More quotes by Clare Boothe Luce
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.
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
Money can't buy happiness, but it can make you awfully comfortable while you're being miserable.
Clare Boothe Luce
A great man is one sentence.
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
Autobiography is mostly alibiography.
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

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
H. L. Mencken told me once that he answered all his mail, pleasant and unpleasant, with just one line, 'You may be right.' That's the way I feel now. It is in the realm of possibility, just barely, that I could be the one who's wrong.
Clare Boothe Luce
the only time travelers are really gay is when they are traveling for no good reason at all.
Clare Boothe Luce
A man has only one escape from his old self: to see a different self in the mirror of some woman's eyes.
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
Women know what men have long forgotten. The ultimate economic and spiritual unit of any civilization is still the family.
Clare Boothe Luce
Guns know no policy except destruction.
Clare Boothe Luce
Courage is the ladder on which all the other virtues mount.
