"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 "Women are like teabags. We don’t know our true strength until we are in hot water!" "Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world." "You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’" More In Women "Once we hit forty, women only have about four taste buds left: one for vodka, one for wine, one for cheese, and one for chocolate."― Gina Barreca "I grew up in the Bronx where you would stay up late with your girlfriends, just being silly in our bedrooms, whatever. And I was always the clown."― Jennifer Lopez "Men reach their sexual peak at eighteen. Women reach theirs at thirty-five. Do you get the feeling that God is playing a practical joke?"― Rita Rudner
