We all like the idea of freedom of speech, but nobody likes to be confronted by the truth. Sipho P Nkosi	added by SIPHO P NKOSI 7 years ago
A sense of belonging is a sine qua non of healthy psychological functioning everywhere. Such a sense, beginning in infancy and continuing throughout life, comes about by experiencing mutual empathy; by sensing oneself as part of a whole, which recognizes and accepts that one is a member. Maureen O'Hara	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
Being an Irishwoman means many things to me. An Irishwoman is strong and feisty. She has guts and stands up for what she believes in. She believes she is the best at whatever she does and proceeds through life with that knowledge. She can face any hazard that life throws her way and stay with it until she wins. She is loyal to her kinsmen and accepting of others. She's not above a sock in the jaw if you have it coming. Maureen O'Hara	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
Let's say I hope that I appeal to the more carefree times in a person's life rather than to his reasoning adulthood. I'd just like to be an image that reminds someone of joy rather than of the problems of the world. John Wayne	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
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	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
Screw ambiguity. Perversion and corruption masquerade as ambiguity. I don't trust ambiguity. John Wayne	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
Don't ever for a minute make the mistake of looking down your nose at westerns. They're art - the good ones, I mean. They deal in life and sudden death and primitive struggle, and with the basic emotions - love, hate, and anger - thrown in. We'll have westerns films as long as the cameras keep turning. The fascination that the Old West has will never die. And as long as people want to pay money to see me act, I'll keep on making westerns until the day I die. John Wayne	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
Very few of the so-called liberals are open-minded.... They shout you down and won't let you speak if you disagree with them. John Wayne	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
If a western is a good western, it gives you a sense of that world and some of the qualities those men had; their comradeship, loyalty, and physical courage. James Stewart	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
It is the spectators, the people who are outside, looking at the tragedy, from whose ranks the skeptics come; it is not those who are actually in the arena and who know suffering from the inside. Indeed, the fact is that it is the world's greatest sufferers who have produced the most shining examples of unconquerable faith. James Stewart	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
Fear is an insidious and deadly thing. It can warp judgment, freeze reflexes, breed mistakes. Worse, it's contagious. James Stewart	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness and a little looking out for the other fella too. James Stewart	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
The true Christian reaction to suffering and sorrow is not the attitude of self-pity, fatalism or resentment; it is the spirit which takes life's difficulties as a God given opportunity, and regards its troubles as a sacred trust, and wears the thorns as a crown. James Stewart	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
I hold no brief for Communists, but I believe in and will defend their right to act independently within the law. I question whether members of the committee are interested in defending our form of government or whether they are attempting to suppress political opinion at odds with their own. Gregory Peck	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
You have to dream, you have to have a vision, and you have to set a goal for yourself that might even scare you a little because sometimes that seems far beyond your reach. Then I think you have to develop a kind of resistance to rejection, and to the disappointments that are sure to come your way. Gregory Peck	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
Faith gives you an inner strength and a sense of balance and perspective in life. Gregory Peck	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
Entertainment is all right, but entertainment with an idea behind it is much more important. Gregory Peck	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
They say the bad guys are more interesting to play but there is more to it than that - playing the good guys is more challenging because it's harder to make them interesting. Gregory Peck	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
Simple femininity is the most important thing about a woman, and it is a quality a great many women are in jeopardy of losing. Women are being emancipated out of their femininity in this modern age. Yul Brynner	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
I wish for you the courage to be unpopular. Popularity is history's pocket change. Courage is history's true currency. Charlton Heston	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
A war put off is not a war avoided. Charlton Heston	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
I have played some of the great men in history and I believe in the great man who does heroic deeds, even in these egalitarian times. Charlton Heston	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
I think there are probably more closet conservatives in Hollywood than there are closet homosexuals. Charlton Heston	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
Gregory Peck was one of those few great actors of generosity, humor, toughness and spirit. From our fight scene in The Big Country (1958) to his willingness to stand up for what he believed personally, Gregory Peck faced life's challenges with great vigor and courage. Charlton Heston	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
