funny country military
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.
daughter mother men
I read someplace that I used to make B-pictures. Hell, they were a lot farther down the alphabet than that . . . but not as far down as R and X. I think any man who makes an X-rated picture ought to be made to take his own daughter to see it.
courage veterans-day military
Courage is being scared to death... and saddling up anyway.
running country government
Wayne: I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them ..... the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves. .... I'm quite sure that the concept of a Government-run reservation .... seems to be what the socialists are working for now -- to have everyone cared for from cradle to grave ..... But you can't whine and bellyache 'cause somebody else got a break and you didn't, like those Indians are. We'll all be on a reservation soon if the socialists keep subsidizing groups like them with our tax money.

I never trust a man that doesn't drink.

I am a demonstrative man, a baby picker-upper, a hugger and a kisser--that's my nature.
biscuits daylight slap
Slap some bacon on a biscuit and let's go! We're burnin' daylight!
moving mirrors way
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.
children wife three
I've had three wives, six children and six grandchildren and I still don't understand women
weather hollywood littles
Oscar and I have something in common. Oscar first came to Hollywood scene in 1928. So did I. We're both a little weather-beaten, but we're still here and plan to be around for a whole lot longer.

My favorite four-letter words are 'hard work'.

When you stop fighting, that's death.
