WHO SAID THAT? Famous quotes

Do you know who said it? These famous quotes are challenging to identify. Enjoy them if you can't place them. The two quotes from my books at the end may be easier. What's your favorite quote?

1. "Success is liking yourself, liking what you do and liking how you do it."

2. "Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising."

3. "I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That's deep enough. What do you want, an adorable pancreas?" 

4. "Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together."

5. "Character is like a tree and reputation is like it's shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing."

6. "The nice thing about being a celebrity is when you bore people, they think it's their fault."

7.  "I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals."

8.  "I loathe people who keep dogs. They are cowards who haven't the guts to bite people themselves."

9. "A human being has a natural desire to have more of a good thing than he needs."

10. "Women need a reason to have sex. Men just need a place."
