John Wayne
True grit is making a decision and standing by it, doing what must be done.
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
Hell, the truth is that I was named after a dog!
John Wayne
This kind of war, you've gotta believe in what you're fighting for.
John Wayne
If I depended on the critics' judgment and recognition, I'd never have gone into the motion-picture business.
John Wayne
A man ought to do what he thinks is right
John Wayne
That's why men need instant replays in sports. They've already forgotten what happened.
