"A woman must make her fortune before she is 30; or work after she is 30; or get married."

"A woman should be like a single flower, not a whole bouquet."

"How many women have the courage to start properly with a cold, cold bath early in the morning? I jump in, throw the water, cold as ice, and after the first plunge I am happy."

"If I get married, I think I'd pick out a newspaperman rather than a millionaire. A newspaperman is a regular fellow."

"Most women are indulgent of themselves. This is a mistake. It should be only the reward of old age."

"Some women flirt more with what they say, and some with what they do."

"The more they applaud, the bigger your salary will be."

"There is no disgrace in working. There was no silver spoon around at the time I was born."

"Whatever success I may have attained is due to the fact that since I was old enough to work at all, my ambition has never deserted me."

"Yes, I am seeking a husband. As soon as the right man asks me, I shall say, 'It is not good for a woman to live alone.'"

"You'll never catch a man if you let him think you are too smart."
