Imelda Marcos Quotations

They need a role model. They need a star!

I beg Osama to stop warring. He is a Muslim, and Islam means peace. Nobody wins in a war... I wish I were tapped in the problem about Iraq. I knew Saddam enough that I could have talked him into surrendering. But it's too late.

More than life, I value vindication. When you are at peace with the truth and you know that you are on the side of the right and God is on your side, you are not afraid of anything, including jail.

The Philippines is where Asia wears a smile. Beautiful products can only be made by happy people.

President Marcos was investing in precious metals long before he entered politics.

Funny, I never shopped. Even my jewelry not a piece of my jewelry I bought for me.

I have a different way of thinking. I think synergistically. I'm not linear in thinking, I'm not very logical.

I have no weakness for shoes. I wear very simple shoes which are pump shoes. It is not one of my weaknesses.

I am my little people's star and slave. When I go out into the barrios, I get dressed because I know my little people want to see a star. Other presidents' wives have gone to the barrios wearing house dresses and slippers. That's not what people want to see. People want someone they can love, someone to set an example.

They've listed my name in the dictionary - 'Imeldific' is used to mean ostentatious extravagance... But the truth will prevail.
