Mae West

Selected quotes by Mae West (1892-1980)

A hard man is good to find.

A man has one hundred dollars and you leave him with two dollars, that's subtraction.
*The Ogre will understand this when he gets his credit card bill this month. He left it on my hotel room for incidentals - no one got less than a 30% tip.*

A man's kiss is his signature.

An ounce of performance is worth pounds of promises.

Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly.

Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.

Don't marry a man to reform him - that's what reform schools are for.

Give a man a free hand and he'll run it all over you.

Good sex is like good bridge. If you don't have a good partner, you'd better have a good hand.
