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

There is no personal achievement in being born beautiful.

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

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

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

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

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