More quotes by John Wayne
True Grit is making a decision and standing by it, doing what must be done. No moral man can have peace of mind if he leaves undone what he knows he should have done.
John Wayne
America is the land of freedom and that’s the way I enjoy living.
John Wayne
You're going to think I'm being corny, but this is how I really feel: I hope my family and my friends will be able to say that I was an honest, kind and fairly decent man.
John Wayne
A man is no better than he has to be.
John Wayne
It's kind of a sad thing when a normal love of country makes you a super patriot. I do think we have a pretty wonderful country, and I thank God that He chose me to live here.
John Wayne
The hyphenated American is ridiculous. But that's what we have to put up with. I think that any person that's in the United States is better off here than they would be where they came from.
John Wayne
I never trust a man that doesn't drink.
John Wayne
I eat as much as I ever did, I drink more than I should, and my sex life is none of your goddamned business.
John Wayne
Life is hard it's harder if you're stupid.
John Wayne
We're burnin' daylight!
John Wayne

John Wayne
I never killed a man I didn't have to.
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
Cause even grown men need understanding.
John Wayne
Life's tough. It's even tougher when you are stupid.
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
The fire is not discriminating. It burns anything in its path for whatever reason.
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
I've always followed my father's advice: he told me, first to always keep my word and, second, to never insult anybody unintentionally. If I insult you, you can be goddamn sure I intend to. And, third, he told me not to go around looking for trouble.
John Wayne
Westerns are closer to art than anything else in the motion picture business.
