Women are never disarmed by compliments. Men always are. That is the difference between the sexes.

Everyone likes flattery; and when you come to Royalty you should lay it on with a trowel.

My decision to register women confirms what is already obvious throughout our society-that women are now providing all types of skills in every profession. The military should be no exception.

When I was in college my girl got me a job at the doctor’s office she was working at. I was a file clerk. No disrespect but I don’t think a man can do that job. It takes so much meticulous and precise file-keeping.

Although a skillful flatterer is a most delightful companion if you have him all to yourself, his taste becomes very doubtful when he takes to complimenting other people.

My mother was a dominant force in our family. And I always saw her as the leader. And that was great for me as a young woman, because I never saw that women had to be dominated by men.

Everybody likes a compliment.

I definitely feel closer to the feminine side of the human being than I do the male – or the American idea of what a male is supposed to be. Just watch a beer commercial and you’ll see what I mean.

What’s with you men? Would hair stop growing on your chest if you asked directions somewhere?

Aviation, this young modern giant, exemplifies the possible relationship of women and the creations of science. Although women have not taken full advantage of its use and benefits, air travel is as available to them as to men.

Boys will be boys. And even that wouldn’t matter if only we could prevent girls from being girls.

In our society, the women who break down barriers are those who ignore limits.

Compliment three people every day.

Girls shouldn’t worry about being the equal of men in the business world.

Women must tell men always that they are the strong ones. They are the big, the strong, the wonderful. In truth, women are the strong ones. It is just my opinion, I am not a professor.

I really think that there was a great advantage in many ways to being a woman. I think we are a lot better at personal relationships, and then have the capability obviously of telling it like it is when it’s necessary.

The woman who can create her own job is the woman who will win fame and fortune.

Well I do think, when there are more women, that the tone of the conversation changes, and also the goals of the conversation change. But it doesn’t mean that the whole world would be a lot better if it were totally run by women. If you think that, you’ve forgotten high school.

A gender line… helps to keep women not on a pedestal, but in a cage.

I’m a woman, and anytime you tell a woman that she looks nice, it’s not going to upset her.

Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.

Even before I went to the UN, I often would want to say something in a meeting – only woman at the table – and I’d think, ‚OK well, I don’t think I’ll say that. It may sound stupid.‘ And then some man says it, and everybody thinks it’s completely brilliant, and you are so mad at yourself for not saying something.

Women prefer to talk in twos, while men prefer to talk in threes.

Men are by nature merely indifferent to one another; but women are by nature enemies.

All women have a perception much more developed than men. So all women somehow, being repressed for so many millennia, they ended up by developing this sixth sense and contemplation and love. And this is something that we have a hard time to accept as part of our society.

Men and women aren’t the same. And they won’t be the same. That doesn’t mean that they can’t be treated fairly.

I always say that women should wear whatever makes them feel good about themselves. That’s what I always try to do.

Be generous with kindly words, especially about those who are absent.

Women have served all these centuries as looking glasses possessing the power of reflecting the figure of man at twice its natural size.

Maybe if everybody in leadership was a woman, you might not get into the conflicts in the first place. But if you watch the women who have made it to the top, they haven’t exactly been non-aggressive – including me.

Women’s liberation is just a lot of foolishness. It’s men who are discriminated against. They can’t bear children. And no one is likely to do anything about that.

I can live for two months on a good compliment.

Women are nothing but machines for producing children.

That’s all I could ever hope for, to have a positive effect on women. ‚Cos women are powerful, powerful beings. But they’re also the most doubtful beings. They’ll never know – we’ll never know – how powerful we are.

Girls talk to each other like men talk to each other. But girls have an eye for detail.

I always thought that there was nothing an antifeminist would want more than to have women only in women’s organizations, in their own little corner empathizing with each other and not touching a man’s world.

There are a number of women who have brought about immense change in society.

Man is always looking for someone to boast to; woman is always looking for a shoulder to put her head on.

I have been complimented many times and they always embarrass me; I always feel that they have not said enough.

Living in America and, of course, just being women in general, we’ve got more strength than we think we do.

People don’t usually compliment your character.

I think women want freedom. They want to be empowered. They want hope. They want love; they want all the things that I want, and I’m not afraid to say those things and act on them, and I think that’s why they identify with me.

My mother told me two things constantly. One was to be a lady and the other was to be independent, and the law was something most unusual for those times because for most girls growing up in the ’40s, the most important degree was not your B.A. but your M.R.S.

A woman will doubt everything you say except it be compliments to herself.

I’m always rather nervous about how you talk about women who are active in politics, whether they want to be talked about as women or as politicians.

I remember being in Japan when Destiny’s Child put out ‚Independent Women,‘ and women there were saying how proud they were to have their own jobs, their own independent thinking, their own goals. It made me feel so good, and I realized that one of my responsibilities was to inspire women in a deeper way.

There’s very little advice in men’s magazines, because men don’t think there’s a lot they don’t know. Women do. Women want to learn. Men think, ‚I know what I’m doing, just show me somebody naked.‘

Generally speaking, men are held in great esteem in all parts of the world, so why shouldn’t women have their share? Soldiers and war heroes are honored and commemorated, explorers are granted immortal fame, martyrs are revered, but how many people look upon women too as soldiers?

We need women who are devoted to shepherding God’s children along the covenant path toward exaltation; women who know how to receive personal revelation, who understand the power and peace of the temple endowment; women who know how to call upon the powers of heaven to protect and strengthen children and families; women who teach fearlessly.

Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.

Women have to summon up courage to fulfill dormant dreams.

I’ve always had a problem with the average macho man – they’ve always been a threat to me.

A man is more frank and sincere with his emotions than a woman. We girls, I’m afraid, have a tendency to hide our feelings.

Y’all are so cute and y’all talk so proper over here. I love England.

Women may fall when there’s no strength in men.

The women of my generation and my daughter’s generation, they were very active in moving along the social change that would result in equal citizenship stature for men and women.

If we do not lift up women and families, everyone will fall short.

We as women, we have to understand that we know more, just even instinctively, than we think we do.

Hillary Clinton will always be there for you. And just remember – there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other.

Tell your wife often how terrific she looks.

You can say, ‚Well, isn’t it unfortunate that chaos is represented by the feminine‘ – well, it might be unfortunate, but it doesn’t matter, because that is how it’s represented. It’s been represented like that forever. And there are reasons for it. You can’t change it. It’s not possible. This is underneath everything.
