If old age means a crown of thorns, the trick is to wear it jauntily.
Clare Boothe Luce
If men had to bear babies, there'd never be more than one child in a family.
Clare Boothe Luce
Rich women are not too put upon by their children. You don't have to do all the things for a child that those women who had to stay at home did. My Ann had a French governess who took care of her until she was twelve years old and went off to boarding school.
Clare Boothe Luce
[In politics] no good deed goes unpunished
Clare Boothe Luce
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
A man's home may seem to be his castle on the outside inside is more often his nursery.
Clare Boothe Luce
There are no hopeless situations there are only men who have grown hopeless about them.
Clare Boothe Luce

Clare Boothe Luce
You see few people here in America who really care very much about living a Christian life in a democratic world.
Clare Boothe Luce
I have never met a man [in the military], in or out of uniform, who ever said, Let's use the missiles. They are even more terrified that the Bishops, because a great many of them don't expect to go to Heaven, which at least the Bishops do.
Clare Boothe Luce
the only time travelers are really gay is when they are traveling for no good reason at all.
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
They say that women talk too much. If you have worked in Congress you know that the filibuster was invented by men.
Clare Boothe Luce
I am for lifting everyone off the social bottom. In fact, I am for doing away with the social bottom altogether.
