“You are the one that possesses the keys to your being. You carry the passport to your own happiness.”

Sleep is easier to make up than a unique evening.

Some fairy tales end with the girl marrying the prince some start there.

You know, there’s a thing about the woman across the room. You see the woman across the room, you think, She’s so poised; she’s so together. But she looks at you and you are the woman across the room for her.

Attitude is everything.

Usually, the fairy tale ends with the girl marrying the prince. But mine started as soon as the marriage was over.

The relationship that counts most in my life is the one I have with myself. I have a great, great, great relationship with myself, and it gets better and better as I get older. The other day, I was talking to Barry in the car and I said, ‘I’m so glad I’m me!’

I design for the woman who loves being a woman.

Don’t talk about your diet. It’s just boring, and the last thing you need when dieting is to be considered boring.

I don’t care about fashion, I care about women.

Confidence. If you have it, you can make anything look good.

My best friend is me, and I take good care of me.

If you’re not sure what to wear, if you don’t know how everyone else is going to be, then just be at your most beautiful.

My religious superstition gave place to rational ideas based on scientific facts, and in proportion as I looked at everything from a new standpoint, I grew more happy day by day.

The happiest people are the ones who don’t try to define happiness.

Doing good to others is not a duty. It is a joy, for it increases your own health and happiness.

We have everything we need to be happy, but we aren’t happy. Something’s missing.

Joy attracts more joy. Happiness attracts more happiness. Peace attracts more peace. GRATITUDE attracts more GRATITUDE. Kindness attracts more kindness. Love attracts more love. Your job is an inside one. To change your world, all you have to do is change the way you feel inside. How easy is that?

Happiness finds you when your means to control is out of the spotlight.

If you have any young friends who aspire to become writers, the second-greatest favor you can do them is to present them with copies of The Elements of Style. The first-greatest, of course, is to shoot them now, while they’re happy.

I am glad to see that men are getting their rights, but I want women to get theirs, and while the water is stirring, I will step into the pool.
