Clare Boothe Luce
Courage is the ladder on which all the other virtues mount.
Clare Boothe Luce
Bombs know no ism but barbarism. The laws that successfully govern a peaceful and democratic society do not interfere with the only law bombs know, which is the law of gravity.
Clare Boothe Luce

Clare Boothe Luce
Technological man can't believe in anything that can't be measured, taped, or put into a computer.
Clare Boothe Luce
A great man is one sentence.
Clare Boothe Luce
Lying increases the creative faculties, expands the ego, lessens the friction of social contacts. . . .

Clare Boothe Luce
I don't have any warm personal enemies. All the SOBs have died.
Clare Boothe Luce
