No one is ever too old, too rich, too poor, to pray.
I was a very wanting child.
Every day, no matter what I'm doing, I say, 'Lord, I'll do the best I can, and You do the rest.
Glamour is something no woman can be born with. It's not a gift at all. It's more of a concoction than anything else.
I've a full-length triple-panel mirror in which I can see every possible angle, and I spend quite a lot of time in front of it.
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.
If you use disappointments as sort of mid- semester exams, for learning, you will learn that every disappointment you overcome makes you stronger- and wiser. The greatest success stories have been lived by those who had to grow strong and wise in that very way.
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.
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.
A beguiling lady doesn't take after the swarm. She is herself.
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.
I'm not sure the public knows what it wants.
What you don't know intrigues you more than what you do know.
Selfishness and self-absorption are deadly charm-exterminators.
