"Women cannot receive even the most palpably..." - Quote by Mark Twain

“Monarchies, aristocracies, and religions are all based upon that large defect in your race - the individual's distrust of his neighbor, and his desire, for safety's or comfort's sake, to stand well in his neighbor's eye. These institutions will always remain, and always flourish, and always oppress you, affront you, and degrade you, because you will always be and remain slaves of minorities. There was never a country where the majority of the people were in their secret hearts loyal to any of these institutions.”

“It is no harm to be an ass, if one is content to bray and not kick.”

“It takes some little time to accept and realize the fact that while you have been growing old, your friends have not been standing still, in that matter.”

“A woman needs someone she can trust, someone who laughs when she laughs, but who has different ideas so she can learn from and teach to them. She needs someone who will stand up with her and encourage her to be a woman-not just a female. See where you are, admit what you know, and what you need, and search for a sister friend.”

“Women, as most susceptible, are the best index of the coming hour.”

“Arthur Miller wouldn't have married me if I had been nothing but a dumb blonde.”

“In love and friendship, small, steady payments on a gold basis are better than immense promissory notes.”

“People that marry can never part, but must go and keep house together. People that dance only stand opposite each other in a long room for half an hour.”

“A smile is your greatest social asset.”
