More quotes by Ann Landers
If you have a good name, if you are right more often than you are wrong, if your children respect you, if your grandchildren are glad to see you, if your friends can count on you and you can count on them in time of trouble, if you can face your God and say I have done my best, then you are a success.
Ann Landers
Grown-up people can wait.
Ann Landers
At age 20, we worry about what others think of us. At age 40, we don't care what they think of us. At age 60, we discover they haven't been thinking of us at all.
Ann Landers

Ann Landers
Maturity is the art of living in peace with that which cannot be changed, the courage to change that which should be changed, no matter what it takes, and the wisdom to know the difference.

People have one year after the wedding to send a gift. Thank-you notes must be written immediately. If you don't receive an acknowledgment within three months, phone and ask if it was received. If the bride and groom are embarrassed, fine. They deserve to be.
Ann Landers
If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things that are missing. If you don't have love in your life, no matter what else there is, it's not enough.
Ann Landers
Class is the sure-footedness that comes with having proved you can meet life.
Ann Landers
Anyone who believes the competitive spirit in America is dead has never been in a supermarket when the cashier opens another check-out line.
Ann Landers
One of the best ways to measure people is how they behave when something free is offered.
Ann Landers
It means being able to resist the urge for immediate gratification and opt for the course of action that will pay off later.
Ann Landers
No person ever died by drowning in their own sweat.
Ann Landers
Maturity isn't a product of growing older. It's a product of growing wiser.
Ann Landers
Women who are devoted to causes, such as overpopulation and the underprivileged [sic], are much less interested in fashion than, let's say, those who lunch at La Grenouille and Le Cirque.
Ann Landers
Know when to tune out, if you listen to too much advice you may wind up making other peoples mistakes.
