More quotes by Clare Boothe Luce
If you ever manage to make a fool of me, I'll deserve what I get.
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
[In politics] no good deed goes unpunished
Clare Boothe Luce
You know, that's the only good thing about divorce you get to sleep with your mother.
Clare Boothe Luce

Clare Boothe Luce
Guns know no policy except destruction.
Clare Boothe Luce
Courage is the ladder on which all the other virtues mount.
Clare Boothe Luce
If men had to bear babies, there'd never be more than one child in a family.
Clare Boothe Luce
There are no hopeless situations there are only men who have grown hopeless about them.
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
the only time travelers are really gay is when they are traveling for no good reason at all.
Clare Boothe Luce
I am for lifting everyone off the social bottom. In fact, I am for doing away with the social bottom altogether.
Clare Boothe Luce
