Lucille Ball

Luck? I don't know anything about luck. I've never banked on it and I'm afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work - and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't.

Women's Lib? Oh, I'm afraid it doesn't interest me one bit. I've been so liberated it hurts.

I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.

Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.

One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn't pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.

I'm not funny. What I am is brave.
