Men mourn for what they have lost; women for what they ain't got.

Women Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Women

1.
The most important thing in a relationship between a man and a woman is that one of them must be good at taking orders.
Festa, Linda

2.
Woman -- for example, look at her case! She turns tantalizing inviting glances on you. You seize her. No sooner does she feel herself in your grasp than she closes her eyes. It is a sign of her mission, the sign by which she says to man: Blind yourself, for I am blind.
Pirandello, Luigi

3.
It's only women who are not really quite women at all, frivolous women who have no idea, who neglect repairs.
Duras, Marguerite

4.
I have no hesitation in saying that although the American woman never leaves her domestic sphere and is in some respects very dependent within it, nowhere does she enjoy a higher station. And if anyone asks me what I think the chief cause of the extraordinary prosperity and growing power of this nation, I should answer that it is due to the superiority of their women.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

5.
Femininity appears to be one of those pivotal qualities that is so important no one can define it.
Bird, Caroline

6.
The female of the genus homo is economically dependent on the male. He is her food supply.
Gillman, Charlotte P.

7.
Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail their failure must be but a challenge to others.
Earhart, Amelia

8.
If it were not somewhat fanciful to suppose that every human excellence is presented, as it were, in one kind of being, we might believe that the whole treasure of morality and order is enshrined in the female character.
Humboldt, Karl Wilhelm Von

9.
When men and woman die, as poets sung, his heart's the last part moves, her last, the tongue.
Franklin, Benjamin

10.
It requires nothing less than a chivalric feeling to sustain a conversation with a lady.
Thoreau, Henry David

11.
A woman is a branchy tree and man a singing wind; and from her branches carelessly he takes what he can find.
Stephens, James

12.
All observations point to the fact that the intellectual woman is masculinized; in her, warm, intuitive knowledge has yielded to cold unproductive thinking.
Deutsch, Helene

13.
Women have got to make the world safe for men since men have made it so darned unsafe for women.
Astor, Lady Nancy

14.
The clich? that women, more consistently than men, turn inward for sustenance seems to mean, in practice, that women have richly defined the ways in which imagination creates possibility; possibility that society denies.
Spacks, Patricia Meyer

15.
Man weeps to think that he will die so soon; woman, that she was born so long ago.
Mencken, H. L.

16.
The cocks may crow, but it's the hen that lays the egg.
Thatcher, Margaret

17.
To be born woman is to know -- although they do not speak of it at school -- women must labor to be beautiful.
Yeats, William Butler

18.
Men mourn for what they have lost; women for what they ain't got.
Billings, Josh

19.
Nature makes woman to be won and men to win.
Curtis, George William

20.
A man's brain has a more difficult time shifting from thinking to feeling than a women's brain does.
Angelis, Barbara De

21.
Woman is the future of man. That means that the world which was once formed in man's image will now be transformed to the image of woman. The more technical and mechanical, cold and metallic it becomes, the more it will need the kind of warmth that only the woman can give it. If we want to save the world, we must adapt to the woman, let ourselves be led by the woman, let ourselves be penetrated by the Ewigweiblich, the eternally feminine!
Kundera, Milan

22.
There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifery.
Mandeville, Bernard

23.
We have now traced the history of women from Paradise to the nineteenth century and have heard nothing through the long roll of the ages but the clank of their fetters.
Wilde, Lady Jane

24.
There is simply no dignified way for a woman to live alone. Oh, she can get along financially perhaps (though not nearly as well as a man), but emotionally she is never left in peace. Her friends, her family, her fellow workers never let her forget that her husbandlessness, her childlessness -- her selfishness, in short -- is a reproach to the American way of life.
Jong, Erica

25.
If a test of civilization be sought, none can be so sure as the condition of that half of society over which the other half has power.
Martineau, Harriet

26.
The great and almost only comfort about being a woman is that one can always pretend to be more stupid than one is and no one is surprised.
Stark, Freya

27.
Give us that grand word woman once again, and let's have done with lady; one's a term full of fine force, strong, beautiful, and firm, fit for the noblest use of tongue or pen; and one's a word for lackeys.
Wilcox, Ella Wheeler

