- Synonym of Monroe Doctrine: the United States policy opposing European colonialism in the Americas beginning in 1823.
- An amusing, playfully naive remark by American actress Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962).“Of her favorite “number by Beethoven”—“I'm afraid I'm not very good at numbers.” Of her admiration for the Renaissance—“Of course, if I had lived in the Renaissance, I would be dead now.” Such Monroeisms prompt Mr. Zolotow to remind us of Punch’s quip: “Timon is a girl’s best friend.””
