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

Contrary to what people think, I’m no politician, and when I have something to say I say it through my movies.

I never trust a man that doesn’t drink.
JOHN WAYNE

Drink Men never Trust
In my acting, I have to identify with something in the character. The big tough boy on the side of right – that’s me. Simple themes. Same me from the nuances. All I do is sell sincerity and I’ve been selling the hell out of that ever since I started.
JOHN WAYNE

Boys Character Simple
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

Day Fighting Good Morning
One look that works is better than twenty lines of dialogue.
JOHN WAYNE

Lines Looks Twenties
There’s right and there’s wrong. You got to do one or the other. You do the one and you’re living. You do the other and you may be walking around, but you’re dead as a beaver hat.
JOHN WAYNE

Decision Hats May
Tomorrow hopes we have learned something from yesterday.

Regret Tomorrow Yesterday
We brought nothing into this world and it’s certain we can carry nothing out.

If you can’t be thankful for what you have, be thankful for what you have escaped.
JOHN WAYNE

Being Thankful Thankfulness
Life is getting up one more time than you’ve been knocked down.

Get off your butt and join the Marines!

I figured I needed a gimmick, so I dreamed up this drawl, the squint and a way of moving meant to suggest that I wasn’t looking for trouble but would just as soon throw a bottle at your head as not. I practiced in front of a mirror.
JOHN WAYNE

Bottles Mirrors Moving
I don’t want ever to appear in a film that would embarrass a viewer. A man can take his wife, mother, and his daughter to one of my movies and never be ashamed or embarrassed for going.
JOHN WAYNE

Daughter Embraces Man Mother
When you come slam bang up against trouble, it never looks half as bad if you face up to it.
JOHN WAYNE

Bangs Half Looks
You have to be a man before you can be a gentleman.
JOHN WAYNE

Gentleman Man Men
I want to play a real man in all my films, and I define manhood simply: men should be tough, fair, and courageous, never petty, never looking for a fight, but never backing down from one either.
JOHN WAYNE
