“George Bush's charm offensive did work. It was aimed at governments and he did well at that level - that is important because foreign policy is decided by governments, not by public opinion. He did talk up the EU and they did shift slightly on Iran and the Middle East.”
Charles Grant
“All charming people, I fancy, are spoiled. It is the secret of their attraction.”
Oscar Wilde
“The aim of the liar is simply to charm, to delight, to give pleasure. He is the very basis of civilized society.”
“Heroine: girl who is perfectly charming to live with, in a book.”
Mark Twain
“"Charm" - which means the power to effect work without employing brute force - is indispensable to women. Charm is a woman's strength just as strength is a man's charm.”
Havelock Ellis
“Unless one is wealthy there is no use in being a charming fellow. Romance is the privilege of the rich, not the profession of the unemployed. The poor should be practical and prosaic. It is better to have a permanent income than to be fascinating.”
“Brains, integrity, and force may be all very well, but what you need today is Charm. Go ahead and work on your economic programs if you want to, I'll develop my radio personality.”
Gracie Allen
