Danh ngôn của Imelda Marcos (Sứ mệnh: 5)

I did not have three thousand pairs of shoes, I had one thousand and sixty.
I have never been a material girl. My father always told me never to love anything that cannot love you back.
Never dress down for the poor. They won't respect you for it. They want their First Lady to look like a million dollars.
When they see me holding fish, they can see that I am comfortable with kings as well as with paupers.
People say I'm 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.
Life is not a matter of place, things or comfort; rather, it concerns the basic human rights of family, country, justice and human dignity.
Filipinos don't wallow in what is miserable and ugly. They recycle the bad into things of beauty.
They went into my closets looking for skeletons, but thank God, all they found were shoes, beautiful shoes.
I always say you can never be extravagant with beauty. Beauty is God made real. Beauty is life.
I love everybody. One of the great things about me is that I have a very positive attitude.
Ferdinand was a gold trader. He was a lawyer for mining companies. When he entered politics in l949, he had tons and tons of gold. When Bill Gates was a college dropout, Ferdinand already possessed billions of dollars and tons of gold. It wasn't stolen.
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.
