“So there’s no such thing as work-life balance. There’s work, and there’s life, and there’s no balance.”

Next time you’re about to call your daughter bossy, take a deep breath and say, ‘My daughter has executive leadership skills.’

Give us a world where half our homes are run by men and half our institutions are run by women. I’m pretty sure that would be a better world.

When looking for a life partner, my advice to women is date all of them: the bad boys, the cool boys, the commitment-phobic boys, the crazy boys. But do not marry them. The things that make the bad boys sexy do not make them good husbands.

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.

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.

What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.

Is this still worth doing? And if it isn’t, he gets rid of it so as to be able to concentrate on the few tasks that, if done with excellence, will really make a difference in the results of his own job and in the performance of his organization.

Each one of us matters, has a role to play, and makes a difference. Each one of us must take responsibility for our own lives, and above all, show respect and love for living things around us, especially each other.

The fact is always obvious much too late, but the most singular difference between happiness and joy is that happiness is a solid and joy a liquid.

An education isn’t how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It’s being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don’t.

The eternal difference between right and wrong does not fluctuate, it is immutable.

The only difference between Hitler and Bush is that Hitler was elected.

I want to make a difference.
