I believe in living today. Not in yesterday, nor in tomorrow.

A face that is really lovely in repose can fall apart if, when its owner stars to talk, she distorts every feature.

I was a very wanting child.

Love isn’t something you find. Love is something that finds you.

I was as impatient about finding my dream man as I was about everything else I wanted.

If you have enthusiasm, you have a very dynamic, effective companion to travel with you on the road to Somewhere.

The split second she ceases to care is the only time a woman ceases to be attractive.

Nearly everyone I met, worked with, or read about was my teacher, one way or another.

I’m not sure the public knows what it wants.

In my dreams, I could be a Princess, and that’s what I was. Like most little girls, I believed nothing less than a Prince could make my dreams come true.

It’s so important to look relaxed.

I’ve learned that getting what you want gives you a pretty high batting average, and leaves you plenty to struggle for.

No one is ever too old, too rich, too poor, to pray.

I believe in the Golden Rule. I believe in practicing it.

I’ve always been scared to death of pain – afraid, even, to think of it.

I’m grateful to God for His bountiful gifts… He gave me courage and faith in myself.

I do not hold with those who think it is all right to do whatever you want so long as it doesn’t hurt anyone. Who’s to be the judge of that?

Certainly tears are given to us to use. Like all good gifts, they should be used properly.

I believe you have to nurture your conscience.

Your hands, your eyes, your voice, your thoughts are your servants.

I was always independent. I never wanted to follow the crowd, but I think that following the crow is more typical of teenage behavior today than in my day. And I do deplore it.

A charming woman… doesn’t follow the crowd. She is herself.

A pleasant voice, which has to include clear enunciation, is not only attractive to those who hear it… its appeal is permanent.

I think making mistakes is as inevitable as receiving disappointments.

In common with many others in the varied branches of our profession, my academic education is subnormal.

Gratitude isn’t a burdening emotion.

I was not quite 4 when Mamma moved all of us and all our worldly goods to Hollywood.

Everything worthwhile, everything of any value, has its price. Everything anyone has ever wanted has come neatly wrapped up in its penalties.

Like charity, I believe glamour should begin at home.

I can’t imagine dating a boy, meeting him only outside the home. What’s a home and family for if it’s not the center of one’s life?

Unless some misfortune has made it impossible, everyone can have good posture.

So I’m a square! Well, at least I’m not a square peg in a round hole.

Wearing the correct dress for any occasion is a matter of good manners.

I don’t yearn to be a child again.

Giving credit where credit is due is a very rewarding habit to form. Its rewards are inestimable.

Success can’t be forced.

Just because you want to be glamorous, don’t be a sheep about your eye makeup.

I think teenage impatience is just plain human nature! I think every generation has to cope with different circumstances, different problems. But it’s the world that’s changed. Human nature hasn’t.

A face is like the outside of a house, and most faces, like most houses, give us an idea of what we can expect to find inside.

I was deaf and dumb and blind to all but me, myself and I.

What you don’t know intrigues you more than what you do know.

I’d thought of myself as a great big motion picture star from the time I was 6.

I want no part of making any contribution whatsoever to the despair which eventually follows downbeat thinking.

Sometimes, a woman filled with all sorts of uncertainties in most of the areas of life and emotion, will have her only confidence and independence in her fashion-sense. I’m sure this is a misfortune. Fashion...

There is no personal achievement in being born beautiful.

I’d lived by quotations, practically all my life.

I couldn’t bear it if anyone knew I had hardly any self-confidence at all.

Fashion should not be expected to serve in the stead of courage or character.

There are no ugly ducklings.

Listening is more than just a very rewarding habit. After awhile you discover what a world of information you can gain from hearing what others say, and If you’re interested, you’re interesting. All the most...
