More quotes by 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
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
Any man who'd make an X-rated movie ought to have to take his daughter to see it.
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
Senator Joseph McCarthy was one of the greatest Americans who ever lived.
John Wayne
Sometimes I wonder whose side God's on.
John Wayne
I would think somebody like Jane Fonda and her idiot husband would be terribly ashamed and saddened that they were a part of causing us to stop helping the South Vietnamese. Now look what's happening. They're getting killed by the millions. Murdered by the millions. How the hell can she and her husband sleep at night?
John Wayne
TRUE Courage is when you are scared to death and STILL saddle up and ride in!
John Wayne
True grit is making a decision and standing by it, doing what must be done.
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
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
Tomorrow hopes we have learned something from yesterday.
John Wayne
Cowboys, just like the word says.
John Wayne
Westerns are closer to art than anything else in the motion picture business.
John Wayne
Life is hard it's harder if you're stupid.
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
Let's say I hope that I appeal to the more carefree times in a person's life rather than to his reasoning adulthood. I'd just like to be an image that reminds someone of joy rather than of the problems of the world.
John Wayne
Never apologize, mister, it’s a sign of weakness.
John Wayne
I never shot nobody I didnt have to.
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
