Image
I would have to ask the public to choose between a culture of hate or a culture of love. I am sure our poor will pick the latter. With the Marcos assets, we could regain this value of sharing love with one another.

I was no Marie Antoinette. I was not born to nobility, but I had a human right to nobility.
Imelda Marcos
Image
I really had no great love for shoes. I was a working First Lady I was always in canvas shoes. I did nurture the shoes industry of the Philippines, and so every time there was a shoe fair, I would receive a pair of shoes as a token of gratitude.
Imelda Marcos
Image
When they see me holding fish, they can see that I am comfortable with kings as well as with paupers.
Imelda Marcos

Never dress down for the poor. They won't respect you for it. They want their First Lady to look like a million dollars.
Imelda Marcos
Image
Win or lose, we go shopping after the election.
Imelda Marcos

The Marcos era was the golden time for the Philippines. We had the lowest crime rate in the world in Manila and real development then. At last, people are starting to understand this.
Imelda Marcos
