More quotes by Charlton Heston
Political correctness is just tyranny with manners. I wish for you the courage to be unpopular. Popularity is history's pocket change. Courage is history's true currency.
Charlton Heston
Well, we have certainly produced great art before we did this. In my view, there are any number of areas of government which tax money should not be spent.
Charlton Heston
You simply disobey. Peaceably, yes. Respectfully, of course. Nonviolently, absolutely. But when told how to think or what to say or how to behave, we don't. We disobey the social protocol that stifles and stigmatizes personal freedom.
Charlton Heston
I've been a public person for most of my life. It has advantages and disadvantages. I can't take my kids to Disneyland. On the other hand, I can get a table at a restaurant or tickets to a play.
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.

A policemans job is only easy in a police state.
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
Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a decent person is no threat to anybody — except bad people.
Charlton Heston
In what I think is the most serious problem the world faces, which is the population explosion, we will come I think to a time when measures that are not even dreamt of now will become necessary.
Charlton Heston
It's the camel's nose in the tent. Look at Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, Idi Amin - every one of these monsters, on seizing power, their first act was to confiscate all firearms in private hands.
Charlton Heston
You can spend a lifetime, and, if you're honest with yourself, never once was your work perfect.
Charlton Heston
Society mends its wounds. And that's invariably true in all the tragedies, in the comedies as well. And certainly in the histories.
Charlton Heston
The prime motivation in making almost any film is success, because film is the art form of the 20th century.
Charlton Heston
A clear enunciation of these rights needs to be enshrined in the constitution to guarantee that this basic right of law-abiding gun owners and sportsmen shall not be infringed upon by anti-gun public officials.
Charlton Heston
I have lived my whole life on the stage and screen before you. I found purpose and meaning in your response.
Charlton Heston
I think there are probably more closet conservatives in Hollywood than there are closet homosexuals.
Charlton Heston
A war put off is not a war avoided.
Charlton Heston
You could say that the paparazzi and the tabloids are sort of the 'assault weapons' of the First Amendment. They're ugly, a lot of people don't like them, but they're protected by the First Amendment - just as 'assault weapons' are protected by the Second Amendment.
Charlton Heston
[President Clinton] boasts about 186,000 people denied firearms under the Brady Law rules. The Brady Law has been in force for three years. In that time, they have prosecuted seven people and put three of them in prison. You know, the President has entertained more felons than that at fundraising coffees in the White House, for Pete's sake.
Charlton Heston
