Clare Boothe Luce
Courage is the ladder on which all the other virtues mount.

Rome is the city above all cities which loses most of its meaning to those who do not bring to it some historical sense, a decent knowledge of art, and a good amount of time. Rome therefore is particularly disturbing to an American.

Time comes when every man's got to feel something new--when he's got to feel young again, just because he's growing old. Women are just the same. But when we get that way we change our hairdress. Or get a new cook.
Clare Boothe Luce
[On Vice-President Henry A. Wallace:] Much of what Mr. Wallace calls his global thinking is, no matter how you slice it, still globaloney.
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
Remember, whenever a Republican leaves one side of the aisle and goes to the other, it raises the intelligence quotient of both parties.
Clare Boothe Luce
A man's home may seem to be his castle on the outside inside is more often his nursery.
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
Women can't have an honest exchange in front of men without having it called a cat fight.
