    Default Women Quotes

    A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform. - Diane Mariechild


    Woman must not accept; she must challenge. She must not be awed by that which has been built up around her; she must reverence that woman in her which struggles for expression.
    - Margaret Sanger


    You must learn to be still in the midst of activity and to be vibrantly alive in repose. - Indira Gandhi


    We must remember that unless and until women are given their rightful place, no society or country can progress. -- Prime Minister IK Gujral

    When a woman comes to her glass, she does not employ her time in making herself look more advantageously what she really is, but endeavors to be as much another creature as she possibly can. Whether this happens because they stay so long and attend their work so diligently that they forget the faces and persons which they first sat down with, or whatever it is, they seldom rise from the toilet the same woman they appeared when they began to dress -Joseph Addison

    The women who participate in and lead ecology movements in countries like India are not speaking merely as victims. Their voices are the voices of liberation and transformation. The women?s and ecology movements are therefore one, and are primarily counter-trends to a patriarchal maldevelopment. -- Vandana Shiva


    Hunger is not just malnutrition. Hunger is rape, molestation, alcoholism, dowry, female infanticide and Female foetacide. - Mohini Giri

    Woman is the companion of man, gifted with equal mental capacities. She has the right to participate in very minutest detail in the activities of man and she has an equal right of freedom and liberty with him. -- M K Gandhi, 1933

    There never will be complete equality until women themselves help to make laws and elect lawmakers. — Susan B. Anthony

    Where there are no women there are no good manners - Johann Goethe

    In the Vedas and Upanishads, women taught the highest truths and received the same veneration as men. - Swami Vivekananda

    A noble man is led far by a woman's gentle words - Von Goethe

    Men make roads; but it is the women who teach children how to walk on them - French Proverb

    Women reason with the heart and are much less often wrong than men who reason with the head. - De Lescure

    Without woman the beginning of our life would be helpless, the middle without pleasure, and the end without consolation. - DE Jouy

    A woman's guess is more accurate than a man's certainty - Rudyard Kipling

    The beauty of a woman should be defined by the love in her heart, the richness of her soul, and the strength of her mind. Women want gentleness in a man’s voice and when touched they want to be gently touched. Women want sweetness from a man’s heart and compassion from a man’s soul. A man who can see will understand, respect, and cherish the beauty of all women, loving a woman unconditionally. - Lee Held

    Wherever women are honored, there the gods are pleased - The Code of Manu ( Manuscripts )

    Across the curve of the earth, there are women getting up before dawn, in the blackness before the point of light, in the twilight before sunrise; there are women rising earlier than men and children to break the ice, to start the stove, to put up the pap, the coffee, the rice, to iron the pants, to braid the hair, to pull the day's water up from the well, to boil water for tea, to wash the children for school, to pull the vegetables and start the walk to market, to run to catch the bus for the work that is paid. I don't know when most women sleep!! ~Adrienne Rich
