More quotes by 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

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
Courage is being afraid and going on the journey anyhow.
John Wayne
Any man who'd make an X-rated movie ought to have to take his daughter to see it.
John Wayne
I never shot nobody I didnt have to.
John Wayne
True grit is making a decision and standing by it, doing what must be done.
John Wayne
Life's hard. It's even harder when you're stupid.
John Wayne
This kind of war, you've gotta believe in what you're fighting for.
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
Watergate is a sad and tragic incident in our history. They were wrong, dead wrong, those men at Watergate. Men abused power, but the system still works. Men abused money, but the system still works. Men lied and perjured themselves, but the system still .
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
Sometimes I wonder whose side God's on.
