More quotes by Gracie Allen
A platform is something a candidate stands for and the voters fall for.
Gracie Allen

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.
Gracie Allen
Every politician must be able to keep both feet on the fence with his ear to the ground.

Gracie Allen
You kissed me like that when I was a blushing bride ...? I wonder what I was blushing about?
Gracie Allen

Gracie Allen
I read a book twice as fast as anybody else. First, I read the beginning, and then I read the ending, and then I start in the middle and read toward whatever end I like best.
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
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
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.
