Estee Lauder

I want to be remembered as the woman who loved people and who loved her work.

If you put your mind to it, you can do anything.

I had to be twice as good to get half as far.

Whatever you do, do it well. Do it so well that when people see you do it, they will want to come back and see you do it again and they will want to bring others and show them how well you do what you do.

I have never worked a day in my life without learning something new.

The best thing to do is to get your product out there and let people try it.

If you don't ask, you don't get.

You can't be everything to everyone, but you can be everything to someone.

I was always a little ahead of my time.

The world is full of opportunities, you just have to know where to look.

There are no shortcuts to success. It's all about hard work and dedication.

The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.

I believe that if you have a product that is good, you don't need a lot of advertising.

I didn't invent anything. I just put things together in a new way.

It takes courage to start a business, but it takes even more courage to keep it going.

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

I never saw myself as a businesswoman. I saw myself as a woman who loved beauty.

The customer is always right, even when they're wrong.

Don't be afraid to take risks. That's how you learn and grow.

I always wanted to be a star. I just didn't know I would be a star of cosmetics.
