On conversation

The opposite of talking isn’t listening. The opposite of talking is waiting.

The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing in the right place but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

On Money

Money, if it does not bring you happiness, will at least help you be miserable in comfort.

There are people who have money and people who are rich.

On Men

The only time a woman really succeeds in changing a man is when he is a baby.

On diet

The chief excitement in a woman’s life is spotting women who are fatter than she is.

And finally on Old Age

 Old age is like a plane flying through a storm. Once you’re aboard, there’s nothing you can do about it.
