Quotes from the Duke:..... John: I've had three wives, six children and six grandchildren and I still don't understand women.... John: Never say sorry - it's a sign of weakness.... John: Women have the right to work wherever they want, as long as they have the dinner ready when you get home.... John: Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway.... John: I never trust a man that doesn't drink.... John: Tomorrow hopes we have learned something from yesterday.... John: I'm an American actor. I work with my clothes on. I have to. Riding a horse can be pretty tough on your legs and else wheres.... John: Talk low, talk slow, and don't say too much.... John: Life is hard; it's harder if you're stupid.
