JOHN WAYNE

“Be nice to people on the way up, because you may meet them on the way down.”

“A lot of people give up just before they’re about to make it. You know you never know when that next obstacle is going to be the last one.”

“It’s never too late – never too late to start over, never too late to be happy.”

“Never worry about bad press: All that matters is if they spell your name right.”

I believe you make your day. You make your life. So much of it is all perception, and this is the form that I built for myself. I have to accept it and work within those compounds, and it’s up to me.” – Brad Pitt

“Sometimes you can have the smallest role in the smallest production and still have a big impact.” 

“Whatever art form you’re working in, it’s crucial to see it clearly, to feel it clearly, and not to worry about the results, or how someone else will see it.”

“Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that’s real power.”

“As a young man, I prayed for success. Now I just pray to be worthy of it.”

“There are no regrets in life. Just lessons.”

“The minute that you’re not learning I believe you’re dead.”

“Life is very interesting… in the end, some of your greatest pains, become your greatest strengths.”

“He who has the gold makes the rules.”

“Overcome the notion that you must be regular. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary.”
