More quotes by John Wayne
Westerns are closer to art than anything else in the motion picture business.
John Wayne
Sure I wave the American flag. Do you know a better flag to wave? Sure I love my country with all her faults. I'm not ashamed of that, never have been, never will be.
John Wayne
TRUE Courage is when you are scared to death and STILL saddle up and ride in!
John Wayne
Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.
John Wayne
The fire is not discriminating. It burns anything in its path for whatever reason.
John Wayne
We're burnin' daylight!
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
I never killed a man I didn't have to.
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
I didn't vote for him, but he's my President, and I hope he does a good job.
John Wayne
Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid.
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
If I depended on the critics' judgment and recognition, I'd never have gone into the motion-picture business.
John Wayne
Life is tough, but if you are stupid, it's a lot tougher.
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
Cowboys, just like the word says.
