More quotes by 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

Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, 'She doesn't have what it takes' They will say, 'Women don't have what it takes.'
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
