These are some well known quotes by John Wayne, himself. If you have a quote of his that isn't on this list, please add it.
"Life is tough. It's tougher if you're stupid."
"I never trust a man that doesn't drink."
"Oscar and I have something in common. Oscar first came to the Hollywood scene in 1928. So did I. We're both a little weatherbeaten, but we're still here and plan to be around for a whole lot longer."
"The sky is blue, the grass is green. Get off your ass and join the Marines."
"It's not phony. It's real hair. Of course, it's not mine, but it's real."
"Courage is being scared to death - and saddling up anyway."
"I have found a certain type calls himself a liberal . . . Now I always thought I was a liberal. I came up terribly surprised one time when I found out that I was a right-wing conservative extremist, when I listened to everybody's point of view that I ever met, and then decided how I should feel. But this so-called new liberal group, Jesus, they never listen to your point of view."
"We must always look to the future. Tomorrow - the time that gives a man just one more chance - is one of the many things that I feel are wonderful in life. So's a good horse under you. Or the only campfire for miles around. Or a quiet night and a nice soft hunk of ground to sleep on. A mother meeting her first-born. The sound of a kid calling you dad for the first time. There's a lot of things great about life. But I think tomorrow is the most important thing. Comes in to us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday."
"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."
"You can't whine and bellyache because somebody else got a good break and you didn't."
"God, how I hate solemn funerals. When I die, take me into a room and burn me. Then my family and a few good friends should get together, have a few good belts, and talk about the crazy old time we all had together."
"I have tried to live my life so that my family would love me and my friends respect me. The others can do whatever the hell they please."
"Talk low, talk slow and don't talk too much."
