"Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything. In a gun fight... You need to take your time in a hurry."

Prior the start of the gunfight, Earp said to his rivals:
"I think you came here to make a fight with me, and if you did, you can have one here right now."
And:
"The fight has now commenced, go to fighting or get away!"

Wyatt Earp with his mother Virginia Ann Cooksey Earp c. 1856

Earp described his friend John Henry "Doc" Holliday, who helped him during the gunfight as:
"The most skilful gambler and the nerviest, speediest, deadliest man with a gun that I ever knew."

"I did not intend to fight unless it became necessary in self defense, and in the performance of official duty. When Billy Clanton and Frank McLowry drew their pistols I knew it was a fight for life, and I drew and fired in defense of my own life and the lives of my brothers and Doc Holliday."
