"A woman is like a tea bag – you can’t tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water." ― Eleanor Roosevelt Topic(s): Women Tags: woman More From Eleanor Roosevelt "It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it." "Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give." "I think, at a child’s birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity." More In Women "I love to wear lingerie. The problem is that men always rip it off too quickly. When women are dolled up in lingerie they feel sexy. So let us wear it for five minutes."― Karen McDougal "While cats can be infuriating, little old women in fur coats, they make me laugh. Of course, dogs, horses and my highly social chickens are dear to me, too."― Rita Mae Brown "Women want love to be a novel, men a short story."― Daphne du Maurier
