My success was not based so much on any great intelligence but on great common sense.

Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere.

Charm is the next best asset after looks and brains and can almost make up for looks.

Money, if it does not bring you happiness, will at least help you be miserable in comfort.

Never fail to know that if you are doing all the talking you are boring somebody.

One of the paramount reasons for staying attractive is so you can have somebody to go to bed with.

Beauty can't amuse you, but brainwork - reading, writing, thinking - can.

Don't use men to get what you want in life. Get it yourself.

You can have your titular recognition. I'll take money and power.

Love doesnt drop on you unexpectedly you have to give off signals sort of like an amateur radio operator.

After you're older, two things are possibly more important than any others: health and money.

You name it, we're out there with the latest and the best cutting edge.

Nearly every glamorous, wealthy, successful career woman you might envy now started out as some kind of schlep.

Love doesn't drop on you unexpectedly; you have to give off signals, sort of like an amateur radio operator.

Never fail to know that if you are doing all the talking, you are boring somebody.
