More quotes by John Wayne
I stick to simple themes. Love. Hate. No nuances. I stay away from psychoanalyst's couch scenes. Couches are good for one thing.
John Wayne
A man ought to do what he thinks is right
John Wayne
But don't get me wrong. As far as a man and a woman is concerned, I'm awfully happy there's a thing called sex. It's an extra something God gave us. I see no reason why it shouldn't be in pictures. Healthy, lusty sex is wonderful.
John Wayne
I want to play a real man in all my films, and I define manhood simply: men should be tough, fair, and courageous, never petty, never looking for a fight, but never backing down from one either.
John Wayne
If I depended on the critics' judgment and recognition, I'd never have gone into the motion-picture business.
John Wayne
Get off your horse and drink your milk.
John Wayne
When the road looks rough ahead, remember the 'Man upstairs' and the word HOPE. Hang onto both and 'tough it out'.

John Wayne
Sometimes I wonder whose side God's on.
John Wayne
If you can't be thankful for what you have, be thankful for what you have escaped.
John Wayne
When you come to see a picture of mine, I want you to know that I'm not going to do anything that will make you uncomfortable. I want you to know that you won't be disappointed in me.
John Wayne
I never shot nobody I didnt have to.
John Wayne
Male menopause is a lot more fun than female menopause. With female menopause you gain weight and get hot flashes. Male menopause ? you get to date young girls and drive motorcycles.
John Wayne
All battles are fought by scared men who'd rather be some place else.
John Wayne
Paul Newman would have been a much more important star if he hadn't always tried to be an anti-hero, to show the human feet of clay.
John Wayne
I never killed a man I didn't have to.
John Wayne
When you come slam bang up against trouble, it never looks half as bad if you face up to it.
John Wayne
Tomorrow hopes we have learned something from yesterday.
