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.
Gotta love the Duke August 30, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
The Quotable john Wayne: The Grit and Wisdom of an American Icon March 8, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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?
A Fresh new look at John Wayne March 5, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've been a fan of "Duke" for over 30 years and I've read a lot about him, and I can say that "The Quotable John Wayne - The Grit And Wisdom Of An American Icon" by Carol Lea Mueller is one of the finest. Not simply another boring biography like many other books, this book succinctly gets to the 'True Grit'...the spirit behind the legend of the man. Chock full of interesting anecdotes,memorable quotes and tasty tidbits regarding Duke's attitudes about God, America & family values, it's all here. Good job Ms. Mueller!
Father-in-law thrilled with it January 7, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The John Wayne fanatic in our family (who, by the way, has nearly everything John Wayne) was excited to receive this as a gift.
