Good luck needs no explanation.

The U.N. acts as the world's conscience, and over eighty-five percent of the work that is done by the United Nations is in the social, economic, educational and cultural fields.

We would have to invent the U.N. if we did not have it, which is not an original thought.

Good luck needs no explanation.

When I was 14, I was the oldest I ever was. I've been getting younger ever since.

I work a seventeen hour day, and I'm personally responsible for 108 staff members in the embassy.

I ran for Congress, just once.

I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six. Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph.

Any star can be devoured by human adoration, sparkle by sparkle.

At the end of the Depression, people were perhaps looking for something to cheer themselves up. They fell in love with a dog and a little girl. It won't happen again.

By the time I got to the Fox studio for my first major film, I knew how to hit a mark. I knew how to memorize lines. I knew how to pay attention.

I had had enough pretend. I wanted to be in the real world.

I hate that song 'Mr. Bojangles.' It drives me up the wall, since it's not about him at all. He was never a bum in jail.

I loved what I did. I remember cruel mothers who would pinch their children to make them cry in a scene, but my mother encircled me with affection.

I wanted to be in the FBI. I also wanted to be a pie salesman.

I'm not too proud of the movies I made as a grownup except for 'That Hagen Girl', which nobody remembers but which gave me a chance to act.

I've always been bossy.

I've been blessed with three wonderful careers: motion pictures and television, wife, mother and grandmother... and diplomatic services for the United States government.

I've led three lives: the acting part, wife and mother - which is a career - and international relations. I'm proud of my career, the first one, and I'm proud of the other two, too.

Make-believe colors the past with innocent distortion, and it swirls ahead of us in a thousand ways in science, in politics, in every bold intention.

Most of the people in Ghana wouldn't know me as an actress. They'd know me for my work at the U.N.

Nothing crushes freedom as substantially as a tank.

Politicians are actors, too, don't you think? Usually, if you like people and you're outgoing, not a shy little thing, you can do pretty well in politics.

Shirley Temple opens doors for Shirley Temple Black.

Time is money. Wasted time means wasted money means trouble.

When I asked my mother why crowds shouted my name and said 'We love you,' she would dust it off by saying, 'Your work makes them happy.' She never let it go to my head.

When you're a performer, you have to please a large audience. And when you're in politics, you have to please a large audience, too.

I stopped believing in Santa Clause when I was six. Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph.

Intentions often melt in the face of unexpected opportunity.

Luck is everything... My good luck in life was to be a really frightened person. I'm fortunate to be a coward, to have a low threshold of fear, because a hero couldn't make a good suspense film.

I still have horrible luck with girls.

How is it the great pieces of good luck fall to us?

With a little bit of luck, you'll never work!

The greatest luck that I've had has been the ability to find men and women who came into my administration who worked with me and brought extraordinary talents that we were able to take full advantage of.

So, it takes a lot of chance and luck. I mean I was lucky enough to get in the program where people with the same skills never made it to the program. So keep trying.

Be grateful for luck. Pay the thunder no mind - listen to the birds. And don't hate nobody.

Whoever has the luck to be born a character can laugh even at death. Because a character will never die! A man will die, a writer, the instrument of creation: but what he has created will never die!

I feel I'd like to share my luck and my life. Being in love is the best thing in the world.

Success is simply a matter of luck. Ask any failure.

I used to annoy my father by telling him how much I felt luck was with me.

People always call it luck when you've acted more sensibly than they have.

I have a musical called Goodbye and Good Luck, based on a Grace Paley short story. I also have King Island Christmas, and there are 20 different productions of it this year.

English usage is sometimes more than mere taste, judgment and education - sometimes it's sheer luck, like getting across the street.

The deepest thing in any one is the conviction of the bad luck that follows boasting.

Care and diligence bring luck.

So it's probably eighty percent luck and twenty percent skill.

The people have spoken. Their decision is sovereign. We all respect it... I wish good luck to those who will now govern France.

I agree with Sophocles: the greatest luck is not to have been born - but, as the joke goes on, very few people succeed in it.

Luck's always to blame.
