Some women want to feel they are in danger because they want to feel desirable. ~ Noel Tasker
A married man is safe. A bachelor is a constant challenge to any woman alive. ~ Squire Kurik
It is the duty of every woman to make the most of herself in all ways. Contact with other women and interchange of thought will widen her mental horizon. ~ Dr. Emily Ryder
A good-looking woman with a fixed determination would always make an Exocet missile look like a badly designed firework.
What a mighty congregation of women you are. There are three and one-half million of you. You live in many lands and you speak with a variety of tongues. But you understand with a single heart. Each of you is a daughter of God. Reflect on all the wondrous meaning of that one paramount fact. He who is our Eternal Father has blessed you with miraculous powers of mind and body. He never intended that you should be less than the crowning glory of His creations. I remind you of words spoken by the Prophet Joseph to the women of the Relief Society in April of 1842. Said he: “If you live up to your privilege, the angels cannot be restrain’d from being your associates” (Relief Society Minutebook, 28 Apr. 1842, LDS Church Archives). What marvelous potential lies within you.
"We only have babies when we're young enough not to know how grim life turns out. Once we really get the full measure of it - we're slow learners, we women - we dry up in disgust and sensibly halt production." ~ Nanny
"people with managing skills....people with gumption. In a word, women." ~ Madame Morrible
"as women (wear) cologne, men (wear) proofs, to secure their own sense of themselves, and thus to be attractive." ~ Elphaba (The Wicked Witch of the West)
Tribal mothers always tell their children that there are two kinds of anger: how and cold. Boys and girls experience both, but as they grow up the Maybe of sex, too..... And girls need cold anger. They need the cold simmer, the ceaseless grudge, the talent to avoid forgiveness, the sidestepping of compromise. They need to know when they say something that they will never back down, ever, ever. It's the compensation for a more limited scope in the world. Cross a man and you struggle, one of you wins, you adjust and go on - or you lie there dead. Cross a woman and the universe is changed, once again, for cold anger requires an eternal vigilance in all matters of slight and offense. ~ Sarima, Dowager Empress of the Arjikis (Fiyero's Wife)
The Holy Priesthood is conferred, as an individual bestowal, upon men only, an this in accordance with Divine requirement. It is not given to woman to exercise the authority of the Priesthood independently; nevertheless, in the sacred endowments associated with the ordinances pertaining to the House of the Lord, woman shares with man the blessings of the Priesthood.
"women who see old age approaching...(welcome) every present like magic gift to make (them) younger"
..it is natural for females to have feelings of charity...
The female part of community are apt to be contracted in their views. You must not be contracted, but you must be liberal in your feelings.
President Spencer W. Kimball explained: “To be a righteous woman during the winding up scenes on this earth, before the second coming of our Savior, is an especially noble calling. The righteous woman’s strength and influence today can be tenfold what it might be in more tranquil times.” President Nelson has likewise implored: “I plead with my sisters of [the] Church … to step forward! Take your rightful and needful place in your home, in your community, and in the kingdom of God—more than you ever have before.”
Every time a woman used sex as a club, she should become pregnant so she’d have nine months to meditate on its real meaning.…Sex wasn’t meant to be a club or a reward. ~ The Kidnapper
Women (don't) follow logic's rules when they (commit) adultery.
Only beautiful women really love pearls. ~ Mrs. Wagstaff quoting her husband
Beauty calls for beauty. ~ Mrs. Wagstaff quoting her husband
Men and women are equal in God’s eyes and in the eyes of the Church, but equal does not mean the same. The responsibilities and divine gifts of men and women differ in their nature but not in their importance or influence. God does not regard either gender as better or more important than the other.
"being a mortal woman is hard on the heart, hard on the feet"
Men age more successfully than women. ~ Alexandrina Vargas Montoro
As women, we do ourselves an injustice if we assume that only men need to understand the priesthood. And we diminish God's power when we equate *holders of the priesthood* with *priesthood power.* Statements such as, "We would like to thank the priesthood for setting up the chairs," or "I'm so grateful to have the priesthood in my home" are not accurate and do not do the priesthood justice. Priesthood holders are men. "The priesthood" refers to keys, authority, and power--God's power.
Gender is not, and has never been, a qualifier for receiving the blessings of priesthood power.
Women are not required to hold the priesthood to enter the house of the Lord, though the ordinances performed there are priesthood in nature, whereas men are. Neither are women required to hold the priesthood to serve as leaders in the Church.
The Lord has blessed His daughters with certain distinctive, divine gifts--including, said Joseph Smith, "feelings of charity," which result in an innate ability and desire to nurture and love. The gift of charity is the culminating gift of the Spirit, for it embodies almost all others. And women are blessed with a propensity for this gift.
Our sisters do not wish to be indulged or to be treated condescendingly; they desire to be respected and revered as our sisters and our equals. I mention [this], my brethren, not because the doctrines or teachings of the Church regarding women are in any doubt, but because in some situations our behavior is of doubtful quality.
If I were Satan...I would keep women so distraught and distracted that they would never find calming strength and serenity...catching them in the crunch of trying to be superhuman instead of realistically striving to reach their individual purpose and unique God-given potential. We must have the courage to be imperfect.
