Great quotes by great women

Here are some excellent quotes from some very wise women. I particularly like the one from Zsa Zsa Gabor, and also the one from Dolly Parton. Enjoy!

Loved em BR. :D

For class quotes from a woman, you cant go wrong with Mae West....





When I'm good I'm very good, but when I'm bad I'm better.



A hard man... is good to find



It's not the men in my life that counts -- it's the life in my men.



He who hesitates is last.



I go for two kinds of men. The kind with muscles, and the kind without.



So many men... so little time



Too much of a good thing... can be wonderful



Why don't you come on up and see me sometime.. when I've got nothin' on but the radio.



I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it.



A man in love is like a clipped coupon -- it's time to cash in.



A man in the house... is worth two in the street



Marriage is a fine institution, but I'm not ready for an institution.



It's better to be looked over, than overlooked



Give a man a free hand... and he'll run it all over you



Good sex is like good Bridge... If you don't have a good partner, you'd better have a good hand



To err is human -- but it feels divine



His mother should have thrown him away...and kept the stork



I don't like myself, I'm crazy about myself.



"Goodness, what beautiful diamonds !" Goodness had nothing to do with it, dearie



I like two kinds of men: domestic and imported



When a girl goes wrong, men go right... after her



I'm the lady who works at Paramount all day... and Fox all night.



Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?



I used to be Snow White... but I drifted



Save a boyfriend for a rainy day, and another, in case it doesn't rain



I've been rich and I've been poor... Believe me, rich is better



It's hard to be funny...when you have to be "clean"



I like my clothes to be tight enough to show I'm a woman... but loose enough to show I'm a lady.



She's the kind of girl who climbed the ladder of success... wrong by wrong



You may admire a girl's curves on the first introduction... but the second meeting shows up new angles



You can say what you like about long dresses, but they cover a multitude of shins.



Those who are easily shocked... should be shocked more often



When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried before.



You ought to get out of those wet clothes... and into a dry martini

I hate work. That's why I got married

I just want what every married woman wants, someone besides her husband to sleep with.

Behind every successful man, there`s a woman.....with a gun pointing at his book.

A man is old as old as the woman he`s feeling

Though personally I feel Groucho Marx is the funniest of the lot! (eg, "This morning I woke up and I shot an elephant, in my pyjamas. I don`t know what an elephant was doing inside my pyjamas, though!" "You`ve never been so insulted? - you want to get out more!" etc etc!)

My favorite Roseanne Barr quotes:

Experts say you should never hit your children in anger. When is a good time? When you're feeling festive?

My daughter made me a Jerry Springer-watching kit, with crackers, Cheez Whiz, polyester stretch pants and a T-shirt with two fat women fighting over a skinny guy.

Roseanne Barr

My husband and I didn't sign a pre-nuptial agreement. We signed a mutual suicide pact. Roseanne Barr

Roseanne Barr

The quickest way to a man's heart is through his chest.

Roseanne Barr

The thing women have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it.

Roseanne Barr

There's a lot more to being a woman than being a mother, but there's a hell of a lot more to being a mother than most people suspect.

Roseanne Barr

Women complain about PMS, but I think of it as the only time of the month when I can be myself.

Roseanne Barr

Women should try to increase their size rather than decrease it, because I believe the bigger we are, the more space we'll take up, and the more we'll have to be reckoned with.

Roseanne Barr
