More quotes by John Wayne
I play John Wayne in every part regardless of the character, and I've been doing okay, haven't I?
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?
John Wayne
Sure I wave the American flag. Do you know a better flag to wave?
John Wayne
Courage is being afraid and going on the journey anyhow.
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
I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.
John Wayne
A man is no better than he has to be.
John Wayne
I stick to simple themes. Love. Hate. No nuances. I stay away from psychoanalyst's couch scenes. Couches are good for one thing.
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
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.
John Wayne
Life's hard. It's even harder when you're stupid.
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
Life is tough, but if you are stupid, it's a lot tougher.
John Wayne
I drink for comradeship, and when I drink for comradeship, I don't bother to keep count.
John Wayne
Senator Joseph McCarthy was one of the greatest Americans who ever lived.
John Wayne
We brought nothing into this world and it's certain we can carry nothing out.
John Wayne
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
Sure I wave the American flag. Do you know a better flag to wave? Sure I love my country with all her faults. I'm not ashamed of that, never have been, never will be.
John Wayne
Never apologize, mister, it’s a sign of weakness.
John Wayne
Communism is quite obviously still a threat. Yes, they are human beings, with a right to their point of view . . .
