Nope, the movie was actually "MacArthur" from 1977. "I Walk the Line" was from 1970.

IMO, this actor's best work was from 1962 where he played a defense lawyer in the 1930's. (That movie was an adaptation of a truly great novel.)

So it is Gregory Peck, right?

Since I hardly knew anything about film quotes from actors, I must decline any success here. You thoroughly stymied me. You now have another opportunity to submit a new quote.

It's your returned turn.

You are correct. I had no problem with ya supplying the next quote.

But to keep it going, hopefully this isn't too obscure *cringe* ... and with a built in hint that it sorta has a loose relation (and perhaps too loose of one) to one of the movie titles in my clues above ...

"You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way."

Aye, there is the rub (or cringe), Frank Sinatra.

Carl von Clausewitz

I will confess that the one I'm posting in response is one I searched for, but I felt it was appropriate today.....
“Our enemies have made the mistake that America’s enemies always make. They saw liberty and thought they saw weakness. And now, they see defeat.”

Is this a quote of President Obama?

Ah yes, since it wasn't Obama it must've been George Washington, .

So it was indeed it was said by the process of elimination: George Bush. Thanks for your patience.

This one is an oldie from the colonial days in America and Britain. I'm pretty sure it was said by a moralist in the Abolitionist Movement. It was William Wilberforce who was key to getting the British Parliament to outlaw the slave trade on the High Seas, right?

Seriously.

Are you talkin' 'bout that "Great Awakening" Methodist minister dude from the early 18th Century? Not William Penn...
