If you know how much you've got, you probably haven't got much.

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.

My dreams have become puny with the reality my life has become.

“‘Nouveau riche’ is better than ‘no riche.’”

I was born ostentatious. They will list my name in the dictionary someday. They will use 'Imeldific' to mean ostentatious extravagance.

If you know how rich you are, you are not rich. But me, I am not aware of the extent of my wealth. That's how rich we are.
