More quotes by Charlton Heston
A policemans job is only easy in a police state.
Charlton Heston
Moses is the keystone to every man's ethical code. He was the first man of record in history to conceive of the law as separate from the will of a ruler, to choose whether a man should live by grace of law, or law by grace of man. In a literal sense Moses lives at every council table today.

As I have stood in the crosshairs of those who target Second Amendment freedoms, I've realized that firearms are not the only issue. No, it's much, much bigger than that.

Charlton Heston
So that this nation may long endure, I urge you to follow in the hallowed footsteps of the great disobedience of history that freed exiles, founded religions, defeated tyrants, and yes, in the hands of an aroused rabble in arms and a few great men
Charlton Heston
Skijoring is just something that people want to see, it's like Ben Hur on snow, the modern way. I love the speed, the adrenalin rush is something special. It's just unique.
Charlton Heston
I've come to feel very strongly, not as a joke, that if you appoint a committee of more than four people, their efficiency starts to deteriorate.
Charlton Heston
An epic is the easiest kind of picture to make badly.
Charlton Heston
A war put off is not a war avoided.
Charlton Heston
I'm not a vegetarian but I want you to know that my four dogs are safe.
Charlton Heston
You can have my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.
Charlton Heston
You can spend a lifetime, and, if you're honest with yourself, never once was your work perfect.
Charlton Heston
We will preach the truth to a new generation: The doorway to all freedoms is framed with muskets. It's time the apologists step aside and let freedom's followers lead the way.
Charlton Heston
I think there are probably more closet conservatives in Hollywood than there are closet homosexuals.
Charlton Heston
My dad always said he wanted to be remembered for his body of work, and he's made more than 75 pictures, some good, some bad, and they will be his legacy to the world of acting.
