“A smile and kind word will gain more than a dollar.” — Marie Dressler

From the beginning, I have played my life as comedy rather than the tragedy many would have made of it.

My instinct has always been to turn drawbacks into drawing cards.

It is better to put oneself in the place of another than to condemn, for nobody knows what he would do under unusual circumstances.

I look for kindness and expect kindness, and I get it.

A smile and kind word will gain more than a dollar. — Marie Dressler
