“I’m a woman of very few words, but lots of action.”

Save a boyfriend for a rainy day – and another, in case it doesn’t rain.

Getting married is like trading in the adoration of many for the sarcasm of one.

All discarded lovers should be given a second chance, but with somebody else.

We’re intellectual opposites. Well, I’m intellectual and you’re opposite.

I like a man who’s good, but not too good – for the good die young, and I hate a dead one.

You are never too old to become younger!

Well behaved women do not make history.

I have always felt a gift diamond shines so much better than one you buy for yourself.

Cultivate your curves – they may be dangerous but they won’t be avoided.

I generally avoid temptation unless I can’t resist it.

I don’t know a lot about politics, but I can recognise a good party man when I see one.

Too much of a good thing can be taxing.

Words should be used as tools of communication and not as a substitute for action.

Ten men waiting for me at the door? Send one of them home, I’m tired.

It’s not what you can do, but the way you do it that counts.

The best way to hold a man is in your arms.

Watch your actions, they become your habits. Watch your habits, they become your character.

Though free to think and act, we are held together, like the stars in the firmament, with ties inseparable. These ties cannot be seen, but we can feel them.

The consequences of our actions are always so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed.

If one’s actions are honest, one does not need the predated confidence of others.

It is in your act that you exist, not in your body. Your act is yourself, and there is no other you.

If your actions create a legacy that inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, then you are an excellent leader.

The challenge before us right now is still immense and growing, and so is the need for bold action to fight this pandemic.

Mental toughness is a state of mind – you could call it character in action.
