Framing the issue of work-life balance - as if the two were dramatically opposed - practically ensures work will lose out. Who would ever choose work over life?

More quotes by Sheryl Sandberg
If you're offered a seat on a rocket ship, don't ask what seat! Just get on.
Sheryl Sandberg
No industry or country can reach its full potential until women reach their full potential. This is especially true of science and technology, where women with a surplus of talent still face a deficit of opportunity.
Sheryl Sandberg
...parents who work outside the home are still capable of giving their children a loving and secure childhood. Some data even suggest that having two parents working outside the home can be advantageous to a child's development, particularly for girls.
Sheryl Sandberg
Facebook is great for women and men. We are enormously flexible. We care a lot about great opportunities for women, we push ourselves to make things as flexible as possible.
Sheryl Sandberg
If you ask men why they did a good job, they'll say, 'I'm awesome. Obviously. Why are you even asking?' If you ask women why they did a good job, what they'll say is someone helped them, they got lucky, they worked really hard.
Sheryl Sandberg
We need to start talking about child-rearing in the workplace.
Sheryl Sandberg
The No. 1 impediment to women succeeding in the workforce is now in the home.
Sheryl Sandberg
I have a five year-old son and a three year-old daughter. I want my son to have a choice to contribute fully in the workforce or at home. And I want my daughter to have the choice to not just succeed, but to be liked for her accomplishments.
Sheryl Sandberg
The most important thing - and I've said it a hundred times and I'll say it a hundred times - if you marry a man, marry the right one.
Sheryl Sandberg
It's pretty exciting to take real people living in the real world, their opinions, and have people have to react to that. As opposed to their perceptions of what people are thinking, which are often very different.
Sheryl Sandberg
We've got to get women to sit at the table.
Sheryl Sandberg
And what I saw happening is that women don't make one decision to leave the workforce. They makes lots of little decisions really far in advance that kind of inevitably lead them there.
Sheryl Sandberg
We need to talk more openly about mentorships and sponsorships. Women don't get the mentoring, and particularly the sponsors, they need to succeed as much as men.
Sheryl Sandberg
Women don't take enough risks. Men are just 'foot on the gas pedal.' We're not going to close the achievement gap until we close the ambition gap.
Sheryl Sandberg
The more women help one another, the more we help ourselves. Acting like a coalition truly does produce results. Any coalition of support must also include men, many of whom care about gender inequality as much as women do.
Sheryl Sandberg
A woman, if you're Most Intelligent or Most Likely to Succeed, that's an embarrassing thing. Or something that's not considered attractive, and I think that's what we need to change.
Sheryl Sandberg
Women are not making it to the top. A hundred and ninety heads of state nine are women. Of all the people in parliament in the world, thirteen per cent are women. In the corporate sector, women at the top - C-level jobs, board seats - tops out at fifteen, sixteen per cent.
Sheryl Sandberg
Nobody can succeed on their own.
Sheryl Sandberg
There is no such thing as work-life balance. There is work, there is life, and there is no balance.
Sheryl Sandberg
I had heard that when people lost people, there was anger. But I definitely experienced it a lot more than I was prepared for it. Anger was not something I'd ever really felt in my life and I was not prepared for it.
Sheryl Sandberg
