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

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.

Someone who values fairness and expects or, even better, wants to do his share in the home. These men exist and, trust me, over time, nothing is sexier.

If you do please everyone, you are not making enough progress.

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.

Being confident and believing in your own self-worth is necessary to achieving your potential.

Everyone needs to get more comfortable with female leaders-including female leaders themselves.

Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.

Build your skills, not your resume.

I’m a feminist because I believe in women, it’s a heavy word, feminism, but it’s not one I think we should run from. I’m proud to be a feminist.

Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence.

And anyway, who wears a tiara on a jungle gym?

Motivation comes from working on things we care about. It also comes from working with people we care about.

I go around the room and ask people, ‘What do you think?’

The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything.

That was a difference between black slaves and white indentured servants. Black slaves were usually not allowed to keep their names, but were given new names by their owners.

You know the difference between a tornado and divorce in the south? Nothing! Someone is losing a trailer.

I think that there’s a difference between getting your heart broken and getting let down.

There are three classes of people: those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see.

We must find time to stop and thank the people who make a difference in our lives.

Difference of opinion is advantageous in religion. The several sects perform the office of a Censor morum over each other.

If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.
