Helen Gurley Brown quotes about
nice people full-potential
I've just been so lucky. I don't know if you're really able to take advantage of your full potential until you're older. There are a few people who are incredibly gifted and make it when they are very young, but I didn't. With women it takes longer. You just keep working and when you finally get it, it feels very, very nice.
special-you people feelings
There are not that many people who know how to edit. It's a funny tiny little obscure talent but it's very special. You have to have the feeling of popular taste.
beautiful cheer people
The happiest people I know are not those who are the most beautiful, rich or famous. The happiest people I see are simply those who stay cheerful and try to cheer up others while getting through their own bad stuff
marriage thinking people
I think a single woman's biggest problem is coping with the people who are trying to marry her off!
people brilliant faster
The faster you get back to people, the less brilliant you have to be,
love-you interesting people
Being somebody is better than not being somebody vis à vis what you want out of life. If you want to talk to interesting people and have them talk to you, and if you want enough money to live someplace pleasant and to go on trips and be able to help people you love, you simply have to be somebody.
thinking people want
It's unrealistic to think you can only have one good product. People are not that poor. They can buy what they want.
beautiful men people
I guess anyone with a beautiful body, man or woman, loves to be looked at, but to admit such a thing is a little rough at times. That's why it's hard to get people to pose.
american-editor money
You can have your titular recognition. I'll take money and power.
american-editor bad funny girls good
Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere.
mother couple father
My father died when I was 10; my sister got polio a couple of years later and was paralyzed. So there I was - my sister in a wheel chair, my father gone, and my mother a quiet little mouse. You see, it was the '30s in the South, so my mother was not prepared to cope. So I was scared to death. And being that scared, everything afterward became a struggle not to go down the drain. Struggling became a way of life for me.
successful age survivor
I guess I'm a survivor. There are many of us survivors and any successful woman of my age has somewhat of that in her.
recognition
You can have your titular recognition. I'll take the money and the power.
trying adrenal-glands good-marriage
Trying to describe a good marriage is like trying to describe your adrenal glands. You know they're in there functioning but you don't really understand how they work.
