No one warns young people to follow Adam’s example. He waited till God saw his need. Then God made Adam sleep, prepared for his mate, and brought her to him. We need more of this ‘being asleep’ in the will of God.
I think about the milestones from my childhood and what it will be like to watch our kids go through them. Taking Riley to her first day of school was a whirlwind. I can’t imagine what middle school is going to be like, and high school, and graduation.
For all my life, I’ve been trying to tell Madam’s story and really it’s a labor of love just to make sure people know about her and the empowerment she gave to other women.
Every successful individual knows that his or her achievement depends on a community of persons working together.
I like a woman with a head on her shoulders. I hate necks.
Hope is a great falsifier. Let good judgment keep her in check.
Pretend that every single person you meet has a sign around his or her neck that says, ‘Make me feel important.’ Not only will you succeed in sales, you will succeed in life.
When Hillary served as Secretary of State, I watched her partner with President Obama to restore our country’s reputation around the world.
Neurotics complain of their illness, but they make the most of it, and when it comes to talking it away from them they will defend it like a lioness her young.
If only Queen Elizabeth II had the intellectual, political and linguistic skills of Queen Elizabeth I, many people would support giving her some of the powers of an elected president.
A few weeks before the jubilee began in 2002, Queen Elizabeth died, and the public outpouring of grief and affection, with hundreds of thousands of people queuing for hours to pass by her coffin, showed how widely and deeply loved she was.
The fashionable woman wears clothes. The clothes don’t wear her.
The babe at first feeds upon the mother’s bosom, but it is always on her heart.
Callista Gingrich has, I suspect, given Newt’s advisers a giant headache. She’s a constant presence at her husband’s side – and a constant reminder of his acknowledged infidelity. Newt cheated on his second wife with Callista, a woman 23 years his junior.
The highest patriotism is not a blind acceptance of official policy, but a love of one’s country deep enough to call her to a higher plain.
I often joke that 100 years from now I hope people are saying, ‘Dang, she looks good for her age!’
A woman is like a tea bag – you can’t tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.
Marriage is give and take. You’d better give it to her or she’ll take it anyway.
A bride at her second marriage does not wear a veil. She wants to see what she is getting.
What does it mean to love someone with all your heart? It means to love with all your emotional feelings and with all your devotion. Surely when you love your wife with all your heart, you cannot demean her, criticize her, find fault with her, or abuse her by words, sullen behavior, or actions.
Beauty ought to look a little surprised: it is the emotion that best suits her face. The beauty who does not look surprised, who accepts her position as her due – she reminds us too much of a prima donna.
My mother was always in those films where it’s the end of the world and a meteor’s about to hit London; there’s only six people left, and one of them’s in purple underwear. That was always my mother, running from this meteor in purple underwear and spraining her ankle.
The expression a woman wears on her face is far more important than the clothes she wears on her back.
Watching your daughter being collected by her date feels like handing over a million dollar Stradivarius to a gorilla.
Me and my sister made up a game called ‘Milky Cow’. We were on holiday in France when I was 12, and there was a kid who had bovine features, and every time we went past her, we’d say, ‘There’s Milky Cow’.
I like Aurora, ‘Sleeping Beauty,’ because she’s just sleeping and looking pretty and waiting for boys to come kiss her. Sounds like a good life – lots of naps and cute boys fighting dragons to come kiss you.
Artemis women often have difficult childhoods. She’s the kid who seeks comfort in the woods, or animals, or books. If trapped in an authoritarian family, she blends in to get by – but keeps a fierce autonomy inside her head and heart, looking to the day she breaks free.
Every girl loves posing in her underwear. It’s always fun to do that.
It is time we in Scotland put England in its proper place and instead of our leaning on England and taking inspiration from her, we should lean and turn to Europe, for it is there our future prosperity lies.
My most earnest prayer is that every man and every woman will get it into his or her heart that they are in very deed the architects of their lives.
When a woman puts on a heel, she has a different posture, a different attitude. She really stands up and has a consciousness of her body.
Each underestimates her own power and overestimates the other’s.
I want every Filipino woman empowered with information regarding all options available to her regarding family planning.
A girl child who is even a little bit educated is more conscious of family planning, health care and, in turn, her children’s own education.
I look at myself like a show dog. I’ve got to keep her clipped and trimmed and in good shape.
My mother made soft polenta often, and as a child, I would watch her stir until she looked like her arm would fall off.
Fire Yourself. Outsource some of your life. Because you know what won’t be cute on a tombstone? ‘Her grind was impeccable, and she did it all by herself.’
She not only kept her lovely figure, she’s added so much to it.
There is no one, says another, whom fortune does not visit once in his life; but when she does not find him ready to receive her, she walks in at the door, and flies out at the window.
I have a lady, she’s a great lady. I love her a lot, she loves me. We’re on the same page. Whenever that day happens when we’re not on the same page we’ll move forward with it. We’re interested in having our lives be our lives right now and not a third person’s vis-a-vis marriage and whatever that means.
No one who knew Diana will ever forget her. Millions of others who never met her, but felt they knew her, will remember her.
There ain’t nobody I’d rather have alongside me in a fight than my mama with a broken bottle in her hand.
I married my best friend. I was still in awe after more than four years of being around her at how smart and strong and loving and caring she was. And I really hoped that her choosing me and rejecting my advice to pursue her own career was a decision she would never regret.
If I should say anything that is not in conformity with what is held by the Holy Roman Catholic Church, it will be through ignorance and not through malice. This may be taken as certain, and also that, through God’s goodness, I am, and shall always be, as I always have been, subject to her.
My wife and I got engaged in New Hampshire at this lake house that her family’s had forever, and it’s on Lake Winnipesaukee. And so we went there every summer as we were dating.
‘The Wizard of Oz’ is my favourite. It explains what life on this planet is about. Although Dorothy reaches Oz, she finds she had what she needed to go back to Kansas all along, but the Good Witch tells her that she had to learn it for herself. All of the answers to the meaning of life are there.
A woman’s place in public is to sit beside her husband, be silent, and be sure her hat is on straight.
The soul, who is lifted by a very great and yearning desire for the honor of God and the salvation of souls, begins by exercising herself, for a certain space of time, in the ordinary virtues, remaining in the cell of self-knowledge, in order to know better the goodness of God towards her.
Upsi is definitely the more romantic of the two. I am more laid back. We do have our differences of opinion sometimes. Upsi is always the first one to break the ice after an argument or a difference of opinion. That’s what I love most about her.
Lauryn Hill might have cursed a couple of times in her music, and Missy Elliot definitely just doesn’t care. I’m really more inspired by their creativity more so than just the cursing. I’m really impressed by clean music.
Much like anyone with too much time on his or her hands, I feel as though I am the most important person on earth and everything I do is relevant. I say the most charming and inspired things when no one is around.
Diamonds – that’ll shut her up… for a minute!
Giving women education, work, the ability to control their own income, inherit and own property, benefits the society. If a woman is empowered, her children and her family will be better off. If families prosper, the village prospers, and eventually so does the whole country.
It is now for the Catholic Church to bend herself to her work with calmness and generosity. It is for you to observe her with renewed and friendly attention.
The state controlling a woman would mean denying her full autonomy and full equality.
I haven’t spoken to my wife in years. I didn’t want to interrupt her.
Everyone needs to take that time to figure out who they are. The fact that there’s no love interests in ‘Moana’ – it’s all about her – is very relatable. You don’t need another person to help you find yourself.
