Lucille Ball
» Age and Aging » “The secret to staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.”
» Children » “You see much more of your children once they leave home.”
» Effort » “If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. The more things you do, the more you can do.”
» Knowledge » “I think knowing what you cannot do is more important than knowing what you can.”
» Luck » “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.”
» Regret » “I regret the passing of the studio system. I was very appreciative of it because I had no talent.”
» Self-esteem » “Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.”
