me, Hogue. Never bothered you none what I am?::Cable Hogue: Hell no, it never bothered me. I enjoyed it. Now, what the hell are you? Human being. Try the best you can. We all got our own ways of living.::Hildy: And loving?::Cable Hogue: Gets mighty lonesome without it.

Cable Hogue: I'll live to spit on your grave!

Cable Hogue: If sugar were two cents a barrel, I couldn't afford a pinch of salt and egg to put on it.
