More quotes by Paul Newman
Admit it. I'm the best you ever seen, Fats. I'm the best there is. And even if you beat me, I'm still the best.
Paul Newman
A lot of people have dreams and never do anything about them. When you have ideas and dreams, you do something about it.
Paul Newman
A rebel is a nonconformist who is constantly saying no, and I'm not that. I'm a conformist and I believe in progress, and you can't make much progress by saying no all the time. A rebel is destructive. I know I have something constructive to offer.
Paul Newman
We are such spendthrifts with our lives, the trick of living is to slip on and off the planet with the least fuss you can muster. I’m not running for sainthood. I just happen to think that in life we need to be a little like the farmer, who puts back into the soil what he takes out.
Paul Newman
On adultery: Why fool around with hamburger when you have steak at home?

Paul Newman
I'd like to be remembered as a guy who tried - who tried to be part of his times, tried to help people communicate with one another, tried to find some decency in his own life, tried to extend himself as a human being. Someone who isn't complacent, who doesn't cop out.
Paul Newman
You say somebody’s guilty, everybody believes you. You say they’re innocent, nobody cares.
Paul Newman
The need is great and so are the opportunities to make a difference.
Paul Newman
Acting is like letting your pants down you're exposed.
Paul Newman
It's really important to be attentive to the people who have less - who are less fortunate than you are.
Paul Newman
No sense in being a grifter if it's the same as being a citizen.
Paul Newman
I respect generosity in people, and I respect it in companies too, I don't look at it as philanthropy I see it as an investment in the community.
Paul Newman
Newman's second law: Just when things look darkest, they go black.
Paul Newman
Natural law. Sons are put on this earth to trouble their fathers.
Paul Newman
I have taken roads that I wished I had not traveled on. And I'm traveling on some pretty exciting ones, too.
Paul Newman
I find it hard to believe that anyone could be so curious about me that they would want to read that I wear underwear shorts with green polka dots on them.
Paul Newman
Newman's first law: It is useless to put on your brakes when you're upside down.
Paul Newman
