More quotes by John Wayne
Most men hate to shop. That's why the men's department is usually on the first floor of a department store, two inches from the door.
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
I drink for comradeship, and when I drink for comradeship, I don't bother to keep count.
John Wayne
Never apologize, mister, it’s a sign of weakness.
John Wayne
Cowboys, just like the word says.
John Wayne
When you come to see a picture of mine, I want you to know that I'm not going to do anything that will make you uncomfortable. I want you to know that you won't be disappointed in me.
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 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
Life is hard it's harder if you're stupid.
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
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
Courage is being scared to death... and saddling up anyway.
John Wayne
All battles are fought by scared men who'd rather be some place else.
John Wayne
We built your fort. We will not have it used against us.
John Wayne
I never killed a man I didn't have to.
John Wayne
Life is tough, but if you are stupid, it's a lot tougher.
John Wayne
Sure I wave the American flag. Do you know a better flag to wave?
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
A man is no better than he has to be.
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
