What was John Wayne quote in Big Jake that started something like between your love of pretty toys and high moral tone be lucky if?

The quote you are looking for is:

"Between your love of pretty toys and your high moral tone, you'd be lucky if you could tell the difference between a saddle and a spittoon."

This line is spoken by John Wayne's character, "Big Jake McCandles," to his grandson, "Little Jake," in the 1971 Western film *Big Jake*.

This quote is often used to point out hypocrisy or a disconnect between someone's actions and their pronouncements of moral superiority.
