Mae West

I'm a woman of very few words, but lots of action.

He who hesitates is a damned fool.

Love thy neighbor — and if he happens to be tall, debonair and devastating, it will be that much easier.

An ounce of performance is worth pounds of promises.

Tu vivi solo una volta, ma se lo fai bene, una volta è abbastanza.

JUDGE: Are you trying to show contempt for this court?

MAE WEST: I was doin' my best to hide it.

Good women are no fun... The only good woman I can recall in history was Betsy Ross. And all she ever made was a flag.

When I'm good, I'm very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better.

The score never interested me, only the game.

If I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.

You may admire a girl's curves on the first introduction, but the second meeting shows up new angles.

To err is human - but it feels divine.

I'll try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to make sure.

It isn't what I do, but how I do it. It isn't what I say, but how I say it, and how I look when I do it and say it.

Women with pasts interest men because they hope history will repeat itself.
