More quotes by John Wayne
Oscar and I have something in common. Oscar first came to Hollywood scene in 1928. So did I. We're both a little weather-beaten, but we're still here and plan to be around for a whole lot longer.
John Wayne
A friend of mine told me to shoot first and ask questions later. I was going to ask him why, but I had to shoot him.
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
Republic. I like the sound of the word. It means people can live free, talk free, go or come, buy or sell, be drunk or sober, however they choose. Some words give you a feeling.
John Wayne
Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid.

The guy you see on the screen isn’t really me. I’m Duke Morrison, and I never was and never will be a film personality like JOHN WAYNE . I know him well. I’m one of his closest students. I have to be. I made a living out of him.

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
The West - the very words go straight to that place of the heart where Americans feel the spirit of pride in their western heritage - the triumph of personal courage over any obstacle, whether nature or man.
John Wayne
You don't have to fight to be brave. Millions of good, fine, decent folks show more bravery than heavyweight champs just by getting out of bed every morning, going out to do a good day's work and living the best life they know how against the law of odds.
John Wayne
Tomorrow hopes we have learned something from yesterday.
John Wayne
Get off your horse and drink your milk.
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
Westerns are closer to art than anything else in the motion picture business.
John Wayne
I never trust a man that doesn't drink.
John Wayne
Life's tough. It's even tougher when you are stupid.
John Wayne
My favorite four-letter words are 'hard work'.

Communism is quite obviously still a threat. Yes, they are human beings, with a right to their point of view . . .
