“Women attribute their success to working hard, luck, and help from other people. Men will attribute that – whatever success they have, that same success – to their own core skills.”

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.

A truly equal world would be one where women ran half our countries and companies and men ran half our homes.

Women need to shift form thinking “I’m not ready to do that” to thinking “I want to do that- and I’ll learn by doing it.

When you want to change things, you won’t please everyone.

Most people assume that women are responsible for households and child care. Most couples operate that way – not all. That fundamental assumption holds women back.

Everyone knows that marriage is the biggest personal decision you make, but it’s the biggest career decision you can make.

Women systematically underestimate their own abilities.

When you’re more valuable, the people around you will do more to make it work.

When it comes time to settle down, find someone who wants an equal partner. Someone who thinks women should be smart, opinionated, and ambitious.

It’s time to cheer on girls and women who want to sit at the table.

When people are really suffering, and we know they’re suffering, that question can be a very difficult one. Inadvertently, I think without anyone meaning it, it communicates a lack of empathy.

The gender stereotypes introduced in childhood are reinforced throughout our lives and become self-fulfilling prophesies. Most leadership positions are held by men, so women don’t expect to achieve them, and that becomes one of the reasons they don’t.

We need women at all levels, including the top, to change the dynamic, reshape the conversation, to make sure women’s voices are heard and heeded, not overlooked and ignored.

Leaders should strive for authenticity over perfection.

The time is long overdue to encourage more women to dream the possible dream.

The No. 1 impediment to women succeeding in the workforce is now in the home.

It is one of the enjoyments of retirement that you are able to drift through the day at your own pace, easy in the knowledge that you have put hard work and achievement behind you.

Great peace is found in little busy-ness.

Hearts are not had as a gift, But hearts are earned.

You look back and see how hard you worked and how poor you were, and how desperately anxious you were to succeed, and all you can remember is how happy you were.

Luck is a dividend of sweat.

The difference between something good and something great is attention to detail.

A man can make what he wants of himself if he truly believes that he must be ready for hard work and many heartbreaks.

Hard work beats all the tonics and vitamins in the world.
