More quotes by Imelda Marcos
I was no Marie Antoinette. I was not born to nobility, but I had a human right to nobility.
Imelda Marcos
People say I'm extravagant because I want to be surrounded by beauty. But tell me, who wants to be surrounded by garbage?
Imelda Marcos
Our opponent [Cory Aquino] does not put on any make up. She does not have her fingernails manicured. You know gays. They are for beauty. Filipinos who like beauty, love and God are for Marcos.
Imelda Marcos
It is shallow people who think beauty is frivolous or excessive. If you are bringing beauty and god, you are enriching the country. Rice feeds the body, books feed the mind, beauty feeds the soul. It is one thing I can really be proud of and stand tall in the world.
Imelda Marcos
I am beyond logic and rationality.
Imelda Marcos
God is love. I have loved. Therefore, I will go to heaven.
Imelda Marcos
I am First Lady by accident. I was not elected by the people but here I am.
Imelda Marcos
If you know how much you've got, you probably haven't got much.
Imelda Marcos
Life is not a matter of place, things or comfort rather, it concerns the basic human rights of family, country, justice and human dignity.
Imelda Marcos
I will come up with a project that will wipe out poverty in the Philippines in two years. I want to remove the people from economic crisis by using the Marcos wealth. Long after I'm gone, people will remember me for building them homes and roads and hospitals and giving them food.
Imelda Marcos
I always say you can never be extravagant with beauty. Beauty is God made real. Beauty is life.
Imelda Marcos
Ferdinand was a gold trader. He was a lawyer for mining companies. When he entered politics in l949, he had tons and tons of gold. When Bill Gates was a college dropout, Ferdinand already possessed billions of dollars and tons of gold. It wasn't stolen.
Imelda Marcos
I get so tired listening to one million dollars here, one million dollars there, it's so petty.
Imelda Marcos
Continuous persecution of widows and orphans is a crime. Even the Bible says there is a specific place in hell for those who oppress widows.
Imelda Marcos
I hardly can sleep. I feel that my target now is really to save Mother Earth for humanity. And it's doable.
Imelda Marcos
Funny, I never shopped. Even my jewelry - not a piece of my jewelry I bought for me.
Imelda Marcos
The Philippines is in a strategic position. It is both East and West, right and left, rich and poor. We are neither here nor there.
Imelda Marcos
My grandchildren are growing up and they could not understand why the Marcoses are still being crucified although we keep on telling them that we did not steal from the Filipino people.
Imelda Marcos
My dreams were always small and puny. All I ever needed was a little house with a little picket fence by the sea. Little did I know that I would live in Malacanang Palace for 20 years and visit all the major palaces of mankind. And then also meet ordinary citizens and the leaders of superpowers.
Imelda Marcos
Why should people be afraid that we use a few small pellets of uranium at the nuclear power plant in Bataan? Don't they know that we're surrounded by uranium? We have the world's fourth largest deposits of uranium. Yes, we're all radioactive -- must be the reason why we have so many faith healers!
