When you have a great and difficult task something perhaps almost impossible if you only work a little at a time every day a little suddenly the work will finish itself.

A little less complaint and whining and a little more dogged work and manly striving would do us more credit than a thousand civil rights bills.

It took a lot of blood sweat and tears to get to where we are today but we have just begun. Today we begin in earnest the work of making sure that the world we leave our children is just a little bit better than the one we inhabit today.

Then I read Little Women and of course like a lot of really young girls I was very taken with Jo - Jo being the writer and the misfit.

Show me a frigid women and nine times out of ten I'll show you a little man.

And what I saw happening is that women don't make one decision to leave the workforce. They makes lots of little decisions really far in advance that kind of inevitably lead them there.

The trouble with women umpires is that I couldn't argue with one. I'd put my arms around her and give her a little kiss.

When I get up and work out I'm working out just as much for my girls as I am for me because I want them to see a mother who loves them dearly who invests in them but who also invests in herself. It's just as much about letting them know as young women that it is okay to put yourself a little higher on your priority list.

There's very little advice in men's magazines because men don't think there's a lot they don't know. Women do. Women want to learn. Men think 'I know what I'm doing just show me somebody naked.'

Three things have been difficult to tame: the oceans fools and women. We may soon be able to tame the oceans fools and women will take a little longer.

Women: You can't live with them and you can't get them to dress up in a skimpy little Nazi costume and beat you with a warm squash or something.

I seem to be getting a lot of things pushed my way that are strong women. It's like people see Hackers and they send me offers to play tough women with guns the kind who wear no bra and a little tank top. I'd like to play strong women who are also very feminine.

It is little men know of women their smiles and their tears alike are seldom what they seem.

He who is taught to live upon little owes more to his father's wisdom than he who has a great deal left him does to his father's care.

At sixty I know little more about wisdom than I did at thirty but I know a great deal more about folly.

It is astonishing with how little wisdom mankind can be governed when that little wisdom is its own.

To be satisfied with a little is the greatest wisdom and he that increaseth his riches increaseth his cares but a contented mind is a hidden treasure and trouble findeth it not.

It has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important.

I mean I was born the day war broke out but I don't remember all the bombs though they did actually break up Liverpool you know. I remember when I was a little older there was big gaps in all the streets where houses used to be. We used to play over them.

War makes strange giant creatures out of us little routine men who inhabit the earth.

I was a little girl in World War II and I'm used to being freed by Americans.

I don't like war. I particularly don't like the celebration of war which I think the administration is a little bit guilty of.

I've worked for 55 years. I'm going to take a little time off to tell you the truth. It's just that now in the last couple of weeks Gelman is pouring it on. 'Farewell to Regis!' It's getting embarrassing.

Let us be a little humble let us think that the truth may not perhaps be entirely with us.
