Paul Newman would have been a much more important star if he hadn't always tried to be an anti-hero, to show the human feet of clay.
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.

America is the land of freedom and that’s the way I enjoy living.
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
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
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
When you come slam bang up against trouble, it never looks half as bad if you face up to it.
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
Tomorrow hopes we have learned something from yesterday.
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
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
Senator Joseph McCarthy was one of the greatest Americans who ever lived.
