I was shy for several years in my early days in Hollywood until I figured out that no one really gave a damn if I was shy or not, and I got over my shyness.
Lucille Ball

remember to recognize the small successes that you will have. Don't let the brightness of that big goal blind you to what happens on the way toward the goal. Meet one wave at a time and enjoy what progress you make. I want you please not to be taken up in the undertow of pessimism.

Use a make-up table with everything close at hand and don't rush otherwise you'll look like a patchwork quilt.
Lucille Ball

Knowing what you can not do is more important than knowing what you can do. In fact, that's good taste.
Lucille Ball
Image
I would rather regret the things that I have done than the things that I have not.

Luck? Luck is hard work - and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't.

Children internalize their parents' unhappiness. Fortunately, they absorb our contentment just as readily.
Lucille Ball

You see much more of your children once they leave home.

I'm happy that I have brought laughter because I have been shown by many the value of it in so many lives, in so many ways.
Lucille Ball

I believe that we're as happy in life as we make up our minds to be.

Love yourself first and everything falls into line.

One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn't pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.

How I Love Lucy was born? We decided that instead of divorce lawyers profiting from our mistakes, we'd profit from them.
