There is no lasting glory in rapid weight loss.
Since the pleasure of most foods is in the first few bites, eat one thing on your plate at a time, at least at the start of the meal when you can concentrate and enjoy the full flavors.
Wine is a living, breathing thing during its time in the bottle and in the glass. It is always changing, especially in the glass. A little oxygen can really open up and release the flavors in a complex wine, as well as mellow the rougher edge of immaturity.
My friends say everything I touch turns to gold. I'll say, 'I've been very lucky.
I've never been ambitious.
Of course there are fat French women. There are fat people everywhere.
When I grew up in France, I was a normal size. And then I came to the United States and I gained 20 pounds.
Give us being and feeling over having any day.
In America, you look at food as bad and guilty. In France, we love food and we enjoy food; food is pleasure.

Make treating yourself a priority and always remember your life is happening now. Don't put off all your dreams and pleasures to another day. In any balanced personal definition of success there has to be a powerful element of living life in the present.

You and I don't have the same genetics, we don't live in the same places, but we can have the same basic attitude - being comfortable in our skin.
French women love bread and would never consider a life without carbs.
I find it so unattractive when women wear sneakers with their business suits. I wear a nice pair of loafers or low-heeled pumps, and that's that.
Intelligence, knowledge or experience are important and might get you a job, but strong communication skills are what will get you promoted.
One does not laugh because one is happy; one is happy because one laughs.
