A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.

It would be as wise to set up an accomplished lawyer to saw wood as a business as to condemn an educated and sensible woman to spend all her time boiling potatoes and patching old garments. Yet this is the lot of many a one who incessantly stitches and boils and bakes, compelled to thrust back out of sight the aspirations which fill her soul.

Despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, I have not been able to answer... the great question that has never been answered: what does a woman want?

"A house does not need a wife any more than it needs a husband."

The original necessity for the ceaseless presence of the woman to maintain the altar fire -- and it was an altar fire in very truth at one period -- has passed with the means of prompt ignition; the matchbox has freed the housewife from that incessant service, but the feeling that women should stay at home is with us yet.

Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.

A woman has the age she deserves.

A little more matriarchy is what the world needs, and I know it. Period. Paragraph.

 Campaign behavior for wives: Always be on time. Do as little talking as humanly possible. Lean back in the parade car so everybody can see the president.

Women need not always keep their mouths shut and their wombs open.

We've got a generation now who were born with semiequality. They don't know how it was before, so they think, this isn't too bad. We're working. We have our attache' cases and our three piece suits. I get very disgusted with the younger generation of women. We had a torch to pass, and they are just sitting there. They don't realize it can be taken away. Things are going to have to get worse before they join in fighting the battle.

Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but she did it backwards and in high heels.

Here's all you have to know about men and women: women are crazy, men are stupid. And the main reason women are crazy is that men are stupid.

The loneliest woman in the world is a woman without a close woman friend.

Friends are generally of the same sex, for when men and women agree, it is only in the conclusions; their reasons are always different.

If women are supposed to be less rational and more emotional at the beginning of our menstrual cycle when the female hormone is at its lowest level, then why isn't it logical to say that, in those few days, women behave the most like the way men behave all month long?

So much has been said and sung of beautiful young girls, why don't somebody wake up to the beauty of old women?

I am a woman above everything else.
