Product Description
Perhaps best known for his classic movie lines, such as Fill your hands, you sons-a-bitches from True Grit, the late actor John Wayne often displayed a spontaneous and biting wit away from the screen as well. This gem of inspiration contains Wayne anecdotes on God and country, the old West, friends and family, acting, and quotes from others about John Wayne the actor, and John Wayne the man.

The Greatest American John Wayne February 2, 2009
Glenn J. Gathere (CDA, Id)
I am so happy I purchased this book. I am blown away with the amount of quotes John Wayne had. Every American should read this book, and follow the words for the Duke.

I got this book as a stocking stuffer for my Dad (loves John Wayne movies) this Christmas and he has really enjoyed it. I wasn't sure how it would go over because he's not a big reader but, since it's mostly quotes, it is easy for him to pick up and put down whenever he feels like it. Browsing through this book myself has given me a greater appreciation of John Wayne and the kind of man that he was. It is amazing how relevent some of his statements still are, especially today!

What else can be said about John Wayne? The quotes in this book are wonderful. They really reflect the genuine hero that Wayne was. If you listen really hard while you enjoy these bits of his wisdom, you can almost hear the magical voice of The Duke. If you are a fan, you must have this book!

With all the John Wayne had to say in his movies and real life, this book was somewhat of a disapointment. It has some, but not all inclusvie, and not even some of his best one-liners.

Great book full of common sense and insight into the man. Proof that when you look up American in the dictionary, it says 'see John Wayne'. Why didn't we ever make this man President?
