More quotes by 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?

Cowboys, just like the word says.

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
When you come slam bang up against trouble, it never looks half as bad if you face up to it.
John Wayne

John Wayne
We brought nothing into this world and it's certain we can carry nothing out.
John Wayne
Life is tough, but if you are stupid, it's a lot tougher.

America is the land of freedom and that’s the way I enjoy living.
John Wayne
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
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
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
courage is being scared to death - and saddling up anyway A goal, A love and A dream give you total control over your body and your life
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
