More quotes by Paul Newman
When you see the right thing to do, you'd better do it.
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
You discover a lot of things on your feet and if you don't have any rehearsal, then anything that happens on the screen is by accident.
Paul Newman
I would like it if people would think that beyond Newman, there's a spirit that takes action, a heart, and a talent that doesn't come from my blue eyes.
Paul Newman
It happens to everybody, horses, dogs, men. Nobody gets out of life alive.
Paul Newman
While progress should never come to a halt, there are many places it should never come to at all.
Paul Newman
Acting is like letting your pants down you're exposed.
Paul Newman
You got to have two things to win. You got to have brains and you got to have balls. Now you've got too much of one and not enough of the other.
Paul Newman
There are three rules for running a business fortunately, we don't know any of them.
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
It seems to me that the older I get, the more running around I do with less satisfaction, just spinning my wheels.
Paul Newman
If you don't have enemies, you don't have character.
Paul Newman
An actor has to evaluate his own abilities and be honest with himself.
Paul Newman
I am convinced that a person is entitled to as much privacy as he wants. It should be his privilege to keep certain areas of his life out of the newspapers.
Paul Newman
It's really important to be attentive to the people who have less - who are less fortunate than you are.
Paul Newman
The big difference between people is not between the rich and the poor, the good and the evil. The biggest of all differences between people is between those who have had pleasure in love and those who haven't.
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
The only way we can give our children the best education in the world and prepare them for the next century is by funding the programs that serve them.
Paul Newman
Husbands and wives should have separate interests, cultivate different sets of friends and not impose on the other... You can't spend a lifetime breathing down each other's necks... We are very, very different people and yet somehow we fed off those varied differences and instead of separating us, it has made the whole bond a lot stronger.
Paul Newman
Natural law. Sons are put on this earth to trouble their fathers.
Paul Newman