28.
If Miss means respectably unmarried, and Mrs. respectably married, then Ms. means nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
Carter, Angela

29.
The incomprehensibleness of women is an old theory, but what is that to the curious wondering observation with which wives, mothers, and sisters watch the other unreasoning animal in those moments when he has snatched the reins out of their hands, and is not to be spoken to! . It is best to let him come to, and feel his own helplessness.
Oliphant, Margaret

30.
Women lie about their age; men lie about their income.
Feather, William

31.
I don't know why women want any of the things men have when one the things that women have is men.
Chanel, Coco

32.
There are certainly are not so many men of large fortune in the world as there are of pretty woman to deserve them.
Austen, Jane

33.
Women like silent men. They think they're listening.
Archard, Marcel

34.
The white American man makes the white American woman maybe not superfluous but just a little kind of decoration. Not really important to turning around the wheels of the state. Well the black American woman has never been able to feel that way. No black American man at any time in our history in the United States has been able to feel that he didn't need that black woman right against him, shoulder to shoulder -- in that cotton field, on the auction block, in the ghetto, wherever.
Angelou, Maya

35.
For my part I distrust all generalizations about women, favorable and unfavorable, masculine and feminine, ancient and modern; all alike, I should say, result from paucity of experience.
Russell, Bertrand

36.
What Women Want: To be loved, to be listened to, to be desired, to be respected, to be needed, to be trusted, and sometimes, just to be held. What Men Want: Tickets for the world series.
Barry, Dave

37.
Women, despite the fact that nine out of ten of them go through life with a death-bed air either of snatching-the-last-moment or with martyr-resignation, do not die tomorrow -- or the next day. They have to live on to any one of many bitter ends.

38.
There are only three things to be done with a woman. You can love her, suffer for her, or turn her into literature.
Durrell, Lawrence

39.
Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.
Wilde, Oscar

40.
We women are always in danger of living too exclusively in the affections; and though our affections are perhaps the best gifts we have, we ought also to have our share of the more independent life -- some joy in things for their own sake. It is piteous to see the helplessness of some sweet women when their affections are disappointed -- because all their teaching has been, that they can only delight in study of any kind for the sake of a personal love. They have never contemplated an independent delight in ideas as an experience which they could confess without being laughed at. Yet surely women need this defense against passionate affliction even more than men.
Eliot, George

41.
Because of our social circumstances, male and female are really two cultures and their life experiences are utterly different.
Millet, Kate

42.
Every woman is like a time-zone. She is a nocturnal fragment of your journey. She brings you unflaggingly closer to the next night.
Baudrillard, Jean

43.
Just as women are afraid of receiving, men are afraid of giving.
Gray, John

44.
Men and women, women and men; it will never work.
Jong, Erica

45.
Even the wisest men make fools of themselves about women, and even the most foolish women are wise about men.
Reik, Theodor

46.
The woman is the home. That's where she used to be, and that's where she still is. You might ask me, What if a man tries to be part of the home -- will the woman let him? I answer yes. Because then he becomes one of the children.
Duras, Marguerite

47.
Women still remember the first kiss after men have forgotten the last.
Gourmont, Remy De

48.
The angel of the Family is Woman. Mother, wife, or sister, Woman is the caress of life, the soothing sweetness of affection shed over its toils, a reflection for the individual of the loving providence which watches over Humanity. In her there is treasure enough of consoling tenderness to allay every pain. Moreover for every one of us she is the initiator of the future. The mother's first kiss teaches the child love; the first holy kiss of the woman he loves teaches man hope and faith in life; and love and faith create a desire for perfection and the power of reaching towards it step by step; create the future, in short, of which the living symbol is the child, link between us and the generations to come. Through her the Family, with its divine mystery of reproduction, points to Eternity.
Mazzini, Giuseppe

49.
The trouble with some women is they get all excited about nothing, and then they marry him.
Cher

50.
A woman is like a teabag -- only in hot water do you realize how strong she is.
Reagan, Nancy
