Marlo Thomas Quotes

What I love about the theater is the work ethic. I grew up with it Picture Quote #1

Every child deserves a chance at a life filled with love, laughter, friends and family. We are working to find the cures that will give these youngsters a fighting chance. When a child or parent faces an uncertain disease like cancer, they can find hope at St. Jude - a place where miracles can and do happen Picture Quote #1

We are a research center and treatment facility all under one roof Picture Quote #1

It’s so important to raise people to grow up to be who they are and not be forced to be who they’re not. What an awful thing to do to people - it’s like being in prison Picture Quote #1

Be who you are. Otherwise, you end up committing suicide. You end up marrying people when you shouldn’t be marrying them and having terrible, secret lives Picture Quote #1

A man has to be Joe McCarthy to be called ruthless. All a woman has to do is put you on hold Picture Quote #1

I find that balancing my life with my work with the kids at St. Jude, working on books, working on my career as an actor and taking time out for my husband and family help to cushion a lot of the blows Picture Quote #1

Today, all patients accepted for treatment at St. Jude’s are treated without regard for the family’s ability to pay. Everything beyond what is covered by insurance is taken care of, and for those without insurance, all of the medical costs are absorbed by the hospital Picture Quote #1

I think in my case, I had no choice but to have a good sense of humor. I grew up with my dad, Danny Thomas, and George Burns and Bob Hope and Milton Berle and Sid Caesar and all those guys were at our house all the time and telling jokes and making each other laugh Picture Quote #1

My mother was a strong-willed and opinionated woman - a Sicilian! - and if she didn’t like something, she’d let you know about it. So her undying support of her kids went a long way in proving to us that we were on the right path Picture Quote #1

As someone who has spent many years marveling at the brilliant and painstaking work of the doctors, scientists and researchers at St. Jude, I can attest firsthand to the bone-deep commitment these men and women have made in their fight against disease. They are at it around the clock - every hour of the day, every day of the year Picture Quote #1

For me, it’s the unexpected and surprising combinations of produce that are the most exciting and lure me into the kitchen for a little bit of experimenting. Apples and sweet potatoes together? Who knew? Carrots with grapes? Okay. I may not be Julia Child, but I can do pretty well with a simple recipe and a lot of enthusiasm Picture Quote #1

I was an educated girl. I’d done very well in school. I had a good point average and graduated from USC as an English teacher. My dad didn’t even finish high school Picture Quote #1

One of the best parts of Thanksgiving for me is re-watching some of the classic holiday blunders that have been depicted on television. I remember laughing uncontrollably on the set of ‘That Girl’ back in 1967 when we shot the episode, ‘Thanksgiving Comes But Once A Year, Hopefully’ during our second season Picture Quote #1

When I look back at those pictures of my mother performing - and listen to her recordings - it makes me sad to think that all of that joy she found in her work came to an end. I wish she hadn’t had to make that sacrifice, even if it was for the benefit of my father and siblings and me Picture Quote #1

I am extremely grateful for two big gifts from my father. First, my sense of humor - the ability to see the humor in something while it is happening. That has cushioned my life. I am also grateful for the work of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. It has enriched my life and made me a very different person Picture Quote #1

If you really need to, you have to make it happen Picture Quote #1

What I’m loving about Hilary Clinton is that she has the job that’s been held mostly by men. She’s made it her job, not only to be a very tactful diplomat, but she travels the world, spotlighting what’s going on with girls and women, in every country that she goes to. That has been so unique Picture Quote #1

Despite our ever-connective technology, neither Skype nor Facebook - not even a telephone call - can come close to the joy of being with loved ones in person Picture Quote #1

Small steps can help people make big changes to achieve what they really desire. That wish isn’t going to go anywhere unless you do something about it. Every day, just do one thing. At the end of six months, you’ll be somewhere Picture Quote #1

Our many different cultures notwithstanding, there’s something about the holidays that makes the planet communal. Even nations that do not celebrate Christmas can’t help but be caught up in the collective spirit of their neighbors, as twinkling lights dot the landscape and carols fill the air. It’s an inspiring time of the year Picture Quote #1

People don’t want to be bothered, if they’re not being pressured to change. You have to push people. You have to be the agitator that makes the pearl Picture Quote #1

Be who you are. Otherwise, you end up committing suicide. You end up marrying people when you shouldn’t be marrying them and having terrible, secret lives Picture Quote #1

You really do learn by example... Especially women, sometimes we think somebody’s going to rescue us, or somebody’s going to teach us how to do it, when in fact we have to understand that the biggest resource we have is inside of ourselves. I know that I can count on me to take care of me. That’s a very important thing to know Picture Quote #1

That is the difference between St. Jude’s and all other children’s hospitals. The other hospitals are not bad at all; they’re good hospitals, but they’re just working with what they know, and St. Jude’s is working with what nobody else knows, because they’re doing research Picture Quote #1

I realize now that I was a feminist and the minute I heard the word I certainly knew it meant me, but at that time I don’t think we had the label yet. But there’s no doubt about it that I was born a feminist Picture Quote #1

One of the many reasons I love living in New York is that we get a front row seat to the innumerable thrills that take place here - from conventions and awards shows, to parades and U.N. assemblies. But my favorite New York tradition is the annual New Year’s Eve ball-drop on Times Square Picture Quote #1

Where will I be five years from now? I delight in not knowing. That’s one of the greatest things about life its wonderful surprises Picture Quote #1

I don’t think homosexuality is a choice. Society forces you to think it’s a choice, but in fact, it’s in one’s nature. The choice is whether one expresses one’s nature truthfully or spends the rest of one’s life lying about it Picture Quote #1

If you want to get somewhere in six months, you’re not going to get there by wishing it Picture Quote #1
