When I went to college, as much as my parents emphasized academic achievement, they emphasized marriage even more. They told me that the most eligible women marry young to get a 'good man' before they are all taken.

More quotes by Sheryl Sandberg
We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change.
Sheryl Sandberg
Communication starts with the understanding that there is my point of view (my truth) and someone else's point of view (his truth). Rarely is there one absolute truth, so people who believe that they speak the truth are very silencing of others.
Sheryl Sandberg
Until women are as ambitious as men, they're not gong to achieve as much as men.
Sheryl Sandberg
I want my daughter to have the choice not just to succeed, but to be liked for her accomplishments.
Sheryl Sandberg
But the upside of painful knowledge is so much greater than the downside of blissful ignorance.
Sheryl Sandberg
Let's acknowledge that men reach for opportunities more quickly and more easily than women. So often as managers, we give the job to whoever starts solving the problem, to whoever jumps in. Since we know men will jump in faster than women in so many circumstances, we have to slow down and encourage more women to sit at more tables.
Sheryl Sandberg
I wish I could just go tell all the young women I work with, all these fabulous women, 'Believe in yourself and negotiate for yourself. Own your own success.' I wish I could tell that to my daughter. But it's not that simple.
Sheryl Sandberg
It's more pressure on women to - if they marry or partner with someone, to partner with the right person. Because you cannot have a full career and a full life at home with your children if you are also doing all of the housework and child care.
Sheryl Sandberg
No one gets to the top, if they sit on the sidelines, or if they don't believe in themselves.
Sheryl Sandberg
Trying to do it all and expecting that it all can be done exactly right is a recipe for disappointment. Perfection is the enemy.
Sheryl Sandberg
I probably shouldn't admit this since I work in the tech industry, but I still prefer reading paper books.
Sheryl Sandberg
Your life's course will not be determined by doing the things that you are certain you can do. Those are the easy things. It will be determined by whether you try the things that are hard.
Sheryl Sandberg
The most important career decision you'll make is who your life partner is.
Sheryl Sandberg
I think now is our time. My mother was told by everyone that she had two choices: She could be a nurse or a teacher. The external barriers now are just so much lower. If we start acknowledging what the real issues are, we can solve them. It's not that hard.
Sheryl Sandberg
The best decision I ever made was to marry Dave.
Sheryl Sandberg
Being confident and believing in your own self-worth is necessary to achieving your potential.
Sheryl Sandberg
I tell people in their careers, 'Look for growth. Look for the teams that are growing quickly. Look for the companies that are doing well. Look for a place where you feel that you can have a lot of impact.'
Sheryl Sandberg
We can each define ambition and progress for ourselves. The goal is to work toward a world where expectations are not set by the stereotypes that hold us back, but by our personal passion, talents and interests.
Sheryl Sandberg
It's easy to dislike the few senior women out there. What if women were half the positions in power? It would be harder to dislike all of them.
Sheryl Sandberg
I know from my own experience that the path to change is best traveled when we travel together.
Sheryl Sandberg
