“I have no hesitation in saying that although the American woman never leaves her domestic sphere and is in some respects very dependent within it, nowhere does she enjoy a higher station. And if anyone asks me what I think the chief cause of the extraordinary prosperity and growing power of this nation, I should answer that it is due to the superiority of their women.”
Alexis de Tocqueville
“Home is the girl's prison and the woman's workhouse”
George Bernard Shaw
“I prefer the word "homemaker" because "housewife" always implies that there may be a wife someplace else”
Bella Abzug
“Religion is preserved by wealth; knowledge by diligent practice; a king by conciliatory words; and a home by a dutiful housewife.”
Chanakya
“. . . a great deal of wonderful clutter -- all of it carefully ordered and intimately meaningful to the homemaker. She cares little about the intrinsic value of any of her possessions as long as it's something she loves.”
Billy Baldwin
“A man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility, thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride.”
C.S. Lewis
“We do everything together. I'm a homemaker and he's retired. It's not like we're in a contest against each other.”
Rosa Elkins
