I always say you can never be extravagant with beauty. Beauty is God made real. Beauty is life.
Imelda Marcos
I will not say sorry and be pardoned for doing a godly act.
Imelda Marcos
I get my fingers in all our pies. Before you know it, your little fingers including all your toes are in all the pies.
Imelda Marcos
If you know how much you've got, you probably haven't got much.
Imelda Marcos
God is love. I have loved. Therefore, I will go to heaven.
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
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
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
I was no Marie Antoinette. I was not born to nobility, but I had a human right to nobility.
Imelda Marcos
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.
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!
Imelda Marcos
Funny, I never shopped. Even my jewelry - not a piece of my jewelry I bought for me.
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
Filipinos want beauty. I have to look beautiful so that the poor Filipinos will have a star to look at from their slums.
Imelda Marcos
They call me corrupt, frivolous. I am not at all privileged. Maybe the only privileged thing is my face. And corrupt? God! I would not look like this if I am corrupt. Some ugliness would settle down on my system.
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
The Reagans were dear friends for many years, even when he was governor of California. Nancy appreciated a lot of Philippine-made things.
Imelda Marcos
It's the rich you can terrorize. The poor have nothing to lose.
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 First Lady by accident. I was not elected by the people but here I am.
