Try to understand me. Nothing is impossible.
Gracie Allen
They laughed at Joan of Arc, but she went right ahead and built it.
Gracie Allen
When you learn to make everybody happy, you will possess the golden secret of how to milk the contented voters. But do it in such a way that they won't think you want them to vote for you just because you need the money. They need the money, and besides, they can think up other reasons if they try.
Gracie Allen
This recipe is certainly silly. It says to separate two eggs, but it doesn't say how far to separate them.
Gracie Allen
It's foolish to bet on a horse without talking to him first. I know it seems silly to ask a horse who's going to win a race - but it's no sillier than asking anyone else.
Gracie Allen
This used to be a government of checks and balances. Now it's all checks and no balances.
Gracie Allen

Gracie Allen
Some people are amazed at my brain, but really it's nothing.
Gracie Allen
You kissed me like that when I was a blushing bride ...? I wonder what I was blushing about?
Gracie Allen
Never place a period where God has placed a comma.
Gracie Allen
It's a game everybody plays. If you see a man with a beard and holler Beaver! it's five points. And if you see a man with a moustache, it's onlI three points.
Gracie Allen
Gracie: Don't give up, Blanche. Women don't do that. Look at Betsy Ross, Martha Washington-they didn't give up. Look at Nina Jones. Blanche Morton: Nina Jones? Gracie: I've never heard of her either, because she gave up.
Gracie Allen
I often put boiling water in the freezer. Then whenever I need boiling water,I simply defrost it.
Gracie Allen
Brains, integrity, and force may be all very well, but what you need today is Charm. Go ahead and work on your economic programs if you want to, I'll develop my radio personality.
