Mae West, Anyone?

What sassy girl doesn't love some Mae West?  Here are some of my favorite "Mae Westyisms":



A dame that knows the ropes isn't likely to get tied up.

A hard man is good to find.


A man can be short and dumpy and getting bald but if he has fire, women will like him.


A man has one hundred dollars and you leave him with two dollars, that's subtraction.


A man in the house is worth two in the street.


A man's kiss is his signature.


A woman in love can't be reasonable - or she probably wouldn't be in love.


All discarded lovers should be given a second chance, but with somebody else.


An ounce of performance is worth pounds of promises.


Any time you got nothing to do - and lots of time to do it - come on up.


Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly.


Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.


Cultivate your curves - they may be dangerous but they won't be avoided.


Don't keep a man guessing too long - he's sure to find the answer somewhere else.


Don't marry a man to reform him - that's what reform schools are for.


Every man I meet wants to protect me. I can't figure out what from.


Give a man a free hand and he'll run it all over you.


He who hesitates is a damned fool.


He's the kind of man a woman would have to marry to get rid of.
 


I like restraint, if it doesn't go too far.

I never loved another person the way I loved myself.


I never worry about diets. The only carrots that interest me are the number you get in a diamond.


I only have 'yes' men around me. Who needs 'no' men?


I only like two kinds of men, domestic and imported.


I see you're a man with ideals. I better be going before you've still got them.


I speak two languages, Body and English.


I used to be Snow White, but I drifted.


I'll try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to make sure.


I'm a woman of very few words, but lots of action.


I'm no model lady. A model's just an imitation of the real thing.



These are the rules we should live by.
