There is no personal achievement in being born beautiful.
I don't yearn to be a child again.
I was deaf and dumb and blind to all but me, myself and I.
Like charity, I believe glamour should begin at home.
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.
If you have enthusiasm, you have a very dynamic, effective companion to travel with you on the road to Somewhere.
A charming woman is a busy woman.
I hated school . . . . One of the reasons was a learning disability, dyslexia, which no one understood at the time. I still can't spell . . .
As an actress, I have to be objective about myself. If I don't criticize myself, there are plenty who will do a find job of it for me!
Everything worthwhile, everything of any value, has its price. Everything anyone has ever wanted has come neatly wrapped up in its penalties.
I don't know many ambition- ridden people who really enjoy themselves. Even success doesn't seem to still the insatiable, gnawing hunger of their ambition. Ambition is a good gift, but it cannot be all.
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.
I believe in the efficacy of prayer and I have a deep and sorrowful sympathy for one who is without faith. I believe our Father answers every prayer-all prayers-with His matchless, inscrutable wisdom, with infinite compassion and with love.
We can't have everything! It took a lot of growing up for me to realize this unalterable fact and to discipline myself into accepting it.
