I think that women are peacemakers by genetics, because we are the ones who stay at home and because we are the ones who suffer with the aftermath of war.

I think, regardless of gender, women and men need to be brave, take chances with their work, and be open to feedback. But I do think 'politeness' is an issue that can hinder your work if you aren't careful. Kindness is important, but being overly polite - thinking you can't disagree with someone about your own work - be careful about that.

The push for 'Meatless Mondays' in our military is misguided at best and goes against dietary guidelines. Our men and women in uniform should have the option to consume the protein they need, including meat, on a daily basis.

Women don't realize how powerful they are.

I see courage everywhere I go in Africa. Fearless human rights activists in Darfur. Women peace advocates in eastern Congo. Former child soldiers in Northern Uganda who now are helping other former child soldiers return to civilian life.

Women like men who listen. We have two ears and one mouth, so we should listen twice as much as we speak.

Women have got to make the world safe for men since men have made it so darned unsafe for women.

This man is frank and earnest with women. In Fresno, he's Frank and in Chicago he's Ernest.

Women want mediocre men, and men are working to be as mediocre as possible.

I think the Women's movement has had a major impact on everybody's lives in our nation and in the world as a whole.

I would go out with women my age, but there are no women my age.

Wives are young men's mistresses, companions for middle age, and old men's nurses.

Men become much more attractive when they start looking older. But it doesn't do much for women, though we do have an advantage: make-up.

On the whole, I think women wear too much and are to fussy. You can't see the person for all the clutter.

When the women's liberation movement began, when people began protesting against the Vietnam War, civil rights movement, at the beginning of those movements, the majority of the country was not with them, did not believe in the basic principles of any of those philosophies.

There are few virtuous women who are not bored with their trade.

Women of all classes are awakening to the necessity of self-support, but few are willing to do the ordinary useful work for which they are fitted.

The Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women's emancipation.

I think women like Ferraris. A Ferrari is everybody's car.

Women, can't live with them, can't live without them.

What has the women's movement learned from Geraldine Ferraro's candidacy for vice president? Never get married.

I want to help correct the inaccurate image of immigration in the media. There is an idea that women's issues are over here and immigration is over there. Three quarters of undocumented workers are women and children.

In too many instances, the march to globalization has also meant the marginalization of women and girls. And that must change.

If women feel they are able to go from partner to partner without feeling emotionally invested and ultimately hurt, they should go for it.

Emancipation of women has made them lose their mystery.

Black women are the strongest most hardworking people on earth.

A man who graduated high in his class at Yale Law School and made partnership in a top law firm would be celebrated. A man who invested wisely would be admired, but a woman who accomplishes this is treated with suspicion.

Women in love are less ashamed than men. They have less to be ashamed of.

After all those years as a woman hearing 'not thin enough, not pretty enough, not smart enough, not this enough, not that enough,' almost overnight I woke up one morning and thought, 'I'm enough.'

I used to be scared of women. When I was very young they terrified me, but discovering the female universe was incredible and still is to this day, as you never stop learning about them.

I love women. I mean, I'm married, but I used to get in all kinds of trouble.

Charm, in most men and nearly all women, is a decoration.

Women don't take enough risks. Men are just 'foot on the gas pedal.' We're not going to close the achievement gap until we close the ambition gap.

Just as incarceration has come to define the lives of low-income black men, eviction is defining the lives of low-income black women.

It is easy to see what many people, women especially, admire about Sarah Palin. Here is a mother of five who can see the bright side of having a child with Down syndrome and still find the time and energy to govern the state of Alaska.

Having Black hair is unique in that Black women change up styles a lot. You can walk down one street block in New York City and see 10 different hairstyles that Black women are wearing: straight curls, short cuts, braids - we really run the gamut.

L. A. is crazy. The women all look the same now. That thing with the cheeks. Like Madonna. Who do they think they're fooling? It doesn't make them look young. You end up looking like a freak.

I have a lot of amazing women, you know, women in my life who have been an example for me of what not to do.

I am my own woman.

I don't even know what my natural colour is. Natural? What is natural? What is that? I do not believe in totally natural for women. For me, natural has something to do with vegetables.

Women like to sit down with trouble - as if it were knitting.

The best advice I can give women at all levels is increase training. There are still areas where we have to break through that glass ceiling.

The young people I work with every day and serve the nation in the armed forces in general, and the Marine Corps in particular, have broken the mold and stepped out as men and women of character who are making their own way in life while protecting ours.

Men are very emotionally dependent upon women from the day they are born to the day they expire.

I'm 60, and I did 60-year-old women songs. I'm not trying to be the Hip-Hop Queen, although I am the original Hip Hop Queen.

Ageing is something that both men and women are utterly terrified about.

The women's movement is taking a different form right now, and it is because it has been so effective and so successful that there's a huge counter movement to try to stop it, to try to divide women from one another, to try to almost foment divisiveness.

Now I can give back and be a role model and an advocate for women in sport.

People don't know how fantastic women's ice hockey is. People don't know how fantastic hockey is in general.

When our world is telling girls and women who they should be or what they should look like, it is critical that we empower those girls and young women to be confident with who they are.
