Quotes by Imelda Marcos

“It isnt the mountain ahead that wears you out; its the grain of sand in your shoe.”

“Always put yourself in others shoes. If you feel it hurts you, it will probably hurt the other person, too.”

“Between saying and doing many a pair of shoes is worn out.”

“Life is not a matter of place, things or comfort; rather, it concerns the basic human rights of family, country, justice and human dignity.”

“If you know how rich you are, you are not rich. But me, I am not aware of the extent of my wealth. Thats how rich we are.”

“I think thats a very kinky issue with the panties and bras. Thats the thing that they will display: shoes, panties and bras.”

“Doesnt the fight for survival also justify swindle and theft? In self defence, anything goes.”

“Never dress down for the poor. They wont respect you for it. They want their First Lady to look like a million dollars.”

I did NOT have three thousand pairs of shoes, I had one thousand and sixty.

I love everybody. One of the great things about me is that I have a very positive attitude.

Never dress down for the poor. They wont respect you for it. They want their First Lady to look like a million dollars.

My dreams were always small and puny. All I ever needed was a little house with a little picket fence by the sea. Little did I know that I would live in Malacanang Palace for 20 years and visit all the major palaces of mankind. And then also meet ordinary citizens and the leaders of superpowers.

Life is not a matter of place, things or comfort; rather, it concerns the basic human rights of family, country, justice and human dignity.

I always say you can never be extravagant with beauty. Beauty is God made real. Beauty is life.

It is shallow people who think beauty is frivolous or excessive. If you are bringing beauty and god, you are enriching the country. Rice feeds the body, books feed the mind, beauty feeds the soul. It is one thing I can really be proud of and stand tall in the world.

Filipinos dont wallow in what is miserable and ugly. They recycle the bad into things of beauty.

The only rich person is a person who is rich in spirit. I have no money deposit. I have only beauty deposit.

People say Im extravagant because I want to be surrounded by beauty. But tell me, who wants to be surrounded by garbage?

Filipinos want beauty. I have to look beautiful so that the poor Filipinos will have a star to look at from their slums.

I did not have three thousand pairs of shoes, I had one thousand and sixty.
