I have never seen a John Wayne movie. Really. I owned one once….until we lost all of our DVDs this summer!?!? No one has ever taken the opportunity to tell me how important it is that I spend some time with the American icon…perhaps when I am old and need to spend time sitting in a large leather chair…in between re-readings of the most-treasured tomes. Either way, I like this Wayne quotation and try to use it to settle people down sometimes. It doesn’t really work, but I like saying it.
“If you get nervous, count your toes. Let me do the masterminding around here.”
You really should become acquainted with Wayne… if anything is worth watching, he is! My favorite John Wayne quote is, Don’t apologize. It’s a sign of weakness!
