GREAT QUOTES BY GREAT WOMEN


Inside every older lady is a younger lady -- wondering what the hell happened.

-Cora Harvey Armstrong-


Inside me lives a skinny woman crying to get out. But I can usually shut her up with cookies.



The hardest years in life are those between ten and seventy.

-Helen Hayes (at 73)-


I refuse to think of them as chin hairs. I think of them as stray eyebrows.

-Janette Barber-


Things are going to get a lot worse before they get worse.

-Lily Tomlin-


A male gynecologist is like an auto mechanic who never owned a car.

-Carrie Snow-



Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry and you cry with your girlfriends.

-Laurie Kuslansky-



My second favorite household chore is ironing. My first being, hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint.

-Erma Bombeck-



Old age ain't no place for sissies.

-Bette Davis-



A man's got to do what a man's got to do. A woman must do what he can't.

-Rhonda Hansome-



The phrase "working mother" is redundant.

-Jane Sellman-



Every time I close the door on reality, it comes in through the windows.

-Jennifer Unlimited-



Whatever women must do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good.

Luckily, this is not difficult.

-Charlotte Whitton-



Thirty-five is when you finally get your head together and your body starts falling apart.

-Caryn Leschen-



I try to take one day at a time -- but sometimes several days attack me at once.

-Jennifer Unlimited-



If you can't be a good example -- then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.

-Catherine-



When I was young, I was put in a school for retarded kids for two years before they realized I actually had a hearing loss. And they called ME slow!

-Kathy Buckley-



I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb –

and I'm also not blonde.

-Dolly Parton-



If high heels were so wonderful, men would still be wearing them.

-Sue Grafton-


I'm not going to vacuum 'til Sears makes one you can ride on.

-Roseanne Barr-



When women are depressed they either eat or go shopping. Men invade another country..

-Elayne Boosler-



Behind every successful man is a surprised woman.

-Maryon Pearson-


In politics, if you want anything said, ask a man. If you want anything done, ask a woman.

-Margaret Thatcher-



I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a career!
-Gloria Steinem-



Nobody can make you feel inferior without your permission.

-Eleanor Roosevelt-
