If old age means a crown of thorns, the trick is to wear it jauntily.
Clare Boothe Luce
[In politics] no good deed goes unpunished
Clare Boothe Luce
In the final analysis there is no other solution to man's progress but the day's honest work, the day's honest decision, the day's generous utterances, and the day's good deed.
Clare Boothe Luce
If you ever manage to make a fool of me, I'll deserve what I get.
Clare Boothe Luce

Clare Boothe Luce
Communism is the opiate of the intellectuals.
Clare Boothe Luce
I wish I were a virgin again. The only fun I ever had was holding out.
Clare Boothe Luce
all history shows that the hand that cradles the rock has ruled the world, not the hand that rocks the cradle!
Clare Boothe Luce
Lying increases the creative faculties, expands the ego, lessens the friction of social contacts. . . . It is only in lies, wholeheartedly and bravely told, that human nature attains through words and speech the forebearance, the nobility, the romance, the idealism, that-being what it is-it falls so short of in fact and in deed.
Clare Boothe Luce
Technological man can't believe in anything that can't be measured, taped, or put into a computer.
Clare Boothe Luce
If men had to bear babies, there'd never be more than one child in a family.
Clare Boothe Luce
I don't think my position unusual for a woman. I'm following a perfectly natural urge to do what I like.
